We stuck to that. Dr Karnov has been posting little bits of his tests with builds he's been getting. It's all just coming together now, particularly 7800 emulation and cartridge compatibility. So Asteroids Deluxe will work ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's now on the list of games I hadn't heard of but will try on an emulator and see if should pursue a cart purchase. Laser Gates is also in the post, somewhere. 🤣 I've not tried the others, but will do. Everyone, please share any lesser known gems that should be played/cart sought out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as Pac-Man clones go, I really like Jaw Breaker. Ikari Warriars (a pretty late release) is really good too. Both are working on my 2600+ 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLeaf Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 @Ben from Plaion Do you know if the phantom hyperspace issue in 7800 asteroids was addressed where some people, like myself, have reported random warps with no button press, using a 2 button controller? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know, I only have a limited number of carts here, and when I travel to the archive they have around 300 original carts, no homebrew. I would take a guess, looking at the patch notes though and say everything 7800 should be the best it can be, so we'll see soon if your reported glitch is fixed. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CORRECTION. There is something with how Attack of the PETSCII Robots loads that isn't compatible with 2600+, apologies for that. It works on the emulator side, but the dumper does not be able to access the HALT line, therefore we are unable to dump all of the necessary banks 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gsparis Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Hey guys, Merry Xmas to all ! I got my Atari 2600+ this morning and just saw my Circus Convoy cart will be working with it after a system update. Forgive me if my question looks stupid but how will the update be done ? Is there a way to connect the Atari 2600+ to the internet or to a computer to perform the update ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, you download the update file to your computer, plug the 2600+ into your system using the provided USB-C to USB-A cable, then somehow flash the file to the system. I'm sure Ben will have more specific instructions once they release the file. Edited December 25, 2023 by scifidude79 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
