bonaccorsi2 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I want to buy one Atari Flashback, but I have a few doubts: 1. All Flashback 9 models comes with SD card slot? 2. All Flashback 8 and 9 are HD? Or only the ones where it's written in the box "HD"? 3. Wired joysticks or wireless ones? Which models are better? 4. Are Paddle controllers now working on the Flashback 9? 5. Flashback X, is it better than the previous ones? If positive, why? 6. Any suggestions about this matter? I only want to have the best possible Flashback to play Atari games, with good image, sound and playability. Thanks in advance for any help!

Wizzard Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) Why not FB X? I never had another FB, but I like it, cause it is small like some Raspberry with the case and very light. Although, the performance is not so good, latency is not zero and the controller cable is not very long. But it can be modded to support the games from USB or we can even completely replace the internal games while running from USB. However, I cannot change the resolution so it is hard for me to use it on my older 4:3 TV via HDMI-AV converter, cause the image is always in 16:9 aspect ratio. BTW, maybe I made a mistake that I bought deluxe version from USA for a lot of money and now we can buy regular version here for 50 € from our grocery store Edited March 22, 2020 by Wizzard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am not sure if all FB 9 comes with this slot. Anyway, thanks for your feedback about the FB X! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
