garyd97 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Are there any updates on the progress of this system being released? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanallan Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 If it were me, I'd be a bit miffed at releasing a portable based on the FB2 with the release of the FB3 out there by another company. If @games makes a portable it's sure to not be true to form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyd97 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 The FB3 doesn't have SD support, the portable w/ Legacy will. The last I heard, Legacy was going to put out the portable without Atari licensing. I was just wondering what the update on that was.

+ls650 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Frankly, I gave up on the idea of getting an 'official' Atari portable a while ago, and bought a used PSP to install open firmware on. I don't use it for playing PSP games: I have emulators for the 2600, 7800, Lynx, Intellivision, Vectrex, and Colecovision installed on it with an assortment of favorite games. Stella, Handy, Colem, etc all run quite well, the button controls are configurable to your liking, and I find about 98% of ROMs run just fine. (The one exception is the Intellivision emulator; I find it has a success rate of only about 60%.) If there is ever a real Atari portable put out, I would definitely consider buying it, though.

garyd97 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 If this is a finished product, why not just remove the Atari name and release it? The fund raising system used for the book seemed to work well. There are many people that have been waiting on this for a very long time.

MaskDeSmith Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I would actually like this a lot. Atari's games would make for great portable play. Play Combat for a couple minutes on the bus. Honestly I'd rather pay for a portable than another console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then someone could just "lay" it down on their PSP. Could have something there....??? Don't know about the legality, etc... But neato nonetheless.....
