The MINI400 (Atari400) by Retrogames - Does it still work? (Mini consoles)

Описание: #retrogames #400mini #atari

The THE 400 Mini is a half-sized, modern reimagining of the classic 1979 Atari 400 home computer, released in 2024 by Retro Games Ltd. It emulates Atari 8-bit computers and the Atari 5200 console, with HDMI output and USB ports in a compact retro-styled shell. That really looks the part.

Design: Miniature Atari 400 replica with HDMI output and 4 USB ports
Controller: Comes with a modern CXStick joystick with 7 function buttons
Games: Includes 25 built-in classics like Asteroids, M.U.L.E., Millipede, and Yoomp!
Extras: Save states, rewind feature, visual filters (CRT scanlines, bezels)

Software & Compatibility:
Load your own Atari 400/800/XL/XE and Atari 5200 ROMs from USB
Compatible with most USB controllers
Based on Libretro/atari800 core (some hardware limitations apply)

Pros: great design, accurate emulation, USB rom loading
Cons: price, limited number of games, the joystick might feel inaccurate to modern gamers, although good the 800core is not 100% hardware accurate

Target audiences:
Atari enthusiasts and fans of vintage microcomputing will appreciate its faithful styling and curated gameplay selection.
Curious collectors seeking easy access to lesser-known Atari 8‑bit titles without hunting down original hardware.
Casual gamers exploring retro titles—but full appreciation may come only with willingness to supplement the bundled games with personal ROM collections.
