Atari vcs arrives at indiegogo, some uninteresting specifications

Atari VCS is a retro console that has been talked about for many months, but of which very little is really known, until now the only confirmed thing was that its design is inspired by the Atari 2600 and that it works with an operating system based on on Linux.

Atari VCS is powered by an AMD pre-Ryen era processor, all the details of the new retro console

Pre-orders for Atari VCS have come IndieGoGo, starting at $ 199.99 for advance purchase, and $ 299.99 for the wood-made collector's edition. This new console will launch in the spring of 2019 along with more than 100 Atari Classics games and several new titles including Tempest 4000. Thanks to its Linux operating system, it will support most of the control methods compatible with PC, including gamepads, keyboard / mouse and joysticks. Atari has created a classic style joystick and modern gamepad for its VCS system.

With the arrival of the console at IndieGoGo we know that it will work with an AMD Bristol Ridge processor, a silicon that uses Excavator cores, offering much less performance than AMD's current Zen architecture, although this should have helped to achieve a more adjusted final price. This processor will be accompanied by 4 GB of DDR4 memory and 32 GB of integrated eMMC storage, it will be compatible with external storage solutions and SD cards.

Atari VCS includes an HDMI 2.0 video output compatible with 4K resolution and 60 FPS, it also offers support for HDCP 2.2, WiFi 2.4 / 5GHz, Bluetooth 4.0 and an Ethernet network port. So far, Atari VCS has raised over $ 1.7 million on IndieGoGo from more than 6, 000 backers, breaking the $ 100, 000 funding target.
