Re: Atari 7800 Core
Just wanted to check in and find out if there are any plans to fix it so this will work with the Atari SNAC adapter for paddles and the other controllers. If not, how can I make this work with all my controllers? Do I need a different SNAC adapter, and if so, what is the pinout. Also looking forward to 2600 support. Thanks!

Re: Atari 7800 Core
Are there any paddle games native to the 7800? Or is it all just the 2600 games?

Yes. There are a ton of awesome homebrews. I am not sure how many are paddle games, but Arkanoid is one of them.

almost none. Super circus atari is the only one I know of out of hand. There a test rom made to test paddles too that uses them, it just shows a number.

Re: Atari 7800 Core
As far as I know Atari had already stopped producing paddles for some years when the 7800 finally launched. This made paddle games not attractive, even more as the majority of paddles for the 2600 were bundled with the system (at least in the US, in europe the paddles were never bundled with the 2600).

Re: Atari 7800 Core
Any ideas on when we might get an official update to this core and 2600 support with working SNAC capabilities using the Atari SNAC adapter? I am still using a pretty old unofficial 2600 core that works with SNAC, but it has several issues. I would love to get a 100% working core for 2600 and 7800 that supports native controllers including the paddles, driving controller and keypad for Star Raiders. Thanks!
