I know, not really “retro” per say, but maybe in spirit it is.
Id like to know if anyone here has one and what you’ve been using it for.
I use the built-in atari os when I want to play a game quickly and with no issues. I also installed mint on an external ssd for playing low power steam games and emulating ps1/ps2. I eventually wanted the VCS to be my media center pc and get rid of the horrible smart tv.
Biggest issue is wireless controllers in mint. In atari os they work great, so I wonder how atari made that work since its debian based.
It could be as complicated as a special kernel module that you don’t have access to or as simple as a udev rule you’re missing. You’d have to dig in to the Atari OS a little to see what’s going on.
