Modern reissue of the Atari 2600 that plays original 2600 and 7800 cartridges via emulation, with HDMI output and adjustable widescreen modes.

The Atari 2600+ is a modern reissue of the legendary Atari 2600, released in 2023 for players who want to enjoy their original cartridges on a current TV. Instead of the classic hardware, the system relies on emulation. You can slot Atari 2600 and 7800 cartridges straight into the console, with no adapters or digital copies of the games needed.

Under the hood sits a Rockchip RK3128 processor with four ARM Cortex-A7 cores. It is a modest chip, but it suits the console's dedicated job: running games from 2600 and 7800 cartridges. The system software lives on internal flash storage, while the games come from the physical cartridges.

Video goes out over HDMI, so the console hooks up easily to modern TVs and monitors. Adjustable widescreen modes let you choose how the picture appears on a wide display. You can keep the original look or adapt the image to your TV.

For controls, the Atari 2600+ offers two DB-9 ports, the standard used by classic Atari controllers. That means two controller slots and an experience faithful to the original setup, plus compatibility with DB-9 style ports.

Power is supplied via USB-C, and connectivity sticks to the essentials: HDMI for video, USB-C for power and the two controller ports. The setup is simple and well suited to a living-room console.

The operating system is a custom Linux build centred on a Stella-based emulator, a well-known name in Atari 2600 emulation. The platform focuses on a single purpose: playing Atari cartridges, without complicated menus.

Ideal for: collectors of Atari 2600 and 7800 cartridges, nostalgic players who want to revisit their childhood games on a modern TV, and retro fans who prefer physical media over ROM files.
