We all know the real reason. Why aren't they making installing any kind of homebrew patch void the warranty when that would solve the issue? The real reason is they know eventually there will be patches and updates coming that will enchance the c64u in ways that they won't be able to monetize, like for example the ability to simulate other platforms , but in the end it doesn't really matter every console that exists is jailbroken but you need to find a vulnerability first which will likely happen with the c64u eventually anyway.

@Kenoddis Considering they are advertising it as not emulation or FPGA replica I think maybe the guys who worked on the mister core understand the original consoles architecture better than anyone that doesn't mean they are using their core in this

@Atariboy came here to say exactly this. The flashback 2 was everything in the 2600 on one chip. I know the 3do is much more complicated but they are implying they reverse engineered the original chips and then made new ones but if its official couldn;t they just take the original chip and streamline them down to something smaller and more affordable. I guess what I;m saying is if you can do that with a c64 (in the case of the c64 stick) why not the 3do?

I picked up the Steam version which is really just a custom emulator playing a rom, but I play my shmups on my Powkiddy rgb20sx which has a great 4"x4" screen. I understand why people that collect og hardware and games would want the cartridge but I feel like if I paid for the Steam game why should I have to go threw hoops to get the rom (uncompress/decrypt...)?? I don't get the reasoning, because people that want the cart are gonna wait and if you are worried about losing sales to the people writing the rom to a flash cart then why wait all this time? As I can see from the comments bootleg cart versions are already making the rounds... anyway none of this takes anything away from the fact this game is awesome and one of if not the best shmups for the Genesis/Megadrive.

this is a hair trigger response to seeing "ai" and dismissing it out of hand. they are not using AI to indirectly steal another persons code or artwork or music by using other peoples work to create generic slop. This is just a way to speed up the tedious conversion of code from one platform to another which is the type of thing AI does well.

The blue one with the outline of Sonic is awesome and I'm sure somone with a lot more money to burn than me will buy it.

very very short, dialog is good and does seem very Alienish, sound fx will make a huge difference as far as building tension. Point and Click games aren't easy to pull off on consoles but this one has promise.

I play the Atari recharged games on my laptop and they are fun! If it can run those games and it has a paddle controller please Atari bring on Tempest 2000 and tempest 4000... those games are a no brainer!!!

Defectors sounds like it might be fun. One of my guilty pleasures is playing bezerk (or Krazy shootout on the 8bit atari, Frenzy on MAME etc). Those simple shooters ramp up the speed and put you in the zone.

this is what i don't understand. if you truly want to preserve this stuff then rip it and upload the roms to the usual places... problem solved. Am I missing something? If Sega sent this to be destroyed and it got out into the public, then they have every right to want that back.

I'd buy that paddle/spinner controller pad if it works with Windows/Linux and use it for Tempest 2000 and the other paddle/spinner games. If they sell it seperately i predict it will sell out in a week. I already have a retro linux handheld these things are low priced Linux based mini pc's. If you buy the right one, you can get a well built handheld with every game from atari up to psp/dreamcast/ps1/n64 era and spend about 60 bucks including shipping (plus the time it takes to put the roms on the sd cards..). Thats like getting 100,000 games for less than what it costs to fill your gas tank up. i dont think Atari's handheld is for people like me but more for the casual gamer or a great Christmas present for you dad, grandad etc.. who loves Atari. After all these years and changing hands Atari is finally giving people what they want.

I love the 2d Sonic games. I remember playing this game back in day, but this new PC version looks awesome. I wonder if they will get takedown notices from Sega for something like this I can't tell you how many recompilations and indie pc games are ruined by lackluster controller support in Windows. Meanwhile every emulator has perfect support for any type of USB or Bluetooth controller you throw at it.

I wish they would make an A1200 case with a cool upgraded fpga Amiga inside. I think despite there being more former c64 owners overall there is a bigger demand for a modernized Amiga. At least there are people that want one. I wonder if something like that is in the pipelilne.
