Nice work.

Will you have the beta at CGE?

Mitch

I just booked my flight to Vegas, so I'll bring my two prototypes to CGE. Note that right now it's only running in dev mode and we probably won't have a menu running by then, but you can at least see it running games. The proof-of-concept games are running, like POKEY, Pitfall II, and 7800 RAM stuff.

Hey great!

I'll look forward to seeing it in action.

Bring some Harmony carts with you to sell. Maybe you can sell enough to pay for your plane ticket.

I definitely will. So those of you who are going to the show but haven't bought one since I quit taking Paypal, now's your chance...

[Deteacher]

Any idea on a ballpark price that these may be selling for? I'm going to start saving my pennies now and I'd love to have a rough idea of what I'll need.

[batari]

Standard edition H2 will probably debut at about $99.

[eshu]

Will this be able to run 64k 2600 roms, specifically EFSC bankswitching?

I can't give a definite answer, I'll leave that for Batari, but I think it will probably be supported if there is a ROM out there that uses it.

H2 should be able to run 2600 or 7800 binaries up to around 512k. As for EFSC, I'm not aware of any games that use this, but it is certainly possible.

[gambler172]

Hi Batari
You say Standard edition,will there be another edition?
And will the H2 submit the new upcoming Expansion board games???
greetings Walter

[akator]

This is great news. The high cost of a second-hand CC2 left me hoping for an alternative for years. Who says wishes don't come true?

Any news about it ? The proto ran at the CGE ? I can't wait for this "holy graal" !

WOW! I will finally have a reason to pull my $5 7800 out of its storage bin

You keep $57,800 in a storage bin?!? (a bank would probably be safer)

[oldric]

Up ?

[Allpaul]

Count me in for one of these whenever it is available!

[Rex Dart]

Looks like it'll be the best $100 atari purchase since I got my 7800, neaaaato

[Madaracs]

Does the H2 go up for sale when the store comes back online "at the end of August?"

[batari]

I can say with complete confidence that it won't be ready by the end of the month

Well whenever they do get finished, I think you can safely assume that I'm in for one too!

[AtariNerd]

Ooooh, I'd be willing to get one of those! Me too! Me too!

[Jinks]

I would like one of these carts once they are produced, when they are produced will they be sold on the atariage store? Are you taking preorders for this?

[CongoZombie]

Cool, a reason for me to get into 7800 development

[Deteacher]

I better start building up my Paypal account for this one. I'll be getting on this train, for sure!

[Underball]

I'm REALLY looking forward to this.
