Atari Flashback Portable

Atari Flashback Portable

The Atari Flashback Portable carries a SRP of $59.99 USD. Note that game compatibility through the SD card is limited, as are the types of SD cards the portable supports. It supports SD cards up to 8GB in size, like this one, and the folder where you store the .bin files must be named Game. If you find that your .bin files aren’t appearing, change the case of the file name to first letter capital, second letter lowercase, e.g., change SPCINVAD.BIN to Spcinvad.BIN.

TAITO's Egret II could be the perfect reference model for the upcoming Evercade Alpha.

What is the Evercade Alpha?

May 14, 2024

In late April, it was revealed that the Evercade VS-R Controller packaging indicated compatibility with an undisclosed device named Alpha, alongside existing consoles VS and VS-R. While the nature of Alpha remains speculative, suggestions lean towards an arcade-style device resembling the TAITO Egret II. This hypothetical unit would feature a rotatable built-in display and digital-only arcade controls, aiming for practicality and affordability with a potential price range of $129 - $149 USD. This aligns with Evercade's strategy of streamlined, cost-effective gaming products.

      I’m not aware of direct availability there, unfortunately. You might have to see if one of the online retailers will ship there, or maybe through eBay. There should be wider availability after the end of the month.

    Do you know if this device only plays Atari 2600 games, or can it handle Atari 8-bit games (i.e. Atari 400/800/XL/XE games)?

      It is strictly for Atari 2600 games. I should have my full review with additional details and videos posted within a few days.

    Why is Pac=Man or Ms. Pac-Man not included on these?

      Because those are Namco properties and require a separate license. The good news is that those games work via the SD card slot, so you’re good to go.

        Do you know how I can get the Pac-Man games onto the SD slot or do we purchase those?

          Sure. When you have time, read the review I posted, which provides links and tips on using an SD card.
