Prince Manic Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 here's what Plaion and Atari should do if it cannot be reversed via firmware - just redo the top with correct labeling and issue a replacement program that they send you the top as a free replacement with just the top and you transfer your rockchip board to the correct version. I doubt a firmware update will in other means "correct it" it all relies on the traces since it's correct on the PCB - usually firmware updates cannot reverse switches if one thing is incorrect.

+remowilliams Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 The switches can be easily 'fixed' in firmware to reflect the physical labeling - which of course will remain wrong compared to a real 2600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 (edited) Yeah, they definitely messed up the molding. I have a feeling there's going to be quite a few firmware updates. Edited November 26, 2023 by Lauren Tyler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jeremiahjt Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 On the bright side, the manuals for Breakout and Moon Patrol are now correct. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah see this might be why I didn’t think there was an issue with the labelling, but I think I noticed that there’s also zero consistency in how they are used: some say B for normal play and some use that as the hard setting. Honestly why have these switches at all when game carts can have multiple game modes? re: instructions, I print off the PDFs and keep them in a big tabbed file folder near my carts. I suppose it’s not necessary given I have the PDFs, but using physical carts to play games it feels like I should be leafing through literal pages of instructions too!
