high voltage Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 How many different units are out there? I got the Videoplexer, just won a Video Game Brain, and I'm soon getting a Romscanner. Are there any more out there from other companies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bcombee Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) There's also the Imagic game selector. It wasn't sold to individuals, just to stores for use in displays.

+Gemintronic Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Are all of them wired such that it may damage carts like the Video Game Brain? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Or Harmony maybe? Never cared for these game selector thingies... the ones I've had throughout the years, all produced noticeable to excessive RF noise across the screen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keatah Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Despite having one of these back in the day I STILL found myself swapping cartridges like an ADD crazed lunatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I never damaged a cart with my game brain, how was that done? (but then, I didn't use3 it a lot, I didn't like the massive amount of RF garbage it gave to games, always wondered if I could shield it or something and fix that, but was always chronically lazy so never tried) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 There is also a Parker Bros one in the same vein as that Imagic one. Myself I don't really think either one of those count though as both of them are more retail store units not consumer use units like the Game Brain,ect.

BassGuitari Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I've got a couple of Game Brains but I never bother with them. For one thing, they're only marginally more convenient than just changing the carts out normally, but they also cause video interference; my picture is terrible with the Game Brain.

Are there any more out there from other companies? If you want to dump roms and you know someone with an eprom burner, there is a replacement 7800 BIOS that uses the joystick port to connect to a PC and dump roms to the PC. One of my 7800s has this mod and I dumped a number of games, but I don't recall if it dumps 7800 roms or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
