Status as of 12/23/2010 Beta testers have the current prototype in hand for play testing. If everything continues to go well a final prototype, another round of final testing, and then a production run will follow in the next month or two. There is a thread at AtariAge about this as well: http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/17 ... ct-update/ Steve |

Just bought the Atari 5200 Ultimate SD Cart. I have owned my Atari 5200 for decades having bought the four port brand new back in the day. Looking forward to trying out all the Atari 8 bit computer conversions! |

The Cart came in back in September, finally posted this Reply. All games easily installed to SD Card without need of any specialty PC drivers; a much better route vs a flash cart. I set the games to multiple folders keeping the original names that include info such as XL conversion and dates game produced. I created another folder for all games verified working renaming them to just the actual game title. The SD Cart Manual recommended keeping a folder under 100 files and turn off directory alphabetical sorting if a huge list. I saw no issue, my directory is at 135 files and loads quick with the directory sort enabled. Perhaps the shortened file names to just game titles speeded up the sort process? Thank you for still supporting the Atari Max 5200 Ultimate SD cart! Though a niche customer base, the cart is the best way to discover so many obscure homebrews and converted from Atari computer games. Anyone who owns or might eventually buy an Atari 5200 console really should buy this cart today! |
