Nangona uninzi luhlala luthandabuza malunga nokuqaliswa kunye nempumelelo ye- entsha Atari VCS, abanye bayilindela ngomdla omkhulu. Ayisiyo enye ikhonsoli yomdlalo wevidiyo, kwaye ayisiyiyo kuphela kuba ivela kwi-Atari yasentsomini, kodwa ngenxa yokuba ijonge ukudibanisa eyona ilungileyo kwihlabathi langoku lokuzonwabisa kwidijithali kunye naleyo midlalo yevidiyo yakudala yathandwa ngabadlali ngelo xesha. Ikhonsoli yevintage yabathandi beeklasikhi kwaye eya kuthi ibe nezihloko ezitsha ezikhoyo kuyo.
Kodwa iingxaki ezininzi kunye nokulibaziseka okufunyanwa yiprojekthi khange kuzonwabise ezinye. Nangona kunjalo, kule projekthi kubonakala ngathi abaphuhlisi bayo bayaqhubeka nokuhambisa iindaba ezimnandi kunye nohlaziyo olubonisa ukuba lusempilweni, kwaye ukuba iphehlelisiwe kwaye iyimpumelelo iya kuba njalo uloyiso kwiLinux, kuba akuzange ngaphambili kubekho i-Linux-based game console ekuthethwe ngayo, ngaphandle kweValve's Steam Machine, kodwa sonke siyazazi iziphumo zentengiso yalo ... Kutshanje, i-Atari ipapashe ulwazi oluneenkcukacha malunga nombuzo wayo osemthethweni kunye nempendulo yeblogi. malunga ne-classic console. Ulwazi lubhalwe ngokukodwa ngu URob wyatt, omnye wabakhi benkqubo abasebenza ukwenza ukuba esi sixhobo seAtari VCS sibekho, kwaye ngubani owayengumyili wokuqala weXbox yeMicrosoft, ukuze igama livakale liqhelekile kuwe.
Ulwazi lubonisa ukuphuculwa okuthile, njengokuthatha isigqibo sokuphucula imemori ye-RAM ukusuka kwi-4GB ababecwangcise ngayo 8GB, ke ukusebenza kwehardware kuya kuphucula kwaye kuya kubakho ithuba lokuqhuba ngakumbi imidlalo yevidiyo yeAAA. Sele uyazi ukuba izakuhamba ngombulelo kwisiko le-AMD APU esekwe kulwakhiwo lweBristol Ridge kunye neRadeon R7 GPU yemizobo, eya kuthi yabelane ngenxalenye yezo 8GB kunye neCPU. I-25% yezixhobo zehardware ziya kugcinelwa inkqubo kwaye enye imidlalo.
Baye bacacisa ukuba kutheni bengakhange bakhethe i-AMD Ryzen, kwaye kungenxa yokuba oko kuya kuthetha ukonyuka kweendleko kunye nezizathu ze-thermal. Kwaye enye into ebaluleke kakhulu, wakuba umdlalo wevidiyo we-Atari VCS (AtariOS esekwe kwiLinux) yenziwe, kungekudala emva kokuba kwa umdlalo wevidiyo ofanayo okhoyo kwi-distros ye-GNU / Linux yesiqhelo (Enye indlela yemidlalo yevidiyo ye -OS) iyafumaneka kwiStam, GOG, nakwezinye iisayithi.
