  1. The one thing to watch for is the network card wires. It's very easy to pop them off when doing this install.
  2. Agree. Performance boost for added memory is negligible in AtariOS. If you're using it in PC-MODE, it may be worth it.
  3. 16,481 via Evercade Lynx Collection 1 while at a charging station. Handhelds and public charging are a great way to build gaming time into a busy schedule.
  4. Roasty Buds is a fun platformer, but it's also a delicious coffee! The Atari VCS tie-in no one saw coming!

  9. Very cool @sramirez2008! I'm very happy that you were selected for one of the VIP boxes.
  10. Thanks @RickR & @Justin! We're excited to welcome her home soon. Our toddler really likes standing at the cab with me while I play PacMania and Dig Dug. She asks me to play those two games specifically. I'm hoping it sticks.
  11. Yeah, "the toddler" is definitely the inspiration for the insert. She thinks it's HER room. LOL And we have another one due any day now.
  12. And the Jaguar bookcase with a door insert. I can't decide which I prefer... Insert? Or no Insert?
  13. I just updated my 2600+ to firmware 2.0.1.1 and the latest dumper. Paddle support on some games still shudders. This was supposedly addressed in hardware for the 7800+, so I'm looking forward to comparing the two. Here's the list of changes from AA.
