It Might be in Stella itself, but not on the Darn Atari Flashback Portable. I had a FB2 and yes it was flickery which is why I waited until the FB9 to play it on a modern TV. All is well with that version. It's not flickery in Stella though. This is the second time in this thread you've come in here and had it all backwards.

Nukey Shay Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I think he's referring to the original Asteroids on the Flashback Portable. This does not flicker at all. The emulator cheated with this Rom to achieve this...and it only works with the original (non-copyright display) file. Change any byte in it and the emulator will treat it like normal - flickering the asteroids on 1 frame, the ship and ufo on the other. FB2 Asteroids Deluxe uses hollowed-out sprites, so the flicker is not as noticeable (regardless of platform). However, the display does jitter like crazy on the Portable 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 That DAT file trick is for the old Sega Genesis portable. It doesn't work on any of the Atari units, just like that thread says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetset Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I can't seem to get mine to work. It won't recognize the SD card. I've tried different brands and sizes, made the directory "game", made sure the bin file was the proper format, but every time I choose the SD card option, it goes to a loading screen, then right back to the menu. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try re-formatting the SD card with this app: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/ The portable is very touchy with formatting. My SD card was formatted by Windows and it wasn't working. After re-formatting with the app, it worked fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an F4 bankswitch conversion made by batari that may work, but it has a couple issues. 1. For some reason it is 32k now, instead of 16k. 2. I can't seem to get the controller to work after getting past the start screen - also true in Stella and Harmony cart w/ real 2600.

Nukey Shay Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 1) Bankswitch conversions are usually larger than the parent Rom, because they need to operate via "standard" method only (swapping a full 4k instead of individual slices of 2k or less). So the added banks provide different configurations of "slices" present. 2) Right difficulty is a pause switch. Flip it to A to continue. Still fails on the portable tho. Just a blank screen with a bit of noise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a blank screen with a bit of noise. Bah, I think the thread said left difficulty because I'd tried the A and B position, but only left. Works in Stella and Harmony now. Funny it doesn't work on FBP with the standard Atari bank switch. It was originally converted for the Krocodile Kart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
