+Fred_M Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Just an idea.... Why not make 1 large thread in 1 of the forums. There are now threads in the Atari News forum, the 2600+ forum and the 7800 forum. I see so many questions that already have been answered in the other threads.

It will need it's own 7800 Plus forum like the 2600 Plus soon anyway, so yeah, that should be made right now.

Yeah of course it works on a OG Caveat! That is an assumption though, I haven't actually tried it myself. I did test the USB dongle in my PC, plugged it in and it was instantly recognised by windows, the CX78+w played retro games on my PC sweet. 5 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/371209-atari-7800-announced-along-with-10-new-games-and-2-new-controllers/page/6/#findComment-5519314 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not what I mean. For example the question if the new wireless controllers are also working on original hardware has already been answered. I saw questions about the pack in game, the cartridge sleeves and so on in the 3 threads.

Dionoid Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 (edited) @Ben from Plaion Maybe this was already asked, but will the new 7800+ be the same size as the original 7800, or is it scaled to 80%, just like the 2600+?

JetmanUK Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 2 minutes ago, Albert said: Yeah, not sure what I'm going to do yet. ..Al It does seem that Atari is marketing both machines under the banner of Atari + Platform. So perhaps an Atari + Platform forum that is actually the 2600 Plus forum renamed, so all current content is in there and all new 2600/7800 Plus topics join it in one place. An option anyway. 7 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/371209-atari-7800-announced-along-with-10-new-games-and-2-new-controllers/page/6/#findComment-5519377 Share on other sites More sharing options...
