+Intellivision Master Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 My Playdate console arrived yesterday. But I'm having a problem trying to set it up. The console asks for a PIN to be entered on their website. The thing is, I don't know where you enter that information. I looked in my account with them but I don't see anywhere to enter the PIN. I did reach out to the company about it. I'm still waiting to hear from them. I wasn't expecting this to happen. Hopefully it gets resolved. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/291460-playdate-a-new-handheld-console-with-a-crank/page/12/#findComment-5081282 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zap! Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I am in Group 4, so hopefully I get it sometime in the second half of the year. What's crazy is that I pre-ordered just 24 hours after they started taking them. I guess in the first day, they sold 30,000+. My fault for not ordering right away. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/291460-playdate-a-new-handheld-console-with-a-crank/page/12/#findComment-5082328 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmaletic Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) Quote I don't see where though. Visit https://play.date.pin (My last URL, the forums auto-included a period at the end. That breaks the URL.) You should see a giant text field where you can enter your PIN.

Flojomojo Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Does anyone have any favorite games from sideloading? I have a few recommendations from itch.io but haven't gotten around to loading them up. I still need to spend more time with my device, and give the season pass games more of a chance (I have 6 loaded so far). 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/291460-playdate-a-new-handheld-console-with-a-crank/page/12/#findComment-5083877 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I sideloaded a bunch of indie games, and this one is my favorite so far. It's based on the old handheld game, with sounds sampled from the original. The crank gives a physicality to the simple gameplay and it's a neat retro trip. https://sidfisk.itch.io/retro-derby It's based on Digital Derby, which was not a digital game at all! 3 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/291460-playdate-a-new-handheld-console-with-a-crank/page/12/#findComment-5084433 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having a handheld system with a backlight in 2022 is just a bit baffling in my opinion. Some might disagree, and that is fine. However, pretty sure I am in the majority all things being said. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/291460-playdate-a-new-handheld-console-with-a-crank/page/12/#findComment-5084745 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do make a backlit model, hopefully it would have a setting to change brightness. Also, have the option to turn the console off. Because the Playdate can't be turned off. You can only do sleep mode. It's weird how the console has to stay on all the time. Which drains battery. I have my console is sleep mode and the battery symbol keeps going down without using it. So, perhaps mine is defective. The website claims 14 days standby time. I'll have to see if that ends up being true.

I do appreciate what the Playdate is all about, but wish they hadn't made it too niche. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/291460-playdate-a-new-handheld-console-with-a-crank/page/12/#findComment-5084752 Share on other sites More sharing options...
