Help with the Atari Flashback II Mod

[atariaddict82]

I am interested in the Flashback II Cartridge Mod which allows me to play Atari 2600 Cartridges on my flashback. I have two questions that I would really appreciate some feedback on. First, as for the Harmony Cart, is there a compatibility list available for the ROMs that will or will not play on this mod?

Also, I saw on ebay that this mod is available to purchase fully completed if you search Atari Flashback II Mod-either as a system (in the used, buy it now section), or they will mod your own system which you send in...I'm just curious if this seems like a fair price. It seems to be a good deal to me, but I would like some other opinions before I decide whether to purchase it.

I saw that service from Atariguy1021 however his rating Positive feedback: 0%|Feedback score: 0 is something you might want to take into account if that is who you were referring to. Sorry I do not have answers for your other questions but I am sure others will chime in.

Yes, I saw that one and also the same Mod offered by wood_creations99, whom has 100% positive feedback, including feedback on two of the actual systems. The price is a bit higher on this one, but considering the positive feedback I thought it may be a good idea to go with it.

atariguy1021 now has 2 positive feedback!

 

I checked his auction and I think he's offering a good price. I couldn't find wood_creations99.

 

As someone who has done the mod personally, I don't think he's going to get rich or anything. Its quite a bit of work and you have to go through some learning to get it right. There are also varitions to the different revisions that you have to be aware of, and there were even some non-authorized flashback clones that (as far as I know) can't be modified.

 

I will say that it would be much cheaper to simply buy a working 2600. You might even be able to buy an AV modded 2600 for the cost of a new flashback plus the what he wants for the mod.
