The games in the Flashback were originally designed to be played on screens with a 4:3 aspect ratio. In order to preserve the proper, intended shapes of on screen objects, rather than having everything stretched to be “fat,” the Flashback positions the original 4:3 game picture in the center of the screen and fills in the remaining left and right spaces of the widescreen display with stand-in visuals. The 4:3 game picture is still HD, meaning it is a sharper picture, made up of more individual pixels, than the game’s presentation on its original game console. 4) What should I do if the game has no audio? Go back to the main menu and restart the game. 5) What should I do if my 2.4GHz wireless controllers are not working?
Your Atari Wireless controller may need to be re-synced to the console. Hold the “Fire” and “Up” buttons simultaneously while inserting the batteries.

Please make sure they’re within 5 meters (about 16 feet) of each other. 10) Any thoughts on why the response time of the game would be slow? That has to do with some TVs and image processing features they use to upgrade picture quality. You may need to enable your television’s “Game Mode” or equivalent to turn off such features, shortening image processing time and improving performance. 11) Some Atari games were designed to work with paddle controllers. Where and how do get I get them?
All Atari Flashback games, even those originally designed for paddle controllers, are playable with joysticks.
