Sabertooth Posted November 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) That's interesting @TrekMD. My email says shipping Friday and to confirm my by tomorrow. Did you order from Atari directly?! Edited November 14, 2023 by Sabertooth Smell Dawg and sramirez2008 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted November 14, 2023 Report Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) That's what happens when you read too fast. That's the same message I got. 🙂 Edited November 15, 2023 by TrekMD Sabertooth 1 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted November 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 I got my shipping confirmation. It looks like the distribution warehouse is 40 miles away, so hopefully I get it tomorrow or Monday. I'd happily drive there, even in L.A. traffic. 🤣 Amis, Smell Dawg and sramirez2008 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Stilphen Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 On 9/26/2023 at 3:09 PM, Sabertooth said: Here's my use case for the 2600+. On certain games, particularly GCC titles, I lose signal on my HD sets. This is on about 10 different 2600 and 7800 consoles on two 4K sets. All accessible processing on the TV is turned off. The Retron77 mostly worked for this but is incompatible with certain legacy carts, homebrew, the XP line and 7800 carts. While I would have preferred an FPGA solution for homebrew/SD cart compatibility, I appreciate the effort here. I'm not sure the 2600+ will be any better: "The 2600+ outputs a 720P signal. Although it seems this isn't quite a standard 720P signal as my TV takes a second or two to lock in and show the output. Also, my capture device in the game room usually has no issue with 480P, 720P, and 1080P sources. But it does NOT like the 720P from the 2600+ and stays in pass through mode. So I'm not currently able to get any direct captures from the 2600+ output." The 2600+ also has its share of issues running certain legacy carts - both VCS and 7800, and the version of the Prosystem 7800 emulator is apparently at least 14 years old and won't run any hacks or homebrews.

Sabertooth Posted January 6 Author Report Share Posted January 6 A very cool interview with Ben Jones of Plaion on the development of the 2600+. The interview starts at 43:08. Interesting insights here. Justin, Smell Dawg, Cryptocoffee13 and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabertooth Posted January 29 Author Report Share Posted January 29 Two nuggets from the AA thread. These will apparently have manuals. Also, one game was held back from the announcement as its being "Enhanced." Justin, Smell Dawg and RickR 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
