krslam Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 FWIW, I used a new Kingston 8GB class4 SD card ($5 at Fred Meyer). No problems - didn't have to reformat or do anything other than drag the Game folder onto the card. I did this on a Linux (Ubuntu) machine which maybe generates less extraneous crap than Windows. Now I've got another 500+ games to try. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/258970-atari-flashback-portable-faq-and-compatibility-list/page/15/#findComment-3664526 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fr0st Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Just to chip in on the SD card compatibility, I was trying some 32mb cards I had lying around for years with no joy, after trying everything. I got a 4 gb Agfa Photo Class 10 card today, and it works perfectly straight away, no formatting needed.

+KaeruYojimbo Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I found a couple of other changes. Tomarc the Barbarian (Tomarc the Barbarian.bin) seems to work fine. Summer games doesn't need a special controller, but each event has its own control scheme. I was able to play all of the events but the 100 Yard Dash was hard because it requires moving the joystick in a circle which is tough to do with the d-pad. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/258970-atari-flashback-portable-faq-and-compatibility-list/page/15/#findComment-3665412 Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) Time for another compilation of Doctor Clu's favorites for the Atari Flashback Portable. Honestly not much has changed, about the same list, cleaned it up a little better this time so shouldn't be any trash files the Mac seems to pile on. But what did change is pretty big... 1) Fix it Felix - Cybearg has not only hacked this game to work with the AFP, but has made a version with more visibility of the characters, action, and detail than ever before. 2) Star Raiders - Nukey Shay had to do so much to get this to work. The keypad controls were changed to the difficulty switches and mono/color switch. The Dpad was not working but is now. And the display was scrolled down where the status display at the bottom could not be seen. All that is fixed and ready to play. 3) Defend your Castle - Might be one player but just fun target practice! 4) Star Castle - An old favorite arcade game of mine (used to have the arcade game growing up and played it for hours) which I am glad works on the AFP. A lot of Christmas games like Bad Elf, Naughty List, and Donkey Kong Christmas and in truth, they are just fun games. I tried finding a arcade version of Donkey Kong that worked on the AFP. I've added a file called "Donkey Kong third level" that shows a non-working work in progress of the elevator level. Hope that is finished one day. Also have Spy Hunter in there. Not completely working since you can't do the second joystick, but a fun game. Root Beer Tapper and the demo "Doctor" suffer from the screen down migration bug of the AFP. I like them anyway. And Q-Bert arcade only has one playable level I believe, which is fine since I like Q-bert but not enough to play more than one level anyway. I love the attempts to make more arcade looking ports (Dig Dug arcade, Hack-Man, Pac-Man 8K, etc) so if you know of others, please let me know and I'll try them out. Enjoy Fix it Felix, Star Raiders, and the rest of this collection.

BTW, the links on the "compatibility list" for Fix-It Felix do not work. Initially it was released in my collection and was not on a forum post yet. A fun way to introduce the game since I commissioned that port for the AFP to be made. As for the links on the compatibility list: Try positioning the cursor over the filename or the cell to the right of the comments. A link should appear, you click on that and download the file. I posted this on another forum, but just for completeness...

Atariboy Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Is screen position what was wrong with Enduro? I was thinking that there was supposed to be a vehicle counter telling me how many more cars I needed to pass, but figured I've just been away for a year or two and was mistaken.

+LS650 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 The bottom part of the screen with the "car count" and the Activision logo are clipped off. The original ROM is still playable. I just tried the 'portable' version with the VBLANK fix, and it does appear completely onscreen now.
