    I usually just buy whatever is cheapest, so that means loose carts most of the time. I don't mind, I never read manuals anyway and I just care more about having the game, if it has the box that's a plus. Though if it's only a few bucks more I'm willing to buy CIB. Then I only get NOS games if I already own it and it's cheap, or it's cheap and I could open it for the game(I've only done this on cheap games like Ms. Pac-Man for 2600) As for space, well I ussualy make space, but yes those boxes eat up space quick. There are a few exceptions to this for me though. Vectrex, I like to get these games complete or at the very least with their overlays. Sega CD, I like getting all of these games with their cases. Genesis, I like to get games with their cases but I'm fine with just the cart. Then for systems with overlays for their controllers like the Colecovision, Intellivision, and 5200, I'm fine with just the cart and it's just a bonus if the game has it's overlays.

    Just got the combiner today and it works perfectly :) . Good signal coming in from all the systems. I've now got NES, SNES, 2600, 5200, 7800, Colecovision, Intellivision, Genesis/CD/32X all using their rf outs into one tv(I try to replicate the original experience as much as possible)

    I only really emulate MAME, just on my comp, I'm still a hardware purists if I buy something. I buy original hardware and use the RF outputs on all of my systems as I like to experience all my consoles as someone back in when they came out would. Also I'm just one of those people who likes to have something physical that I own rather then a bunch of files on my computer. Though there are just some systems that can't be emulated correctly, like Vectrex or Virtual Boy(I like it). Also I'm somewhat of a preservationists (16mm all the way! :D )so I just like making machines work well into the future.

    You can add Vectrex to that list, outside of homebrews there are no non-GCE games. Though depends on the definition of piracy, as your using unlicensed games on your list, then yes it's just going to be any system that wasn't on the market long enough to make the whole process of tooling a new cartridge plastic and figuring out how to program for the system viable. For copying games and selling those, then obviously that's one of cartridges main upsides too expensive to copy a game and then sell it. But there are plenty of copied games on floppies, cassettes, and cds and pretty much any other inexpensive writable media.

    4Jays is definitely a good place, I just got a colecovision and I'll probably buy a roller controller and the #2 module when I get the money a I've got three games that don't work without them( slither, victory, turbo ) also should make War games easier. Though that's an awesome computer find, though he should definitely test them all out if he can find the power supplies.

    So I just got a ColecoVision! It's been great, favorite game so far is Pepper II. Anyway it's missing the rubber feet on the bottom, anyone know of a good replacement for these? I just don't want the system sliding around on shelf.

    I'm just going to order that 8 way combiner, fits the number of systems I need to go into the set and I guess if it doesn't work I'll go with small 4 way ones. It's just those RCA splitters I have are absolutely horrible and have crazy signal degradation despite being about two inches of wire(two females hook into one male connector) so I'm guessing they're both faulty. This all came about though as I'm trying to get a better signal on my new Colecovision, which unfortunately is wired to end of the line.

    I've got about 8 systems right now that I want to run into my tv's singular cable input. Right now it's a mess of switchboxes and rca splitters(hooked into an rca to coax adapter) running into either side of a 2 way coax combiner. However the signal quality on a few systems is getting bad, so does anyone have a switchbox or combiner system they know about. I saw these 8 way combiners, anyone know if they're any good?

    Does anyone have a copy of an Xbox 360 Fallout 3 or just the disc I can buy? Unfortunately I dropped my disc and now there's this compression in it that throws it off balance.

    Ok well I managed to get the joystick port working with solder and tape, I'll probably replace with with a new input later. Now, how do I open the reset and select switches?

    I think I just bought these exact two atari's from you a few days ago on ebay, same makes and problems. Anyway after looking in them I have found that the joystick connector has a loose lead wire to the pin, is it possible to fix that without a whole new connector though? As for the reset switches, I haven't looked at them closely yet but they are ridiculously tight. I'm assuming that opening them up and using some switch cleaner might work.

    Hi, I just bought a broken Atari 2600 and the problem is that the up on the left joystick doesn't work. I've opened it up and saw that the pin on the back of the port is loose from the pin the controller would go into. Is there anyway to put this back reliably or do I need a new port. Also on the subject of repairs, I have another Atari where the reset and select switches are both broken, any way to fix them or are new parts needed?
