shadow460 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 The only way I see to switch quickly between 2600 and ColecoVision games is to physically disconnect the expansion module from the system. I'd like to change that.What I have in mind is use of a reed switch to connect the 5 volt power line inside the expansion module whenever a 2600 game is plugged in. I also considered just adding in a toggle switch on the side of the module instead.Is there anything else I'd need to disconnect? If I shut down the power to the expansion module, I don't expect the system would even know it was still hooked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikrananka Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I believe you may also have to break (reed switch) one or more of the external video lines from the expansion interface. Although if you cut power to the expansion module that may not be the case. Perhaps you can figure it out from the attached schematics.

fiddlepaddle Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I seem to remember someone did this a couple of years ago and posted how they did it, but I don't have the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
