rocketfan Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) @RenatoDCD Go back to the link below and download the firmware package from Bill L. That one looks like it includes the roms partition. Re-apply that according to the instructions. Check to see if you got your stock games back. Then you could start over. https://armchairarcade.com/perspectives/2019/10/21/atari-flashback-x-2019-upgrade-to-support-external-usb-drives/ Edited January 28, 2023 by rocketfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazlorrobot Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Could anyone please send me a download link to the RKDevTool and Driver Assistant in order to be able to update the firmware of my Flashback X? I don't find them on the website of AtGames. Thanks a lot! a.ggg.guy@gmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smatityahu Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Hello guys. My atari flashback X is having issues with all firmware updates posted here. It just crashes after a few minutes of playing. Is there any possibility to reset the original firmware? Detail: Only the firmware for the Gold version works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't pull up virtual pad. Can you help me @rocketfan trying to use Atari joystick for intellivision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cambam2221 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 @rocketfan Ok finally got intellivision working on my Atari flashback x but how do I map the Atari controller so that it is similar to colecovision flashback on the nexus build?

I'll separate .atr from .xex with the "atari" and "paddle" Genre= sections. Where can I find the roms for the Atari400/800 games that will work on the Atari Flashbacks?

Mister R Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Hi all, Apologies if I’m posting this message in the wrong forum, but my son wants to upgrade his Atari Flashback X or it might be an Atari Flashback 50 and he wants to upgrade it, so that it runs Nexus as shown in the Youtube video (link shown below). https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=Ds0WHuz9gjQ Unfortunately the link in the comments in the Youtube video does not work, but my understanding is that I need the latest copy of the Nexus and the appropriate firmware for the version of the Flashback I own. Can anyone advise me which specific version of Nexis and firmware I need? I really don’t want to brick the Flashback, as I’ve only recently found the version he wants (old looking Atari version). Thanks in advance, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectreman Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 You guys are having problems with the Flashback X sometimes not registering the button press? Is very random, but really frustrating when happen. I upgrade to the official firmware 0.18 but keep happen. Those custom firmware could someone make the 2600 better and solve my issue?

Spectreman Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 9 hours ago, fluxit said: Fire button? Have you tried a different joystick or set of paddles? Yes. This also happen with other joysticks and even with the paddle fire button. And those controllers work fine in the original Atari. Is something with the signal. I have a generic 2600 controller and also happen with it, but less frequently. And and I don´t think is a mechanical thing with the button, because when fail I can keep the fire button fully pressioned and not register. Maybe is something that can happen in other units but people did not notice if play very little or games where you are always smashing the fire button. A way to test is star Hero and keep pressing the fire button. Not fast, just long presses to see when not work. Is random, but in the 20/30 times should get a one time not working.

I'm having this problem still myself, no firmware fixes the crash, sometimes can play for 2min or 20 min but it always ends up crashing then I have to reset and it's right back to working until it decides to crash again.🤔 I have tried the original firmware and multiple cfw but nothing stops the crashing. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I know it was fine until I tried the over clocking cfw then the problem started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketfan Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) @beatles2001 If you applied the overclock and you are locking up you can undo it with the undo update which is posted over on page 7 of this other topic. It's definitely possible the overclock would cause it. It does work on many devices, but there's a reason they chose the original clockrate!

Hi, I have only been on very sporadically over the last few months and apologies that I missed some of your posts above. You mean just the second button mapped as select? Without making it a long story that's controlled by the KeyMappingUser section described in the post below. For Colecovision in Nexus that's set up in /rom_cv/data/retroplayer.ini and there's already an entry for each game. There may be a reason the mapping was set like it is, but not sure at this point. It does look to me (without playing with it) like select button might not being used for the second action button, but it really depends how the core is built and I'm not sure. I'm just starting to fiddle with an update to Nexus. If you give me an example of a two button game I can take a look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx so much for this, and yes I did use the overclocking firmware and I do believe that is what causes the lockup so with any luck this will fix it. I will post an update once I have placed the firmware provided. Thanks and Have a Happy New Year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeKryptonite Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Hi all, I just started my journey with this and have applied all the latest updates from this thread. I see that another thread was started but it doesn't exist any longer. Where can we find the very latest updates to the NEXUS build these days? Is there a new authoritative source? I imagine there has been some continued progress and I don't want to miss out on what's new. Hope someone can point me in the right direction - this is awesome. Thanks!

I'm not caught up on what the scoop is on AtGames releasing any more of these, but if there has been a newer firmware for FBX I can maybe take a look at that soon if an updated mod is needed/possible. I was foolish enough to back the Atari VCS, which has surprisingly just arrived, so I have that to mess with now too -- seems like it should run Stella 6 really well, whereas with the FB units it was always pretty iffy and so far has never worked. What version of Stella is running on FB units? Edited February 25 by MrChickenz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
