Also es tut sich was bei Atari
Im Januar werden ersten Bilder vom Flashback Portable veröffentlicht.
Hier die Fakten:
Model: FB2 Portable handheld
Screen: 2.5" TFT & backlit
Controller: 1 player joypad & fire button
USB connection (Mount of a storage drive - so PC, MAC, Linux could all access) to download BIN files
AV output: for TVOut, headphone type jack to connect a phono to RCA cable
Power: batteries & include external AC socket
Extras: CD-ROM of dev tools officially endorsed by Atari
Price: $39.99
Modding extras info:
1) There will be a micro 20 pin connector on the side of the unit to allow for hackers to create their own FB2 portable to Atari joysticks/paddles/trackballs/keypads dongle's, i.e., allow users to hook player 1 and 2 controllers to the unit - information on connector spec & part# would be provided so that dongles can be made - this will also allow 2 player capabilities and allow the system to be mod'd more easily.
2) Looking into bringing the cart pins up to an edge connector so that micro-formfactor type cards could be done by the h/w hacking community, though it really may not be needed since games will be easily d/l'd into the onboard storage and menu selected.
Ich persönlich hätte mich mehr über ein 7800 Handheld gefreut, aber das ist schon OK. Kaufen werde ich das Teil allemal.
