Some very clever people have added cartridge ports to the Flashback 2. Yes, since it’s mimicking the real hardware, you CAN use the original games.

Well I have prototype PCB designs of an "Atari flashback" Doesn't use an asic Actually has a full 6502, and some hardware exploits using the 6502 instead of 6507, and has a display coprocessor similar to antic but with support for display list that can perform memory operations 18x faster than CPU Using the hardware black magic and glue logic you should run stock 2k and 4k ROMs fine Don't need none of of 2600 bankswitch trickery with r/w and a12-a15 Up to 128k of ram and ay8930 mixed with tia for stereo audio that can beat a c64 Effectively an Atari 2600 designed to make sense when you program it to the average noob All them want framebuffers and bitmaps need memory and shit.... I haven't checked bom list You can make asic repros of tia so it can be cheaper If you use real c010444d you talking over 100 per unit However you can fit the expansion circuitry on a daughter board and if you have a socketed 2600 you can remove the 6507 and plug the board in, plug ram, 6502, cpld and sram

None of these Atari consoles were ever worth it to me because my favorite games where Spider-Man and Superman because I’m a huge comic book nerd and Gremlins. But because those were all licensed games they can’t include them on any of these newer consoles because they’d have to get the rights.

I bought those first two back in 2004 and 2005. Flashback 1 was a big disappointment to me for those non emulation issues, especially the 7800 ports. Flashback 2 was fine and the two unlocked paddle games played great too. Although the flashback 2 joysticks were not authentic and the sticks would always unscrew loose gradually during normal game play. I eventually traded both of them away as I started building up my retro collection again in the late 00’s. I never bought another flashback after that.

I was a long time friend and colleague of Curt Vendel, who was Legacy Engineering, and Westchester Technologies. He passed away in 2020. He developed the first two Flashbacks for Atari. The first Flashback, was an NES on a Chip (we call them NOACs), with the software development happening via a small contract team in Japan. Curt wasn't very happy with the design (it wasn't his choice, the turn-around had to be extremely quick.) and managed to convince Atari to fund the development of a complete implementation of 6507 + TIA + RIOT on a single ASIC. Atari agreed, and roughly half a million USD was funded into doing prototyping on FPGA, and ending up as a final mask on high speed CMOS process. Roughly a million chips were made in that run. (and yes, as others have noted, Curt left solder pads for a 24 pin edge connector, for a cartridge slot.) The success of the Flashback 1 and 2, lead to Atari tapping Curt for future projects (e.g. Guitar Hero, Kiss Edition), but after a tumultuous amount of drama with Atari management (they ran off with his guitar prototype and had a factory in China knock it off, without paying Curt), Curt declined further contract work, so the future Flashbacks were done as emulations, as Atari did not want to finance another run of ASICs. Don't ever do work for the toy industry, fellas. Curt was one of the last of a dying breed. He had no problem digging down into gate level design when needed, and knew exactly how to make a million of something. None of the current generation of engineers can do what he did, and that's why all of these later Flashbacks are just emulators on garden variety ARM boards you can pluck off a shelf in Shenzen.

I can't quite agree vis-à-vis real hardware, but only as it compares to emulators done properly. If it's a lazy job, then yeah, an emulator will always suck by comparison, but if done well, you get extra features. Higher quality displays, more input options, save states and rewinding. Real hardware can't compete with that.
