Atari Flashback portable SD card can behave weirdly


Recommended Posts

I will be brief, as I'm new here and have questions about the Flashback Portables, but first some backstory. Yesterday I picked one off my shelf to dust it off when I remembered: "Oh yeah i just got a SD card selection, maybe i can mess around with the Flashback": Here i am now, using a 8 gig micro SDHC that works sometimes on a 2018 and never on a 2017 portable. Its so jank, if you shake the portable it can freeze it for whatever reason. That raised some questions i now have for a much more experienced community: What are some of the stats on these? They use older TV connections, and im not sure if the RAM / ROM on them were upgraded / degraded throughout 2017-2018.  

 

TL;DR: A newbie got questions on the stats of the SD reader, RAM/ROM, and CPU on the Atari flashback portables of 2017-18.

Start with that. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B000RLBWJK?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1
