Hopefully it's helpful info to anyone encountering download issues with Atari50. This is VERY helpful indeed. Thank you @Sabertooth and @Davpa. This explains a lot. I moved my VCS a while ago to a room in my home that's the furthest possible from my WiFi router. And I've had download issues a few times since. I think I'll move the VCS closer before I purchase Atari 50. THANKS! Sabertooth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabertooth Posted December 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Wondering which games have Classic Controller support in Atari 50? Classic Controller support is indicated by an icon in the Games Library. This is not viewable when selecting games via the timeline. Additionally, developer Digital Eclipse have shared some button mapping suggestions for games that have Classic Controller support. Sharing the pdf here.

RickR Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 That's awesome to have. Also, remind me what the VCS exclusive extra game is? Sabertooth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Circus Atari. So VCS adds are Classic Controller support and that game. RickR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 I'm enjoying it so far, but I need to spend a lot more time with it. I see it's kind of a documentary with games sprinkled in as you go. Really well done! I'm trying not to skip ahead to some of the goodies that come later (like Lynx and Jaguar games).

Sabertooth Posted December 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Yeah, it's definitely one that requires some time. There is so much cool content to explore. RickR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted December 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 I'd add that the VCS version is the first to get arcade dip switch options, 60 FPS mode for T2K and bug fixes not yet pushed to other platforms. RickR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 And a real "paddle" controller too. I've made it to "Breakout" and the updated version too. Both very fun. Sabertooth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted December 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 I think that Neo-Breakout is my favorite in the collection. Both the Breakout and Battle Breakout modes are excellent. RickR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted December 24, 2022 Report Share Posted December 24, 2022 I am now stuck on playing "Vectr Sectr". Holy cow this one is good. These would make some really great high-score challenge games! Sabertooth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Looks like an update is ready today...although I don't know if it applies to the VCS version.https://realotakugamer.com/atari-50-the-anniversary-celebration-update-out-now-patch-notes/87547/ Sabertooth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted January 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 @RickR - Because the VCS port was delayed, it included the patch at launch. This is why you see dip switch settings and options for analog controls and overclocking on Tempest 2000. RickR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabertooth Posted December 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2023 The FREE update is live on Atari 50! It includes 12 additional games - well, technically 11 for the VCS since we had Circus Atari at launch. Make sure you have space on your onboard memory for the download. You need 9GB to download and unpack the game. Unlike last year, the download and installation process was uneventful. Here's the breakdown: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/atari-50-the-anniversary-celebration-gets-a-few-more-forgotten-classics-today/1100-6519699/ TrekMD, Justin and RickR 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang it, only 8GB of free space for me. I added an 8GB USB drive and moved BPM Boy over to that. BOOM. The Atari50 update worked with no issues.
