  1. I would also like there to be an option to install a premade Linux distro directly from PC mode on top of the bring your own OS approach they have currently.
  2. I would like to see the game preview window become more animated then a simple bounce effect after you've selected it. Either a short looping preview of gameplay or an animated logo similar to what you would see back on the Wii main menu would be ideal. Secondly, a nice selection of different Atari remixed songs based on which section of the menu you are in would be nice along with better menu sound effects (there must be some 2600/ST/Jaguar sounds that could be used that invoke Nostalgia). It would also be nice if it could also be muted or the music be changed for something custom in your library if you don't like the presets. Last of all, I would love some kind of global chat/discord integration right into the console menu (think StarCraft 2 chat) to help grow the community on the device itself. Oh and a music player/visualization app would be great ?
  3. The black walnut all in VCS is 100 dollars off at Best Buy for those who are interested https://www.bestbuy.com/site/atari-vcs-800-all-in-bundle-black-walnut/6459020.p?skuId=6459020&ref=212&loc=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwwo-WBhAMEiwAV4dybWCk_O8ZU3otFnYNhQkm8uNIsRBgJC5MzvRIdiluFYfUgyGpZi9YCxoC-agQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&intl=nosplash
  4. Do you guys think that flashback Fridays will start to come back eventually or is that done? I like the idea of more back catalogue even if Atari Anniversary is going to be a thing.
  5. They really should include that somewhere in the documentation but I digress...
  6. Connect a usb keyboard and press the escape then enter key to get past the prompt for a controller. Used a bunch of different controllers (Xbox one, PS4, and Xbox 360) and this is the only method that seemed to work.
  7. Tell your friends ? I picked one up since it's the cheapest option for Canada. The classic controllers were already sold out so that's a good sign. Definitely excited to join in on the discussion.
  8. I can still see my order in PayPal under authorized/pending however when I called GameStop they said there was an error in their system that prevented the order from completing and so they're refunding me. They said they would honor the price if I refurchased the bundle again from them but as they're sold out I am out of luck.
  9. Gamestop did me dirty. They said my shipping and billing addresses were different and cancelled my order despite the paypal charge initially coming through and still showing an authorization charge on my account. Kind of annoyed that they say they won't honor the sale price either....
  10. I am in Canada and I am using planetexpress to ship the onyx all in to Canada. The process is detailed here and it seems they also go to the UK if anyone else is interested in the deal from abroad: https://www.yoreoyster.com/shipping/gamestop-canada/#:~:text=No%2C Gamestop does not ship,on to you in Canada.
  11. I'm just wondering if there's any footage floating around regarding the developer beta since I am curious how it functions. Mockduck, I'm looking at you ?
  12. It would be awesome to have openbor or one of the open source versions of doom (freedoom) with a way to easily download the different games for them.
  13. I am also holding out for a potential summer sale on the hardware as it's too expensive with shipping to Canada.
  14. I'm just wondering if it would be possible to get some of the new Microprose titles on the VCS. They have a modern low poly flight sim for example that looks like it would be a great fit:
  15. Hi, I'm just wondering hypothetically what open source games could be a good addition to the VCS store. Just to get the ball rolling here are some examples I found: Some of the games from this list could work: https://www.slant.co/topics/1933/~best-open-source-games X-Moto (Elastomania clone): https://github.com/xmoto/xmoto Open source rhythm games Stepmania/project outfox (DDR/ITG): https://projectoutfox.com/ UltraStar World Party (karaoke): https://ultrastar-es.org/en Clone hero (guitar hero) https://clonehero.net/ Osu! (tapping game): https://osu.ppy.sh/home Maldita Castilla: https://locomalito.com/maldita_castilla.php List of free to Play Shmups: https://shmups.wiki/library/Free_to_Play Interested to hear what people think.
