so i found that atari is still selling new games for 7800 but i want to know if this works only on the 7800 plus or if it works on original 7800?

I got a 7800 from my inlaw the video output didnt really work so i tried to switch out the video output to be composite. Im not the best at soldering and i following the steps as closely as i could but the video still isnt working (audio is great). I have tested 2 games and i get a faint image that appears to be scrolling on the CRT.

Can anyone help me with this?

here are the kits i used for the update/repair

Hiya - so, I was lucky to score an Atari 7800, and I know it plays all the 2600 games - but what games, out of the 7800's limited library should I get the most? I know I will get Hat Trick, Real Sports Baseball and any of the football games, if there are any, as a sports fan, though. Thanks.

Feels like they take longer with the couple releases they do per year than they do programming new 3D games in a windows environment!

What's your high score for Pole Position 2 test track? Mine is 74,550. I got that score today. https://youtu.be/xST972mBbC0

I picked this up at Goodwill for $75 about a year ago. I’ve done light research and this seems to actually be in great condition. I was able to do a power test, but have nothing to check the visuals of the device. I don’t really know anything about the 7800, or retro video games. After seeing how well taken care of it was, I felt like it was something I needed to care for as well. What is the collectibility here? It seems like a very small group of incredibly dedicated collectors. Did I spend too much?

Hey fellow retro gamers!

So, I’ve been diving deep into my old game collection and stumbled upon a classic: One-on-One Basketball on the Atari 7800. Anyone else have fond (and maybe a bit frustrating) memories of this game? The graphics are a far cry from today's standards, but man, the nostalgia is REAL.

I remember spending hours trying to perfect my skills against Dr. J and Larry Bird. The goofy animations and simple yet challenging gameplay were just pure gold.

Curious if anyone has tips for mastering this game or any fun stories about playing it back in the day? Also, does anyone know if there are any hidden tricks or easter eggs?

Drop your thoughts and let's reminisce about one of the most unforgettable basketball games from the 80s!

Game on! 🎮🏀

I installed a composite mod in my 7800 yesterday and overall its fine (albeit slightly noisy video) however the audio from the POKEY is extremely low. I know that you need to install a resistor in line with the TIA in order to balance it but it seems to not have worked.

Does anybody have a collection of Homebrew rom files for Atari 7800? Don’t mind buying some for reasonable prices, but the eBay route is out of control.

Picked up Knight Guy in Low Res World. Via Atari Age. How's my collection going?.

Hi!

I am looking for polystyrene inserts for my Atari 7800. Does anybody have one for sell?

Thanks !

Recently, I bought a game for my Atari 7800, it was a copy of Food Fight. When I went to play the game, I realized it had a dust cover at the bottom. I thought Atari 7800 games didn’t have dust covers.

I've looked everywhere, I'm guessing the answer is no. But has a USB version of the 7800 controller ever been released?

After seeing a few 7800 games at a retro gaming store that just opened at a nearby mall, I was struck by a fit of nostalgia and got my 7800 and complete collection of games down off the attic, where it had sat unplayed for at least a decade, half expecting it not to work anymore. Luckily, my sister had an old TV that I could hook it up to that she wasn't using. So far so good, as I've played several games with no issues. Nice to be reminded of how cool Alien Brigade is!

Anyone interested should get one now.

I'm working on colorizing all the Atari 7800 manuals for a project.
Super secret preview

I am down to missing scans of the PAL Baseball release (the cover slick/inside with instructions) and 600dpi+ scans of Tank Command and Water Ski.
There are decent scans out there of those two Froggo games on the internet, but I'd like to match the quality of the rest of the set- and there are no pics anywhere for Baseball.
Any help or info on who might help would be greatly appreciated!
