Nov 24, 2019 Atari Flashback Portable Hack The Atari Flashback brand is a series of dedicatedhome video game consoles designed, produced, published and marketed by Atari, Inc. From 2004 to 2011. Since 2011, the consoles have been designed, produced, published and marketed by AtGames under license from Atari. I have had some requests asking how to add roms to the Atari Flashback Portable. In this video I go over how I do it, others may do it differently but the e. #AtGames #AtariFlashback #Flashback9Adding ROMs To AtGames Atari Flashback 9 HD, 1,121 GAMES! - EmceemurIn this video, we will add tons of Atari ROMs to an S. Atari Flashback 7 Deluxe (2016) Contains the same games as the standard version, but also includes paddles. AtGames also sold these separately.

Other similar Atari games[edit]

Jakks Pacific produced a 2600 style joystick and paddle controller, each with several different 2600 games. I think both were based on a NES on a chip. There aren't Wikipedia articles on either one, but if there were, they would be good links for the See Also section.

Both were based on an NES on a chip? I thought the Atari Flashback 2 was based on Atari 2600 technology with built in games. I read on an Atari 2600 authoritative site that you can open it up, smolder a cartridge input device into it, and play actual Atari 2600 cartridges! Too bad it isn't officially built in. 76.200.114.235 (talk) 20:47, 2 January 2011 (UTC) Bobby Powell

You missread. He stated the two Jakks Pacific plug and plays (one that looks like a single joystick, the other that looks like paddle controllers) were based on NES on a chips. Didn't say the Flashback 2 was. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 08:21, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

The company that makes Flashback 3 under Atari's license is AtGames, not AT Games. The company's website is www.atgames.net Hsiungpk (talk) 00:37, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Sixth/seventh generation?[edit]

The infoboxes say the Flashback consoles are Sixth generation era and Seventh generation era. While they might have been released in the 2000s, they are merely remakes of their respective Atari consoles. Beyond that, they really don't resemble Nintendo/Sony/MS consoles released during the same time in any way. Should this be changed? _scootey^talk 03:39, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Modern hardware and releases, by standards here these plug and plays get covered under whatever current generation at the time of release. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 19:04, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Why? These repackaged Atari 2600/7800 boxes have nothing at all to do with the current generation of console hardware. 71.206.70.125 (talk) 20:17, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Chronological v's technological generation[edit]

Hi there,

I understand that there are two uses of the word 'generation', one of which simply refers to which datespan within which a console was released. This useage of the word is redundant here, as there is already a field in the infobox called 'Retail availability' that convers that aspect of the consoles. Therefore it is redundant to use another field which is ultimately derived from this.

Therefore the only useful purpose of the 'Generation' field is to describe the technologal generation.

You're mistaken however. A) Only the Flashback 2 and 2+ are based on 2600 on a chip, and even then they include additional modern chips for major functionality as well (the entire menuing chip is based off of Gizmo, a custom modern chip). b) All the later Flashbacks (3 and 4) are based off modern hardware running emulators. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 17:57, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Flashback 5 coming in the fall 2014[edit]

Flashback Portable Deluxe?[edit]

Other than being packed in a much larger box, what's different with the Flashback Portable Deluxe? Bizzybody (talk) 04:13, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

Duplicate article[edit]

I'm not sure how it happened, but there was a second copy of this article at Atari Flashback, [1]. I've redirected it, but it would be good if someone could double-check that nothing got lost here. Pinging the editors from the other article's history: @Maxeto0910, MarnetteD, Tony1, and Dgpop:. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 21:23, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

Hmmm Mike Peel. As far as I can tell it happened when I activated GreenC bot to look for bare urls. I haven't seen it remove a redirect before so I'll ping GreenC to take a look at this. I think your redirect is okay though others who deal with them more often might find something I've missed. You could post a link to this thread at the WP:VPT to get other eyes on the situation. Thanks for your vigilance in dealing with this MP. MarnetteD|Talk 21:58, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

GC has explained what happened here User talk:GreenC#Greenbot issue for anyone who is interested. MarnetteD|Talk 22:39, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

Flashback 4/Jungle Hunt version[edit]

The section 'Atari Flashback 4' states that the installed version of 'Jungle Hunt' is 'not the original 2600 version'. For me, it looks just like the origibal 2600 version. I found a footage of the version in a YouTube video (9.20 to 11.40): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dkd26FvsHLM&t=555s -- Maxeto0910 (talk) 07:05, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Seems like there is also a 2019 model of the Atari Flashback portable: https://www.atgames.us/collections/productline/products/atari-flashback-portable-2019 -- Maxeto0910 (talk) 08:29, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

There is another product line in the Atari Flashback series not mentioned in this article, the Atari Flashback Blast: https://www.atgames.us/collections/productline?page=2 -- Maxeto0910 (talk) 08:32, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Atari Flashback Classics[edit]

Maybe we should also write about the Atari Flashback Classics games in this article, since they also belong to the Atari Flashback brand.-- Maxeto0910 (talk) 08:44, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
