I wouldn't want it in either style. They're both hideous. I'd be okay with a 7800esque one though.

I am guessing you are a fan or house. So am I.

What do you think of this design. The case for the Atari 5100

It's okay. It's a little too thick I think, and it's pretty boxy. I'd take it over the other 2.

also as a update he has said that it'd be switchable from NTSC to PAL on the composite output.

Well it is now after the 15th so with over 150 votes as Curt put it "Well, looks like we are going 3200 all the way, okay....

Well I'm going to get the CAD guy working and get things started.... the Controllers will be done short term, will have them made for direct DB9 connection use AND as the new "Classic 2" USB controllers for PC/Mac users.

On the controllers will be a slide switch for 2600/7800 mode for the RIGHT fire button... so in 2600 mode, using the Paddle, the fire button on paddles is actually joystick left) so in 2600 mode, that button would work for paddle games, in 7800 mode it would be the "B" button for 7800 games that require the extra button, like Xevious and others...

Well, I'll have the CAD files started and let that get started, need to get the final bugs hashed out on the CPLD for the 7800XM and get those bad boys shipping and out to everything, then I can more full time into the console and I'll be bringing in a close friend to help with the new FPGA design.


Curt "

I wonder when the controllers will be done, would not mind having those for my PC. I wonder how long this will take to get everything done and to start shipping out the consoles. Also looks like curt might be changing his companies name to Syzygy or working with the current company that is called Syzygy which " is still very much in business and has been using their brand name in commerce since 1993. Syzygy has some new games coming out soon inspired by 2-D retro classics and have that classic arcade feel to them, they're really expanding in that market. I played the Syzygy Pinball video game it was a lot of fun and really well done. There's also a new kind of Syzygy coin-op machine in the works that I can't talk about (maybe he's already contacted you about it I know Legacy was mentioned a few times before as a potential contractor because of the good work you did with the Awesome Arcades machines and the interface between the controls and the computer). Also, Syzygy has purchased media for a campaign that will place multiple full page ads in different newspapers and magazines like Wired Magazine and so forth, " Atari Joe.
Should be interesting to see how much this will cost. Can't wait to see the box and manuals seeing as the Atari 7800 expansion module had period correct box and manual from 1984.
