All buttons and functions have been tested and work. Overall, the joystick is in very good condition. The rubber boot does not have any tears.

  2. Answers below each question.

     

    It's funny how we were all amazed to see 300+ downloads but now it's up to 800+ downloads! I posted the link to this thread on all the social media pages we have, but I'm so curious about the people who have downloaded those ROMs so far...

     

    - How many of them are still actively playing their ColecoVision vs just downloading to put them into an archive?

    I still play my Colecovision (not as often as I'd like, though)

     

    - How many of them who downloaded have also bought (or would have bought) a boxed copy of the game?
    I've bought games before. Once I try these, I may buy the ones I like the best.

     

    - How many of them are playing on actual hardware versus an emulator versus a Raspberry Pi?

    I have an Atarimax cart and want to try them on that on the real CV.

     

    - How many of them found the link from browsing these forums or saw it on a social media page or something like Reddit?

    Facebook.

     

    My statistics loving brain is going crazy over those numbers! :P

  3. Okay, which models of the Odyssey 2/G7000 have controllers that are detachable from the box(aka without having to do modding of any kind to the system)? I do know that the earliest of the Odyssey 2 systems in North America have grey fire buttons, while all other batches have the fire button red, and that the European G7000 has no built-in power button, and the fire button is black. Why won't the VCS/2600, Master system, Genesis nor Colecovison controllers work properly on any of the detachable controller Odyssey 2s on their own? :? :?

     

     

    The BJ7600 GY02 and BK7600 GY02 models both had removable joysticks. There are black with red action button removables as well (I have 2).

     

    The reason other joysticks like Genesis and Atari don't work correctly is that the pinouts are different. If you read further up this thread there is a pinout for each.

    Yep, what metarog said. I think it's the earliest models that have detachable joysticks. Consider them like "heavy sixers" of Odyssey 2's! Mine has silver joysticks with silver buttons. The converter allows me to use an Atari joystick, which is wrong, but oh-so-right at the same time.
