So, I'm guessing the videos i see of them are just the free units they send to the goofball youtube people. would have been nice to know before I drove all over town looking for one. The Core is in the hands of regular people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draxxon Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) well the ONLY video reviews i saw were of people who got free units. Im not saying people havent got one, but they didnt buy it at gamestop. so is it online only for another 2 weeks? i need to go to 4 walmarts or 7 dollar generals before i find one like a woodgrain atari portable? I have to figure out for myself where the new units are at like the AFBX2020 at menards and sams? i mean i could go on and on. I'm just going to wait two weeks and buy one from gamestop, that way if i have to return it, i can with no issues.

TF14 Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Hi @Bill Loguidice, Will the Legends Flashback continue to be produced or is it being replaced by the Legends Core? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1980gamer Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Floating an idea.. in 2 or 3 years how about 'The Final Flashback" 2600 Deluxe Edition. Have the latest version of Stella, support SD, include Joysticks, Paddles and Keypad controls. It wouldn't need a ton of hard to license games. But include a few paddle games and Star Raider. HDMI out of course! I haven't grabbed an Atari Flashback in several versions. But I would get this. Maybe 2 for the controllers alone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Loguidice Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 If the market is receptive again in a few years, I'm sure we can get back into inexpensive plug and plays rather quickly. Right now, it's geared to more premium home arcade items. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draxxon Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) Mr @Bill Loguidice I see the old legends core hits shelves tomorrow. I hope we get some round here. I have a sort of off topic question. On the 22nd AtGames release new firmware updates for the AFBX, AFBXD, LFB2019, LFBD2019 and the old LFB2018. Now, its all gone. I got the Atari Update, but i missed the LFB updates. Do you have any idea what might me going on? I know the River Raid sound fix was wrong on the Atari side of things, but I never got to see the LFB stuff. I Hope to God Almighty they fixed the NES buttons..... B goes on the left, tell them for me, pretty please. If not its kind of a deal breaker without being able to reconfig my buttons.

No Quarter Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Looks like GameStop pushed the Legends Core release date back to 3/31. I haven’t been in a physical store, but that’s what the website shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draxxon Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Gamestop: Legends Core AtGames Release Date: 03/31/2021 Did something happen to the release date? Why is there never any info about what is going on? What the hell is going on with the AFBX and LFB2 firmware updates? I went ahead and listened to Bill and just ordered it from the website. I should have just listened to him in the first place, but I like to give him a hard time. I'm sorry, buddy, you tried to help me. Maybe next time I'll listen, no promises though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draxxon Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) no they were actually posted, then removed. Is something wrong with the updates themselves? will we get fixed updates? is it all the hacking that's going on? I re-uploaded them here, In post #431: (#433 has the revision notes) Atari Flashback X Custom Firmware for USB roms and boxart - Page 18 - AtGames Flashback and Portable Consoles - AtariAge Forums I know that the flashback X's displayed the box art thumbnails incorrectly. I know that newer units bought recently have firmware v8 and v21 and the issue wasnt fixed. v9 and v21??? (how was this v21, when v21 still had bad art?) came out with fixed art. They actually fixed the P2 glitch on Space Invaders Arcade as well. In a couple days the updates were gone. A full version of the deluxe firmware was also leaked around this time. I had nothing to do with that. they fixed audio on a few games, but river raid audio fix wasnt correct, at the same time, the AFBX hacking project had a few break throughs. It's just all very curious. Edited March 2, 2021 by Draxxon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinChargers Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Walmart.com has a heck of a deal on the Legends Gamer Pro as of this message. $99. As someone who was a big fan of the Taito collections in the PS2 era, I went for it and one will be on the way this next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, @Bill Loguidice, what is going on with the AtGames Flashback Zone? It’s been 6 weeks since you were informed by @Draxxon that new AFBX, AFBXD, LFB & LFBD firmware had been posted before being mysteriously deleted. Not only that, but the firmware & release notes pages have been regressively scrubbed clear back to circa 12/19 - 2/20. The LFBD I purchased 11/20 came w/ v1.0.4, and it’d be nice to know what that means. The whole purpose of a Release Notes page is to provide a historical record of ALL changes, no matter how insignificant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it will help if I tell you my last name is Romanotto, and I too am a good Sicilian boy. La stessa cosa. You can always just PM me, and I'll keep it la cosa nostra.

TF14 Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 Has anyone tested the new Atari 2600 game Circus Convoy by with David Crane, Garry Kitchen and Dan Kitchen of Audacity Games on a Flashback? The game uses 128k (or kb?) so it is on the large side. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draxxon Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) It takes a newer version of stella. A stock flashback won't run it. stella 6.1 runs around 90% speed on a hacked atari flashback X. slower on a hacked 9. Someone with a hacked 9 tried it and said it was somewhat playable.

Draxxon Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Ok, My names is not Dragonstomper, thats my rank (and the title of an atari game). That seems to happen a lot. Almost a year and a half w/o an update. I'm guessing AtGames doesn't care to keep supporting the flashbacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
