Loafer Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I am considering ordering an atarivox+ as there are some recent homebrew games that provide very good support for this device. So if I get one and plug it into the joystick port 2 of the Phoenix, would it work when running a compatible Atari 2600 game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcadeJunkie Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 That is actually a very good question... maybe if i have some time this weekend i shall give it a try and report back. Regardless, i love using the atarivox on my Vectrex and my 7800! you should honestly just get one to use in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it needs 5v power it will not work as the Phoenix 9 pin ports have no 5v pin. It you built an adapter with a 5v power to pin 7 of the AtariVox, then it might work. However, Do not let the 5v go to pin 7 of the Phoenix port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmack36 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 There is no Atarivox support currently implemented in the core. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m certain it is an excellent device but I am migrating from the older consoles to the Phoenix. Really getting tired of the older devices’ aging issues and soon I think I will be CRT less in the house. This isn’t a negative to our old favorite consoles, just a reality for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
