SlowCoder Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Curious question ... What is the benefit of modding a FlashBack console to play cart games? Wouldn't it be just as easy to use a normal console? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarigal Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I've been wondering this too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickeycolumbus Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 It's much smaller and generally has better video output. There are several games that it won't run though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 It's much smaller and generally has better video output. There are several games that it won't run though. Pretty much this. The output video of the Flashback 2 likes capture cards and LCD tv's a LOT more than the majority of the composite a/v mods. If you build the Harmony cart internally into the Flashback 2, it is a very small Atari 2600 that you can easily take on trips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowCoder Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 Ok! That seems like a pretty good reason to mod one. I might have to look into getting one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tz101 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 What games will the modded FB2 not play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevEng Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Theres a compatibility list that includes problematic games in this thread. It doesn't include a lot of homebrews. I'd expect more of those to fail, as they're more likely to use undocumented/illegal opcodes that aren't implemented in FB2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
