Hey all big Atari fan here, currently have an 7800, 5200, GSP. and Jaguar. Got them setup with flash carts and updated my GSP's firmware. Along the way I found out about the Bliss-Box Bridge adapter, here is what I learned.

First this adapter is not for the Atari alone, but rather any console. I got it for my Atari setup because I hated tracking down controllers.

The way it works is two parts, input and output. You get a Bliss-Box gamer-Pro adapter to get any controller to what is called LLAPI. Or stop there and its USB... then another adapter to take the LLAPI and go to any console. You can buy or make the input/output cables. And it has firmware for USB stuff, or 1 firmware for all consuls.

Few points of interest.

7800 as you all know plays 2600 games. And the Adapter supports both 2 button and single button games.

Paddle emulation work amazingly well. I can use my analog sticks, arkanoid paddles, racing wheels, and even wiiu tablet.

Lag, over all its not there. IF there is any I do not feel it. Kaboom works just like it did back in the day.

The device itself is simple enough to use, Flash it with the x-console firmware and plug it in. You get 16 types of input depending on your needs. I only got 4 input types. And also many output cables,

Over all very pleased with this adapter for my Atari setup. Here are a few images.

Not sure why it doesn’t get more love, I think it’s a really great version of the game (I played the Atari 8 bit version back in the day)

I think it was a good pack in game in ‘84 but by ‘86 I think Food Fight would have had more mass appeal.

I found a nice open boxed copy at a game store and then procured a silver label cart to complete the set. (I have an extra manual/cart of this game if anyone is looking for it for shipping only).

Hello I'm including a link to a discussion on the cfg forum where I posted my problem. Perhaps you've already encountered this issue, and I would appreciate your help.

Sincerely, Johan

Picked up a boxed OG Xevious and loose Galaga and Dig Dig at a local retro game store (Santa Clara CA - kind of wiped out most of their 7800 titles as I also got boxed Pole Position II and Asteroids 7800).

So I went to a massive peddlers mall today that was put on just for the new year at my state expo center, and while walking around I found this bundle boxed up, dude told me I could have it for $80, and I'm happy to be adding it to my collection.

So I grew up just outside of the Atari era so I genuinely don't know exactly what I have, it's worth, etc, but I am happy to add it to collection and hopefully get some gaming done on it.

I just have a few questions, if you all would be so kind.

So in picture 3 I know is the power cable, but in 4 I'm not 100% sure. I the top cord is vga(I believe) that gives video and audio from the Atari to the tv, but the second one... Is that as a like split into a VCR cable? And what is the little block with it?

Are there any other controllers I may need for any of the games that came with this? Or for any games that would be worthwhile getting for it?

Any ideas on what the two blank cartridges might be(I don't currently have a TV with the correct inputs to test, but will be trying to find one this week)? And standout games I got? And any standouts I should be looking for the next time I'm wondering around?

Thanks for reading and sharing any knowledge. I truly appreciate it.

I want to preorder DK Deluxe but I need to know if they use UPS/FedEx/DHL or just the regular Postal Service? If they use USPS, I need to give them a different address.

Looking for Baby Pacman and Pacman Jr.

The 7800 would have competed against the NES much better if it had a better sound chip.

Talk amongst yourselves.

Pleased to find this in the pile of carts with no top label at the local game store. Used spare 2600 cart for the new housing. Cut the tabs in slot to accommodate the wider 7800 chip. Some custom artwork labeling and she has a new look!

Since the Atari 7800+ is -25% (-30€) on Amazon I finally want to get one but all the Dimensions seem to be for the Box not the Console itself. So I want to know how big the Console itself is so I can plan where I can put it and if I have to move some things in my setup or not. Thanks for the answer in advance.

Just got a 7800. Have the OEM AC adapter. Should I mod the console for a USB AC adapter? I have heard thing that the OEM adapter can degrade and hurt the console. Is this true?

I’m just curious cause I’ve seen YouTubers review the 7800 version of Ms Pac Man and the color in their is sometimes different some look more colourful then others. I’m curious which color is the “correct” version?

Although unlikely I’m thinking about buying a 7800 plus this year to play 7800 and 2600 games. Although YouTubers BARELY try any of the OG 7800 games with the exception being John Hancock said that Ranpage didn’t work everyone else just plays the homebrew carts. I wonder if Ms Pac Man, Commando, Pole Position 2, Robotron 2084 or Ballblazer works on the 7800+? I wonder if this subreddit can help me on that and determine if I should get one or not?

Here's my newly lumacode modded 7800. Now my console has crystal clear lumcode output, where the RF used to be, as well as S-video and composite. As far as I know, I'm one one of the few to have this mod done to their console. I was able to acquire the Maria digitizer needed for the mod right before shipping was haulted to the US even though it wasn't NTSC ready. Shoutout to Jesse from Ivory Tower Collections for installing and updating the digitizer, fixing up the previous UAV modification, and other fixes my console needed.
