Well, it will execute 5200 ROMs... but it doesn't currently do a very good job of converting 8-way digital into analog input. Maybe they'll fix it in a firmware update, but for now you have to run the 8-bit version of most such games.
the remarks about the compatibility of this mini by almost all reviewers are puzzling. "it can't play 2600, 7800 and st games". Its a replica of an Atari 8bit machine...who is expecting from this mini to run games of irrelevant systems from the factory?
The reason everyone talks about this it because the current trend in minis, especially from Retro Games and Atari. The 400 Mini is natively compatible with other systems like Atari 5200 and 800. The A500 Mini can play Amiga 500, 600, 1200 and CD32 games. The Vic20 also plays C64 games. And the Atari GameStation Pro can play games from Atari 2600, 5200, 7800 and then non Atari systems like Mega Drive and Super Nintendo. All of these ran these systems straight from the factory.
Good video. Very useful information. You've convinced me to buy it.
Hey that’s great. I’m glad it was useful for you. Hope you enjoy your 400 Mini. I’ve really enjoyed mine so far 😄
Erneut eine sehr gelungene Sendung zu einem sehr gelungenen Heft. 👍😉
"Yoomp" is how one would read "jump" phonetically in Polish (the game was written by Polish guys).
I wonder if the Hyperkin Trooper 2 works. It's fantastic for PC emulation. 🤔
Another great Mini for the collection. One day I bet they release Mini minis
That would be great. I think a mini mini is a micro and the Sega Game Gear Micro was much too small. I think the next step is just an app

It's cute so chibi system, but i kinda prefer the c64 maxi, they should launch an atari 65XE Maxi, with functional keyboard
