    Been there, done that....

    I made the box and sent it off to a guy to do the USB controller. In the end I was not really happy with his work (and the price tripled while he was working on it) but it almost does what it was supposed to. The switches work but the toggle swiches are always "on" (constant button press), which is fine in the emulator but if I switch to a different program while it is plugged in I get interesting effects... He also said he could get joysticks, paddles, driving controllers, keypads, and a slew of other controllers all working. Most of them work but not super well. If you are interested here's what works..

     

    A2600 Joysticks - good

     

    A2600 Paddles and Driving - Windows sees some kind of input but the emulator does not...I still use Stelladaptors

     

    A2600 Keypad - only works in player one slot

     

    SMS pad - Works

     

    Genesis pad - Untested (should work)

     

    Colecovision pad - joystick works, keypad does not

     

    Intellivision pad - Untested (I bet it's the same as Coleco)

    TheXFactor sent me new scans to join and he asked me to post them in a new thread so here they are.... 

     

    Letter.pdf   Poster (Missing entry portion).pdf

     

    I came to realize that his poster has 1/4 of it cut off (I believe that portion had an entry form that he cut off and mailed in...). Here is a low quality scan of just the front of the poster...

    I'll do it for you. Just send me the files, I will pm an address. Be sure to overlap scans on the poster. 

     

     

    I just sent them to Mirage, so I think it's covered unless you'd like to have them as well? Easy enough to send them to you if you'd like.

     

    Big time THANKS to both of you for helping out!!

     

     

     

    Cool. Less work for me...

    Although I agree with you about younger reviewers not giving classic games a fair review, I honestly feel like defending ET is a new "*vogue* thing to do"... As a kid who got ET for christmas, I can tell you I always thought it sucked (and so did all my friends). I don't ever remember anyone coming over and saying "Let's play ET", unless they had never tried it before. And even now as an adult, I can understand the game better but I still don't find it fun.

    Given the way you type, I can hazard a guess you don't have the money or have to ask for money to buy it.

    Oh I have the money... I just imagined it being an add on like Sega32x.

     

    Heh nothing like that, it is a cart that will allow you to load the roms and play the entire 2600 library on your console.

    They only difference is you do not need each and every individual cart, you can try everything and see what you like before committing to tracking down/buying the original cart and you can even play originally unreleased and Homebrew titles, where the ROM is available of course.I recently find the combo of my 2600 Jr. and my Harmony cart to be an incredible gaming combo, such fun!

     

     

     

    I believe they were talking about the Supercharger (which kind of is an add-on) and you responded by talking about the Harmony cart...

    Fujifruit can correct me if I am wrong.

     

    Edit: I did just see where the Harmony cart came into the conversation. My bad.

    and really I don't even care for Genesis. The only thing they had going was sports games. Booooooooooring.

     The Genesis has a load of great games, and almost none of them are sports games.

     

    Out of the 737 games released in the US, 163 are sports games (by my count). Here is the breakdown...

     

    38 Football

     

     

    15 Hockey

     

    27 Baseball

     

    10 Boxing

     

    29 Basketball

     

    12 Golf

     

    15 Soccer

     

    8 Olympic

     

    1 Rugby

     

    8 Tennis

     

    1 Volleyball

     

    1 Bowling

    7 Wrestling 

     

     

    The only other category of game to have numbers that big is the "side scrolling platform" games (they are pushing 200). Nothing else compares...

     

    RPG 33

     

    Racing 34

     

    Puzzle 13

     

    Scrolling Shooter 46

     

    Strategy 22
