Neto Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Can you tell us if the save feature will be added to games we add with the ad card if you can do that I'll gladly rebuy the handheld I am autor of the "Neto Boot Loader" a custom OS which can be used by the "Mega Drive 2017' released by Tec Toy and Other Systems which use the Red Kid 2500 processor having a SD Interface which includes ATGames portables. This OS fixes the processor settings and add other features like Game Genie and Save for some Games ( list of supported games http://www.neto-games.com.br/rom_hack/neto_boot_loader.php#neto_boot_loader_sram). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmadgames Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) We'll have new product announcements soon. Any update on when the announcements are coming? I know you previously mentioned around E3, but I wasn't sure if that was still the case. Edited May 23, 2018 by bmadgames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TF14 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 To be clear, there are no repairs to the emulation itself. The core emulation is exactly the same as before, including the sound. It's extra features on top of that that don't directly impact actual emulation performance. Hi Bill - Is the the paddle "lag" seen in games like Kaboom! being addressed? Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TF14 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Intellivision, a game console from the Atari era, is coming back https://mashable.com/2018/05/29/intellivision-entertainment-revealed-announcement/#XBCq37bhdqqx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TF14 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 The Atari VCS started taking pre-orders today. With the lowest price point starting at $199 (no controllers), is it safe to say that the modern VCS is not competing with AtGames? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Considering you will be able to buy the AtGames products in stores this year, for a lot less money (and probably a lot more games), I would not consider them competitors. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Given what you get at $200 it's not much, at the other tiers, that VCS is more competing with the android tablet/microconsole market. I don't see them pulling out a likely solid win with it. Pushing $300 for a complete package seems steep almost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderGrimm Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I'll be testing the latest build of the Atari HD console tonight. How was is? I'm sure you can't reveal too much, but how did it compare to previous Flashback consoles? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 How was is? I'm sure you can't reveal too much, but how did it compare to previous Flashback consoles? Pretty great. The new emulation and other improvements and features are significant upgrades. At the moment, though, it looks like it will only work with custom AtGames paddles (higher resolution) and not be backwards compatible with the original paddles. I'm not thrilled about that at the moment, but we'll see how it develops. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Flashback 8 got me into collecting Atari games, so I'm glad to hear the new VCS isn't replacing the Flashback series. Even though it will never be a replacement for the original 2600, having a large library of good games and new games on a licensed product that works with modern TVs is always appreciated. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the paddle change will be a big issue as long as the AtGames paddle have good availability 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommanderGrimm Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I'm assuming the new Flashback will be revealed relatively soon, considering the last one was revealed sometime around now last year. So, anyone looking forward to seeing it? The terms "Significant upgrades" and "new emulation" have me curious. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toiletunes Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Are the new paddles compatible with older consoles? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Are the new paddles compatible with older consoles? I don't know yet. I haven't used them myself either. My guess is these will only work with the new console, but that's only a guess at this point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmadgames Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I don't know yet. I haven't used them myself either. My guess is these will only work with the new console, but that's only a guess at this point. If that's the case, hopefully they will be included with the console. I can't really see retailers carrying them separately--at least not in store. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odourman Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I really don't understand this. It's been what, over a decade with the same sound issue and the reason for the issue has been known for several years... The other mystery feature updates may be interesting, but there really seems to be no excuse for the sound emulation issue to still be there after all this time. I'm afraid without that being fixed, I'm going to have to pass on the next Sega Portable no matter what other new features there may be. It’s the same for me. The day the sound is fixed I’ll buy one.

Odourman Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Hi Kevin, I was just reading this article. Sounds like a good update : http://www.seganerds.com/2017/08/15/two-fans-have-reportedly-fixed-the-atgames-genesis-audio-issues/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_iG1IvLbSQ Wow! Have anybody here tried this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
