PSA: It looks like the long rumored update to the VCS OS has finally hit! It took me about 10 minutes to get through the update cycle.
No release notes yet, but there are some obvious changes to the font and brightness and volume control on exit & in the system menu.
-
I had a new unit and can confirm this fixes the new user update issue/experience. From stock BIOS to fully updated in 26 minutes!
This is great news for new users.

Pretty cool! Maybe we'll see Jaguar Bubsy and the M-Network titles?!

Looks like Steeplechase may be included, I don't know many Atari games that have a horse.

Love it, or hate it... I've had THE BEST TIME going through my carts on the 2600+ this weekend.

I’m not the right demographic for the 2600+ (because I don’t have anything that takes HDMI anymore), but I still think it looks pretty awesome. Glad you’re having a good time with it.

I had election day off so I spent some time in PC-MODE via Steam. System Shock remake, Poosh XL, Space Giraffe, Lunar Lander Beyond, Void Prison, Polybius, Moose Life.
My 8GB stock VCS choked on LLB, System Shock, Polybius and Moose Life; Poosh XL, Void Prison and Space Giraffe worked fine. My 16GB VCS ran LLB, Polybius and Moose Life fine. System Shock ran decently in the low settings.

I have 32GB that I haven't installed yet in my Onyx. May do that to see if System Shock can run in higher settings with the added memory.
I also wonder if Windows performance on the stock 8GB VCS would work better from the M2 instead of a USB stick.
I've never bothered with reFind because I spend 95% of my time in AtariOS.

One of the best things about the first week of November is that the annual edition of General Mills' Monster Cereal is 75% off. #iykyk

Playing Yars' Revenge (2011) on Steam via the Atari VCS in PC-Mode using a bootable thumb drive with Windows 11. This game was only released on PC and XBOX 360. The stock 8GB VCS handled it easily after some legacy driver updates, even while recording.

How does the game play overall? I'm still wary of playing those "early" Atari remakes compared to the current stuff...

@MistaMaddog - It's a decent on-rails shooter for what it is but has very little connection to the original. I like the art style and the static scenes used to deepen the lore. In terms of gameplay, it owes a lot to Panzer Dragoon and also put me in mind of Elemental Gearbolt for some reason. It's definitely a fun pick-up & play experience and worth a look. Just don't expect it to feel like HSW's Yars'. For that, the Recharged series version is a better choice.

ICYMI: This month we're celebrating 30 years of the Atari Jaguar with a special cross-platform Tempest 2000 Recharged Squad Challenge!
Play the game on Atari 50, BigPEmu or on original hardware!

I have next Thurs/Fri off, so I'm going to spend some time with this and Yars' then. Thank you for the reminder!

It works! Thanks.

It still works!
Be aware that the code is cap sensitive. I initially entered all the letters in lower case because I couldn't be bothered to turn on all caps 😂 and it didn't work.

Going through my boxed 7800 games to confirm gaps in the retail library. I have six left but they are the $$$ ones.
Here's also some loose oddball, repros, and homebrew from before they came with boxes. I'll have to get these from Marc eventually.

Playing some 2600 and 7800 homebrew on the modern VCS this weekend.
For all of the concern about Atari using the community to make money, the split is something like 80/20 to the devs and 90/10 if it's exclusive to the VCS. It's apparently the most generous split in the industry for a digital store.

Wherever you are, I hope that you're enjoying a safe and happy Labor Day holiday!
