Any mods to make it play all of the games?
Thank you!
That page doesn't talk about the 5200 at all, maybe there was a big change between them..
One of my favorite games was minor 2049er, I don't see it on their list either, maybe it was just a 5200 game.
Gotcha thanks, Do you think the ROMs were bigger also? 😂 If they've got firmware to let you play directly, without the cartridge, it would be nice to get the 5200 games. May already have them 🤔 just love this console look, and not in an arcade machine

2049er was also released on the 2600 so that will play. Atari also released a new game for the 7800 called Bounty Bob Strikes Back which is a sequal to miner 2049er. Its a really great game, Highly recommended. The pack-in Crystal Quest is great too. As others mentioned, 5200 carts are not compatible but 2600 and 7800 are.
Also note that firmware updates are available, but you need a windows computer for the update.
The problem with the 2600 version of minor 2049er if I remember correctly, it was terrible graphics, where the 5200 played and looked much better.. but I could be off in my 25 to 35 years 😆
I havent tried myself. Ive heard if you have a multi-cart you can load one game at a time one it and play roms that way. If you put more than one game on it, it will fail.

Yes, 2600 has the worst graphics with each later model having the benefit of more ram/rom available and getting a better look. Ive never owned a 5200, but the 7800 is comparable with the NES. The 2600 games mostly used 4kb of data. Its amazing there was anything to play with that amount of storage.
If i could post pictures of the two games I would. For what the game is the graphics doesnt bother me, the game play and challenge is what keeps me coming back.
If you really want to play these games there are free emulators out there, or you can spend $20 (cheaper if you hunt around) on the Atari collection on Steam, which I would argue is better since it comes with VCTR SCTR which is actually a pretty cool "new" retro game.

Don't buy this cash grab garbage just bc it has an HDMI port. if you just MUST, there are other Atari branded ones preloaded with all the roms for a little more on Amazon and elsewhere. Plus a ton of generic android things with roms.
