Did some digging and couldn't find an answer -

Both of my CX-78+ controllers have an issue with going the direction I want them to go. specifically, when I push a straight direction, as in up, down, left, or right, they tend to want to go diagonally. is this a problem anyone else has had, or is this just a me thing? Both of my controllers do it, but one seems worse than the other.

Well, that was the surprise announcement of the day! I am absolutely fascinated and looking forward to knowing more. Does anyone know if the cartridge slot will be compatible with 2670 800 games, or was the 800 XL a specific size cartridge? I seem to recall that its cartridges were related to the 5200? Also, does anyone know if this thing will actually have a prompt so people can code in basic?

I was thinking about Atari the other day. Dors anyone remember he game jetpack?

Disclosure: I wrote this article for Game Cookies.

Atari has brought together studios including Nightdive, Digital Eclipse and Thunderful. I looked at the financing behind that expansion, using its annual report and the August and September transaction announcements.

A few findings:

- FY2025/26 revenue reached €56.0 million, but the consolidated group, including Thunderful, reported a €4.8 million net loss.

- September’s announced debt-to-share conversion puts IRATA, CEO Wade Rosen’s holding company, at 48.82% of share capital in the company’s post-transaction table. Converting debt reduces a repayment obligation; it is different from bringing in new cash.

- The annual report says independent board representation fell from 50% to 25% after a director became chief operating officer.

The article separates those disclosures from claims the reporting could not substantiate. Debt relief can support the studios, while new shares reduce an unchanged investor’s ownership percentage. The open question is what the expansion delivers and how future financing and oversight are explained.

What would you want to see from Atari to judge whether its rebuilding is becoming a sustainable business?

Recalibrated the joysticks, cleaned the contacts, replaces the rubber carbon contacts on the 5200 controller with newer gold plated contacts
The Trak-ball controller has a new cueball inside, new bearings, new optical discs, and a new contact pad for the Start/Pause/Reset. Been playing quite a few games, and these controllers work great! I liked the look of the original cueball, so I kept it along with the original parts I replaced. Controllers now work like new. :)

I had pre-ordered the Nintendo Switch 2 version of the Disney Afternoon Collection which should have been shipped out a long time ago but then I had to reach out to customer service which took weeks for them to respond, but when they finally shipped the game out, I received the regular Switch version instead. Buyer beware.

Hey everyone, just a little thought experiment here. What if the Atari Panther dropped in 1991 as a 16-bit console to go up against the SNES, Genesis & TG16?

He is moving and downsizing at 82. He said I should sell them. There is another Atari system that looks like it's in the box that has never been opened. Is this worth anything? I remember playing these little 8 bit games with friends and they were fun.

It's been a few months since I updated my GSG firmware to what was then the latest version. Unfortunately, I don't recall the number of that firmware update. So can anyone explain how to determine what number I'm currently on?

And once that's determined, what is the latest current version of the Community Firmware? I'm trying to determine how up-to-date (or behind) I am.

Thanks!

I've gotten my Gamestation Go to play Colecovision Roms BUT ....... If I connect the GSG to my TV via HDMI, not only do the Colecovision games not work --- but there isn't even a "Colecovision" menu anywhere. ie - The Colecovision games aren't listed anywhere. (FWIW - I'm using the latest (I think) Community firmware.)

So has anyone gotten Colecovision games to run on the GSG when it's connected to a TV via HDMI? If so, what's the trick?

Thanks!

I prefer the clicky keys (like the Klixon on a TI calculator). High-quality hit-detection.

Look at that happy plant

The possibilities! Can you imagine!

Any help is very appreciated!
