Using a micro USB cable you can cut it open and solder the black, green and white wires to 3 of the 6 holes found on the PCB. See image for reference.
PS This was my first time using a soldering iron.
Power up the console and put the USB plug into your computer. If everything is in order it should pop up when connected.
Since this is an Android device you will need ADB drivers to be able to access the files on your computer. Download SDK Platform Tools for your platform and unzip the file.
For Windows you can use Command Prompt to change directory to the platform-tools folder you just extracted. Example: cd C:\Users\YOURNAME\Downloads\platform-tools_r34.0.1-windows
Then use the command adb devices and you will see “List of devices attached DYQA8W5CM5 device” pop up on the prompt screen.
Type adb pull /system to dump all the content of the console to your platform-tools folder.
Inside the dumped folder \system\atgames\Atari you will find all the Atari 2600 ROMs included on the flashback.
Fun fact. It also includes the original 2600 version of Frogger and Space Invaders. Even if the Atari Flashback is based on the 2600, when you try play them on the TV they looks more like the plug-and-play NES-on-a-chip versions. If you want those versions as well you can find them as APK-files under \system\app called Frogger.apk and Invaders.apk. They can actually be installed as apps on a Android device.
All this is based on information I found here and here.
