+Stephen Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Man - I hate to say this because people are going to get mad. But: 1 - Emulators exist than can handle EVERY upgrade imaginable, some not even existing in real life. 2 - Stereo machines have existed since 1984 IIRC, and PAL has since pre-1980. There are many upgrades that don't get support for precisely this reason. Please try to realize. It's 2023 and technology has moved on. If nobody wrote software for more modern Ataris, we could still have shit running via cassette on 8kB machines. Every time someone bitches that a game doesn't run on a 4kB OS-A 400 with original membrane keyboard, a poor soul who has spent money on a VBXE upgrade will NEVER have hope of getting software that supports it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A second Pokey would be a nice upgrade. Otherwise, with SubCart you can have stereo/covox emulation without opening the machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxl Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Why is there no support for the HiScoreCafe system. Why play if you can't compete and crush the weaklings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
