I have a copy, but I am uncertain if it is PAL, as it doesn't have a P on the back. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electric-Dreams Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 On 12/20/2023 at 8:34 PM, Ben from Plaion said: Development work is done. Everything I mentioned I would do has been completed. Few additional things have been added. Only omission is no work has been done on MNetwork bank switching because I haven't yet got any carts. There was 2 developers working and now I'm waiting for their work to be merged together. Then test and release. Thinking I may release it as a beta on Atari Age first. I will finally be able to unwrap my Atari 2600+ on the morning of December 25th. I hope that Santa will also bring me the new beta firmware at the same time, so I can immediately flash my console and play my 125 Atari 2600 PAL game cartridges. 😇 @Ben from Plaion I hope you already have a Santa Claus costume? There isn't much time left to find one 😋 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious to know... what any progress made on fixing this issue detailed here with certain versions of white shelled Coleco cartridges? It keeps popping up where I see people complaining that their Coleco games doesn't work even though they are on the compatibility list as "PASS".
