Retro Atari Flashback 8 Gold HD (Electronic Games)

Product Information

Then tried other various combinations, with one showing a message with it dumping the final partition: screen and one featuring Centipede. AtGames decided to finally make a portable version, based on the same handheld system they had been using for their Genesis portable: I don't have a problem with homebrew titles, but considering your average buyer isn't going to recognize any of them, 1 or 2 would have been plenty here. I just can't understand that out of all the great homebrews out there (and there's plenty), the only known/credible title included was Atari Climber, an updated version of Dennis Debro's Climber 5 game from the year before. It's actually a port of an Atari 8-bit computer game written by As to box art, you need to add two files for each custom rom using a simple naming convention. For example, if you added a rom call "AirRaiders.a26" then you would need a large box art file called "AirRaiders.a26.png" with a resolution of 211x290 and a smaller thumbnail version called "AirRaiders.a26.s.png" with a resolution of 122x168. You'll see this convention used everywhere in the /rom folder, and I have not tested ignoring it or using different image sizes. Both files are 24-bit color (8-bit RGB) PNG files, easy to export from GIMP or something.

When adding new roms to the /rom folder the file naming conventions are the same as for the existing SD card firmware: file names can't have spaces and extension must be .a26 One tip, if you are using an old or slow USB thumb drive (like USB 2.0), you may need to wait a few minutes to allow write operations to complete when first allowing the CFW to dump files, so be patient. Soon I will post how to run a custom script or export and run the emulator from the SD card. Then you can customize UI graphics and music if you want to. Removing Pitfall! and River Raid made sense as, being 3rd-party games, they never belonged on this anyway.

After completing Steps 2 & 3 (when it completes the boot up and the menu displays), I take the SD card out and look at it on my computer. 1st reboot there were no roms files or folder at all on the SD card, 2nd reboot just the titles each at 0k in size, 3rd try only a few titles fully copied over, 4th try no all-games.ini (no games displayed on the console menu), etc. Was I not waiting long enough to copy? Does this process completely happen all during the AtGames bootup (which takes about 7 seconds) or does it take longer? Anyway, it eventually all copied over. Joekun Like many of the games people have been bringing up here in the comments, that's from a different Atari and is another Atari Games release. So it's a Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment property and doesn't belong to the publisher of this collection, Atari SA. games, whereas the released versions used the NES versions (see below). In other words, these Blast! systems are being deceptively marketed.

The subjects of the documentaries in Atari 50 will tell you about the classics: Star Raiders, Tempest 2000, Yars’ Revenge, and Warlords (four player!) are all very playable and presented well in this collection. But here are some weird and wonderful games you might not have thought to try, or simply couldn’t before now:

Additionally, I changed the box art for the FB9 versions of Frogger and Space Invaders. The FB9 uses the original 2600 box art, but I wanted to use them for the newly loaded 2600 roms. The attached "frogger-spaceinaders.zip" swaps out the FB9 art for new box art utilizing their original Arcade flyers, but have been named the way they were in the original ini file. The 2600 versions (in the "arcade_collection.zip") are titled "Frogger2600" and "SpaceInvaders2600". In the zip archive you will find an atari_update.img file. You can follow the AtGames official firmware instructions to load this firmware image using the same desktop flashing tools. Also of note and probably mentioned elsewhere, the basic support for a /Games folder for .a26 files on a USB device is supported by the new units right out of the box. Would you like to share your ini file entries? I was thinking about maybe hosting entries and also maybe box art in a Google Drive folder or something.
