manufacturer's fault, not theirs, just as the manual errors are the printer's fault, not theirs. The fact that nobody did any serious play-testing for this, or that some serious Q/A issues existed in these areas aren't their fault, either. Apparently, nothing is their fault (just like nobody on the Titanic's crew was deemed responsible...). As before, the customizations are activated by the presence of the "mount_sd.ini" file in the root of your USB drive (yeah, I didn't bother renaming it). By default the custom firmware will dump the internal /rom partition from the device to your attached USB storage and then use the USB copy of /rom for game roms, box art and all-games.ini file. Atari 50’s emulation has some but not all of the common, modern improvements seen in many collections: A single save state has been added for each game, controls can be remapped, a pretty good CRT-like filter can be enabled, bezels recreate art and fill out the wide screen. But you cannot rewind these games or watch and manipulate a perfect playthrough like we saw in 2022’s Cowabunga Collection. I’m surprised, since those specific features have become standard in Digital Eclipse collections and I believe they should become universally expected – but I also don’t miss them here as much, due to the largely arcade-y nature of the game list (and that includes games beyond the arcade years, I think there’s an Asteroids and/or a Missile Command on every Atari platform, many included here). 6 Must-Play Games hpo Nexus pure is strictly limited to Atari content. "Pure Atari". Nexus 1.5.1 Slim has the Atari content plus more - mainly 8 and 16 bit era content, but mostly (maybe 95%) are games that can be played reasonably with a single action button. It is called "Slim" because there was an earlier build with a bunch of non-game media on it that made the upload too huge to manage. Examples: The slim build has a port of the excellent platform game VVVVVV on it in the Ports section. Cheril Perils Classic by the Mojon Twins (Mario-like game) is in the SG-1000 section. However, if you are an Atari purist, or just have a much better way to play non-Atari games, you might consider the pure version. Also MIA from the 7800 lineup of content that Atari SA owns clear title to (and which doesn't involve outside licenses) are Food Fight, Motor Psycho, and Planet Smashers.

a few title typos have crept in (Ex: Combat Two is spelled accurately onscreen, but as " Combat 2" in the manual). The poster shows 153 screenshots of different games, with 2 or more of the same game. One of them ( Frog Pond) shows the title screen from an earlier prototype version, which was actually included with the previous FB2/2+, instead of the final version). Removing Pitfall! and River Raid made sense as, being 3rd-party games, they never belonged on this anyway. Caverns of Mars was dreadful and Wizard was an unreleased, unfinished Curiously, the Space Invaders "new" (not the original 2600 one) menu item is blank and unplayable when the USB thumb drive is attached (using an older 4GB Toshiba) with the OTG cable, but once the drive is removed is appears and plays OK... 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 Atari Games continued to function as an independent entity until the early 1990's when Warner Communications, by then called Time Warner, reacquired majority ownership and stopped using the name.FULL DISCLOSURE: This CFW is for the GOLD 50th Anniversary Edition. I do not have a non-Gold unit to dump firmware or test with. If you have a non-Gold unit then this CFW will probably just turn it into a Gold edition without the included paddles. However, as always, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. I tested this briefly on my own AFB50 Gold, flashing the firmware and adding Pac-Man to the UI, and everything worked fine. But I have not tested any more than that as I still prefer my AFB9. 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:

Abbott, Benjamin; Bradley, Alan (2021-03-04). "Best retro game consoles 2021". GamesRadar . Retrieved 2021-05-05.Time will tell. While "Activision Anthology 2" is at the top of my mind when I think about the events going on at Activision in 2022, such a potential project is obviously a non-factor with what Microsoft is trying to do right now and isn't on anyone's radar at either management team. When Midway went bankrupt in the late 2000's, most of their IP was sold off to Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment (A homecoming of sorts for Atari Games). Thus all those 1984 and later arcade games that saw release under the Atari banner are owned by the same company known for the movie themed Lego videogames, the modern Batman games, etc. fundamentally flawed). John Champeau was asked (commissioned?) to program new versions of Caverns of Mars and Lunar Lander, but neither were included in the FB2s or FB 2+. There's little room at today's current Activision for such a classic compilation on consoles, but with the shakeup with the Microsoft acquisition, just maybe something positive like that will happen. 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.

This included installing Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) with Ubuntu, etc but then fell over trying to get GNOME going, dependencies with Python3, systemd dependencies breaking WSL2 etc. Got too hard at this stage for me.

Talk about feature creep gone amok (years later he repeated the same mistake with his 7800XM device). On top of everything, all the games are riddled with weird glitches, and the picture often jumps or rolls. Rather than waste my time covering each game in detail and your time reading it, I'll simply say none of them look, play, or sound like the games you remember growing up with. All the meticulously-crafted tweaking and adjustments the programmers put into the originals to make them great is gone. Instead, what we're
