Inky Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 annotated.jpg meanwhile, Atari is hosting old arcade games on their website to play for free! That's neat! Screen Shot 2018-08-09 at 1.10.48 PM.png Too bad they don't work. Sad trombone. Screen Shot 2018-08-09 at 1.10.17 PM.png And their social media people seem to have quit. Screen Shot 2018-08-09 at 1.09.33 PM.png Screen Shot 2018-08-09 at 1.09.13 PM.png their stock is down Screen Shot 2018-08-09 at 1.09.52 PM.png and they keep missing that $3M mark on their crowdfunding. Screen Shot 2018-08-09 at 1.07.05 PM.png At least TinGiant.com is still up! Good old reliable TinGiant.com! Never change, you! Screen Shot 2018-08-09 at 1.07.25 PM.png Hater.

PlaysWithWolves Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 It's a regular ghost town on AtariVCS everywhere. Even backers have stopped talking about it on Indiegogo. If anyone needs a filler, I'd recommend StopDrop&Retro's latest update about the SmachZ. I think in a year or two he may be able to recycle much of the script for the Ataribox--right down to the "hotel room across the street from a convention" part. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I really like the concept of the Smach Z, and would buy one if it wasn't so expensive (well, and it existed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I really like the concept of the Smach Z, and would buy one if it wasn't so expensive (well, and it existed). Scrub to 11:15 in SDR's video. "A handheld PC isn't an original idea, there have been others in the past, and there will be others in the future." It's hard to balance miniaturization, thermals, computing power, and price -- there's a reason no one has pulled this off in a big way, except for laptops. The GPD Win is more or less the same thing -- and it exists -- but I don't think it's worth the asking price. And now that I'm thinking of it, I just bid on one for $188 on Ebay. I doubt I'll win, these go for $300 every time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

00010000 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Nice for who? Screen Shot 2018-08-10 at 1.57.14 PM.png These specs sound pretty bad for the price. Could've at least gone w/ LPDDR4 and maybe eMMC over microSD (almost sure the flash is microSD) and an Intel i3 7101E which is only $117 and that's w/o bulk pricing, and has a better iGPU while also being embedded. Honestly the only problem there would probably be the TDP; even downclocked it'd still hit pretty high for a handheld so they'd have to do some Switch-like docking/undocking feature to control what power's used in which state. But then if that makes it impossible, quite honestly it just doesn't sound worth it b/c the 610 iGPU just doesn't have enough juice for most PC games even on the lowest settings, so that selling advantage of "uncompromised PC gaming on the go" is just completely dead.

Flojomojo Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Yup ... I think we'll get there eventually (PC games from 2005 run fine on fanless Bay Trail processors), but we are not there yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Michael Artz says "Pong will not have a battle royale mode, unless it does." Between that and his quip with El Reg that "if I told you that I'd have to kill you," this VCS is shaping up to be the biggest Dad Joke Console in history. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vcoleiro1 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) I have a GPD WIN 2, it's awesome. They basically stuffed a M3 laptop into a handheld - thus the price. And the main storage is a user replaceable M.2 2242 SSD, the uSD slot is secondary storage. You'd be surprised at the PC games it can play pretty well And I wouldn't buy it from Amazon at that price, generally it sells for $700 for the 128GB model, still steep, but they did cram a lot into it. There is also a 256GB SSD model coming soon Edited August 11, 2018 by vcoleiro1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+frankodragon Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 It's been about a year and so far I haven't seen anyone wearing an asshat... err Speakerhat™® out in public. Has anyone else? I'd guess anyone with lots of cash will buy that and a Schmuck Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) It's been about a year and so far I haven't seen anyone wearing an asshat... err Speakerhat™® out in public. Has anyone else? I'd guess anyone with lots of cash will buy that and a Schmuck Z. I would guess anyone with that kind of money would be blowing money at actual upscale stores (such as Nordstrom) and buying stuff like Gucci hats, rather then moronic speakerhats. https://shop.nordstrom.com/c/mens-hats-gloves-scarves?origin=topnav&cm_sp=Top%20Navigation-_-Men-_-Hats%2C%20Gloves%20&%20Scarves=&top=72&offset=0&page=1&sort=Boosted&brand=1026 Or if it's an actual Atari fan with money to spare, more then likely i'd guess they'd be hunting down expensive, rare games, accessories, or actual vintage memorabilia of whatever sort. And again, not speakerhats. I would expect any Atari fan (regardless of their wealth or how much money they have to spare) that's aware of their history and the numerous ownership changes and any knowledge of what Nutari is currently like, they would be refusing to support Nutari at all in any way, shape or form.
