THX-1138 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 1 hour ago, Ben from Plaion said: I've had a final form 7800+ prototype with final PCBs and near final software in the hand for only a couple of days where I checked cart compatibility as well as both CX40+s, both CX78+s, and the paddles - they imo are better, less jitter and smoother movement. I checked the paddles then on a test program and the resolution was measuring in much smaller increments then on the 2600. So I was happy. Although I need more time and feedback from others that I sent prototypes to for them to test. Dumper and mainboard firmware were the latest from Raz0red. I haven't got any video keypads, driving controllers, trackballs here at home but I assume they just will work or will do in the shipped software. I'll confirm as soon as I know more. Do you want to borrow my Video Touch Pad? You're in the UK too, aren't you?

Brad_from_the_80s Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 39 minutes ago, JetmanUK said: 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. Although for new people looking for information I'm not sure how recognizable "Atari+" branding is ever going to be to help them find the right place, but it just seems these consoles are going to overlap so much in features and owners there should just be a common place to discuss news and info. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/371209-atari-7800-announced-along-with-10-new-games-and-2-new-controllers/page/7/#findComment-5519418 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

vagabondartist Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I’m so stoked for this. I ordered and added some other carts too. Such a great line the new Atari + line.
