walter_J64bit Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 The 7800 I have runs robot tank just fine but the cart gets hot what's up with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaynz Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I noticed that a lot of my 2600 carts were getting really hot running in the 7800. No idea if it's supposed to do that, or if it's sending too much current in the old carts. :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kulp Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 weird. never noticed that with my 7800. maybe i just don't play the games that long though... my Robot Tank doesn't work in my 7800. neither does Springer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wongojack Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Probably has nothing to do with Robot Tank except that game fits snugly. There is a large heatsink on the 7800 right behind the cart slot. When I've had the system's cover off, I can see it clearly. It heats up quickly, but I've never tested it game by game to find out if it does it more in 2600 mode or 7800 mode etc. Its on the label side of your carts . . . Edit - this thread suggests that Robot Tank is one of the few games not compatible with the 7800: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/197369-why-i-should-not-buy-a-7800-to-play-mostly-2600/page__hl__slot?do=findComment&comment=2515527 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
