Unless I'm mistaken they are Freeway and Pitfall 2. Will be able to access them and add more if/when I have cfw ready, pretty much the same method as FB 9. Where are Freeway and Pitfall 2 hidden at, the two YouTube reviews make no mention of them and they're not on their alphabetical menu?!

They told me that the header of four pins I was looking at on the board are most likely (?) the USB signals. I verified it with an ohmmeter. However, they don't recommend doing anything internally as they don't feel there is room, and it could ruin the board and void the warranty... But that is exactly why I bought two of them Unfortunately however, it doesn't look like I'll be able to put the USB connection where I really want to put it (where the cart slot is) due to lack of room. I may just put it on the side. I'll show what I've done once I do it.

They are in flash storage on the device, but there are no menu entries for them, so there is no way to launch them. It's something that can probably be changed pretty easy once I have a unit and can customize the firmware a little.

This one might work well if you could snake a short USB extension to the solder location. https://www.amazon.com/Reader-Laptop-Windows-Chrome-RS-MMC/dp/B07MK99R14/ref=asc_df_B07MK99R14/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=343224652930&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2885308417997982411&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1020090&hvtargid=pla-729017594866&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=71764766791&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=343224652930&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2885308417997982411&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1020090&hvtargid=pla-729017594866 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/293849-atari-flashback-x-10-spotted-on-instagram/page/5/#findComment-4387836 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Thank you, but I don't think that's going to help me in this case. I may have to 3D print something, because the USB connector *has* to go where the cart port is (IMHO). *I find it funny that the faceplate (where the switches are) comes off just like the original 2600 one did...

Greg2600 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Bob, what if you used a microUSB extension like some of these? I used one on my 3DO, dremeled the case so it slid in there, didn't even need glue. Granted that was a snap-in mounted one for a panel. https://blog.adafruit.com/2019/03/29/new-products-panel-mount-cables-usb-c-to-type-a-usb-c-to-micro-b-male-snap-in-hdmi-cable-snap-in-usb-c-socket-to-usb-a-plug/ https://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-5Pin-Male-to-Female-w-Screw-Hole-Panel-Mount-Extention-Cable-P4K7P4K7/183989100042?epid=28025281605&hash=item2ad69ade0a:g:SJ4AAOSwnY1dnosY Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/293849-atari-flashback-x-10-spotted-on-instagram/page/5/#findComment-4387851 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Thanks! Believe it or not, they are too deep. You only have 10mm of space between the face plate and the circuit board behind it. I think I can 3D print a small bezel with a right angle that can hold a USB connector to fit behind the cart port area...

I don't know about the Sam's Club Deluxe version. Most likely it has those 2 games hidden plus its extra 10. The custom fw that was released for USB support contains only 112 if I recall, the expected 110 plus 2 inaccessible.

fiudr Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 So any news yet on the paddle situation for the X? Does it take the original paddles (and actually work correctly with them, with no jitter)? Is AT Games still releasing paddles for the X? If so, when? Where will they be sold?

I don't know how far you got on this, but I see they have 3D printed faux cartridges you can attach (glue) to the cartridge slot. If they could make a hollow enough one, you could probably fit an SD card or usb port in what would now give something like 30mm to the circuit board. Was thinking you could put a slot in the top of the faux cartridge to insert your sd card. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/293849-atari-flashback-x-10-spotted-on-instagram/page/5/#findComment-4728405 Share on other sites More sharing options...
