SHaMROCK 73

Thank you so much, Merry Christmas. I was thinking this wonderful tradition wasn't going to happen this year. It has been the best part of my Christmas for several years...

Phil, I was wondering if you could add more "orphan" overlays to your roster? I have designed a overlay for people that own the AtariMax Ultimate SD Wafer Drive. So you can remember where all the keypad buttons to see manuals, boxset ect. I also am working on one for "TURBO". Feel free to use my designs for other customers after...

I have tried is with original hardware and the Ultimate SD and I can confirm it does not work...

Can i see a picture of the paper nameplates?

Thank you, and Merry Christmas to one and all!!! I honestly look forward to these ROMs every year as much (or more) then my actual gifts... You guys rock!

That is exactly the info I was after. Thank you for the great information.

I know we are on the 5th run of this fantastic product. Has anyone kept info on each of the 5 different runs release date, production numbers, hardware revisions, packaging revisions, label revisions? I would love some insight into this...

Thank you. WoW works fine for me on the Ultimate SD. Ghostbusters does not. I was hoping there was a patch for that game...

I see there was a fix for Wizards of War for Phoenix, and fix for Ghostbusters using Ultimate SD available?

OK, no problem. Thank anyway...

Oh, ok thanks Doubledown. I ask because I am missing a shaft for one of my controllers. I mailed it away about two years ago to have it fitted for a ball top and it apparently never arrived. I was thinking if you use entirely new parts you might have an extra laying around...

Hey Doubledown, when you use longer shafts on you controllers do you add to the standard shaft or is it an entirely new part?

Are these better? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F223587554469

I have seen more brownwood balls on eBay as well...

I'm thinking I will buy these in this eBay listing. I have two modded ColecoVision controllers with 20mm black plastic ball tops done by another AtariAge member. For continuity, I am thinking of the 20mm version of these wood balls. I haven't seen any cylinder shaped ones that look like they would work... Two days ago I had never considered wood, now I'm fully obsessed with this project... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F323513949246

Here is the best turbo shifter picture I found...

A wood ball top, I'm doing this. I looked at the TURBO cabinet buy there isn't any great pictures. What shade of stain I'd on the wood? I'd there a white circle at the very end of the shifter?

Interesting, I wasn't aware of the wood on the arcade. I was thinking the blue knob would look nice to match the blue gauges on the controller. Or a T shaped shifter if it doesn't interfere with the wheel. Straight cord is a must, do you know the secret method to straighten them that that other guy Yurkie uses?

Hey Doubledown, welcome back. You know what I want? I want a controller dedicated for use on the Expansion Module #2 driving controller. Either a knob that would match/compliment the colours on the wheel decals. Maybe a custom keypad with gearshift markings or theme...

I was one of the first people Yurkie screwed. Modded my system years ago but it did not work when it got to me, I sent it back, he said it works fine for him. He sent it to me, and it still did not work. I had to fix it myself, the metal shielding was pressing too hard on a knob he installed. Not to mention the system stunk like old cigarette smoke. Two years ago he was going to install a ball top on a controller for me, I sent just the shaft. He claimed he never got it, and I never got any rectification to this. Now I have a controller with no stick... When I had issues way back with the system mod, everyone stood up for Yurkie and cast me as the villain. Seem more people are being taken... I feel vindicated...

I think my favorite, and the most recognized Atari 2600 label style is the picture label so I made this... I hope you like it...

Sounds like there might be a market for this idea...

Any success? My ColecoVision is on a shelf in my entertainment center. When I want to play Atari games and plug in the Expansion Module #1 it is hanging off the shelf floating in mid air. It would be nice if I could just have a 6' extension and have it on the coffee table.

Has anything ever been available that could enable the ColecoVision Expansion Module #1 (Atari Adapter) to sit on a shelf beside or under the ColecoVision. I envision a small box that plugs into the expansion port on the front of ColecoVision with a cord, on the other end is a female connector that connects to the back of the Expansion Module. Has something like this ever been available?
