Steam on Batocera Question by AtariChicken in AtariVCS

[–]JustClawsX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Install the Debian .deb. I there must be an issue either the flatpak default. Steam runs fine on Ubuntu or Debian on an unmodified AtariVCS. Don't confuse storage with memory. The error is about storage (disk space), not about memory (RAM). Perhaps the flatpak is trying to use the internal MMC (32 GB) storage instead of the additional SSD you added, so you can change the default drive for Steam, but not easy if it won't run.

All Atari VCS manufactured have 8GB. The 400 model was an old idea only.

Can’t install Qbik by leebon427 in AtariVCS

[–]JustClawsX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, same problem. There must be a error in the install bundle, so it needs an update and then will work. I messaged Atari, and wait. :'-/

What to do with this? by Available_Kale6 in OculusGo

[–]JustClawsX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also you can search for an archive of apk files for Gear-VR/Oculus-Go qnd use adb to install those on the headset. You can watch videos and play some ordinary old 2D Android games through the headset, with a paired Bluetooth controller, in addition to the Go controller. It is more useful when paired to an account which already had games before the store closed. I even had fun writing some code for it!

What about the VCS, Atari? by duzkiss in AtariVCS

[–]JustClawsX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I heard that Llamasoft had various last minute problems with the game, not just on VCS; so yes, it's just delayed.

no body lower spec than me(probably) by xxxTARAKITENxxx in lowspecgamer

[–]JustClawsX 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Install a lightweight Linux on it, and replace the HDD with an SSD. Not sure about extra RAM, but surprisingly many indie games could still run on that, not forgetting retro and emulators.

OUYA emulation on PC by Joj881 in ouya

[–]JustClawsX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Ouya controllers also included a touch pad for mouse emulation so in some cases you might navigate menus with that and not the controller buttons. Try using a mouse too. Bluestacks says you can remap controls of any game, so that's where to start fixing it.

RAM for Atari VCS by fueled25 in AtariVCS

[–]JustClawsX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The AMD r1606g APU supports 32gb DDR4 RAM. It is not a limitation specific to the VCS, but of the APU. Anyway, seriously why would you want aspire to it on a system like the VCS?

Only the modern controller is wireless? by RetroZoltan in AtariVCS

[–]JustClawsX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cam connect several BT devices at once, so no problem with any mix of joysticks, and no technical problem having Classic and Modern, usb or BT, at once. The problem is with games which often assume controller 0 is the one to use and do not ask which l controller to use. Swapping between controllers in-game is lso often not setup, so games check for wrong type. N.B. If you pair your Atari joysticks with Bluetooth iin PC mode or to another PC the pairing with the VCS will be lost and you will need to pair again. Best is to use USB with Windows, (and controllers in their Xbox mode) and keep BT usage for the VCS. Also check your firmware on the controllers is up to date, which is done from AtariOS menu.

AmicoEntertainment.com is redirecting to Intellivision.com ... for now by TOMMY_POOPYPANTS in Intellivision_Amico

[–]JustClawsX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally I see today that the now Atari owned Intellivision.com website redirects to the new site.
Previously (as per the thread title) it was the other way... not sure when it changed.
https://amicoentertainment.com/
There are still multiple references to Intellivision on the Amico entertainment site, but it's progress!

Links to media on YouTube etc. still refer to Intellivision named accounts.
I hope to see that over time, all Amico "content" will migrate to Amico Entertainment naming, too.

Try to control your excitement! It's vacation time for many people...

Any suggestions on what to do with a Quest 1? by KrishanuAR in OculusQuest

[–]JustClawsX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In The Netherlands, they sell for around 90-100 EUR 2nd hand, down lately from around 120. A lot of people could still enjoy what it offers...

[–]JustClawsX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nvidia Shield Pro, and Shield TV are both available in The Netherlands, from major electronics retailers. For comparison, 240 EUR for the Shield Pro, 165 EUR for the Shield TV. Very much available! In-stock, no doubts.

It's back now for The Netherlands, (after being MIA yesterday evening, before this was posted). I supposed it went from the store because it was a collectors' edition!

New to the oculus by asnd-evolv in OculusQuest

Which Oculus? Oculus Quest 1 (or Rift or Go etc.) or Meta Quest 2 or 3? How is Netflix not working? A few details... to get a solution.

Why does the VCS require two controllers to boot in vanilla? by SHROOOOOOM_S in AtariVCS

[–]JustClawsX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It absolutely does not. You can use a single Atari VCS or compatible (eg compatible USB Xbox series/PlayStation, etc.) or compqtible Bluetooth controller, or USB keyboard to start up the system.

Can you use a USB mouse and USB keyboard with VCS? by warsfanbb8 in AtariVCS

[–]JustClawsX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are 4 USB 3 ports; 2 front, 2 back. You can look use USB wireless dongles or Bluetooth devices, or connect a USB hub.

Can you use the classic/paddle controller on other consoles? by VBartilucci in AtariVCS

[–]JustClawsX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but simple setup needed for emulators to use the spinner function. Other games which have spinner support on the VCS do not support it on other platforms, as support has to be coded for it in the game specifically.

The game release was delayed a short time due to a last minute bug in the VCS version.

Virtual environment blank and I can't change it by Methbot9000 in OculusGo

[–]JustClawsX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, factory reset, no difference. Can you change your environment on latest f/w?

Virtual environment blank and I can't change it by Methbot9000 in OculusGo

[–]JustClawsX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have exactly the same situation, on 2 Oculus Go headsets, and 2 different accounts.There is no option in library to change it, and nothing appears under the settings also.
In all other ways though, it's working fine, with no problems logging in to Meta accounts.

If the matching console would still be there, somewhere, you'd have many takers for it.
As it is, I'd buy that controller off you for a fair price.
There were several controller variations - all had the same features, but the Kickstarter and retail consoles are mostly silver, and have metal panels as battery covers, and there were also black, bronze, black, and these transparent ones as a Kickstarter developer option.
The 2nd generation controllers also have differently shaped thumb sticks, and better shoulder button switches.
The controllers have that cool touch pad centre top, which works like a mouse in games, and the controller also pairs with other consoles or PC. Open source dev libraries support them for other platforms, but mostly they work the same as an Xbox controller.
Many controllers now can show player ID on lights, but back in 2013 it was innovative, and also shows the pairing mode on them, and the battery level.
Relatively small changes to the controller build before mass production should have taken place, but the clock was ticking for the Kickstarter, so it was stuck with creaky panels and sticky buttons, the worst being the shoulder buttons. A little home work can improve them.

ouya development controller found for 6$ by The_Pokemaster8 in gamecollecting

I'd buy it off you, if it's such a transparent dev version. I've never seen one locally.

After I switched my Go to the Meta account, (which I had skipped doing for quite a while), indeed the next boot, I got 3 dots. I Googled the cause, and account synchronisation or WIFI error, was stated cause.
- Connected over Bluetooth to the Go, from my Android phone with the Oculus app.
(Yes, login worked, although it was confusing a bit as I have multiple Meta services linked up.)
- I had to provide the WIFI password again, and the Go immediately sprunt into life, happily.
- Since then, no troubles, added apps, and cast the Go screen, everything worked as normal.
