So I have the voice module for my Odyssey 2 and I want to take it off and put it on my other Odyssey 2 that I modded for AV. I took it off before but now it is stuck somehow? I hear it's one of those peripheral's that you put on once and never take off...sorta like the sega cd and jaguar cd's. I looked online and couldn't find any guide to take them off with out damaging them...thanks for any help!

Opps was very vague with my interest...I'll take a box copy and a shirt (medium). Thanks!

So I am modding another Odyssey 2 and I wired the power LED and the Led is really dim when you turn the power switch on and no output shows on the tv screen. I checked the voltage and it shows ~5 Volts going to the LED as well as the chips on the board. Would anyone have any Idea what the issue could be? I'm assuming it would be a bad voltage regulator? The one on the Odyssey 2 is two pin...I went to radio shack and they only had the 7805 5+volt 3 pin one. I know my power supply works cos it works for my other two consoles perfectly. The chips on the board are firmly in place...It was working prior to me modding it and I didn't do anything different to the motherboard itself. The cartridge slot and the board itself have been cleaned. Not sure where else to look. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!

I decided to add Atari serial ports to the Odyssey 2 with the plug in controllers and I was doing a continuity test and somehow up and ground are the same? What I thought for the units that have the plug are on the Odyssey 2 DB-9 Socket: 1.Up <----Ground??? 2.Down 3.Left 4.Right 5.N/A 6.Fire 7.N/A (Ground) 8.Ground 9.N/A (Ground) Does anyone know the pin outs of the controller Male ports on the odyssey 2? Also I think solarfox's diagram on page 4/5 of the atari controller DB9-F is wrong. He has the following: 1.UP 2.Down 3.Right 4.Left 5.N/A 6.Fire 7.N/A 8.Ground 9.N/A When It should be: 1.Up 2.Down 3.Left 4.Right 5.N/A 6.Fire 7.N/A 8.Ground 9.N/A Is that correct? Thanks!

I'm interested in a limited cart release

Thanks but I now own that game...this is actually an old post I started last year...and started it back up again this year; see post #23 of my MS Excel spreadsheet of current games I own. I think the only games, retail US wise are the following: Amock (Not sure if it's a homebrew or not) Atlantis Keyboard Creations Nimble Numbers Ned Pachinko Power Lords S.I.D. The Spellbinder Super Cobra Double check with my spreadsheet to make sure.

Where can you buy a multicart from? Places I looked at said they are sold out.

That's how much that goes for on atari2600.com: http://www.atari2600.com/ccp7/ecom-prodshow/Attack-of-the-Timelord-ODYGAM0161B.html

Also here is a link of my modded O2: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/214600-magnavox-odyssey-2-hardwired-controller-ver-problems/

Glad I found my old thread so I don't have to waste server space starting a new topic, lol. Since I last posted I have collected more games for my Odyssey 2 and then that faded and been buying games for my other systems. I been recently watching pickup video's on youtube and one in particular is grubgun's channel and his quest to own all the gamecube games. So I started back up and buying games for my Odyssey 2. I now own two consoles, my original with detachable controllers which I had to clean the hell out of so they would work. Sometime around last month my friend gave me the one with the attached controllers but the controllers were all jacked and the power supply didn't work so I had an extra power supply and fired it up and the game showed on the screen so I then took a gamble and modded it with a power LED, AV out, serial cables to connect Atari 2600 controllers to. Now it works perfectly since I refurbished it and was happy I was able to fix it as opposed to throwing it out with all the problems it had. I've attached my excel spreadsheet of the games I currently own. If I'm not mistaken I think I only need 9 more games to complete my collection? If anyone has any extra copies they would like to part with or help me out I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks everyone! O2.xls

I also noticed these guys floating around ebay: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 181078338355 I as well as a lot of other modders on here didn't use any amplification circuit.I just took the audio and video signal directly form the board. However, I did notice the video is slightly better than the RF, mine has slight wavey-ness to it, but the sound is nice and crisp. Has anyone on here used these boards to mod their Odyssey 2? If so, is it worth it? Are there instructions online on how to build one of these by yourself as opposed to spending $23+ on it?

Got my copy of Muncher (Atari 2600) off of Rick in the mail today! A great person to deal with and shipped fast. AAA+++! Thanks again!

Got my copy today! Thanks soo much! ....*bump* and def. a game worth picking up

Received my Jaguar Duo-Power in the mail when I came back from Vaca today. I love it!!! Ax does wonders to rid ppl from having to use those stupid brick power supplies. Thanks yet again! AAA+++ Get well soon bro!

I still gotta find a cheap pair of atari 2600 controllers...the one pictured is the one for my flashback 2.

Yea daisy chaining the ground has always seem to work and less of a pain in the ass doing it individually...I'm surprised no one wondered about reasoning behind my placement of the LED power light...reason why I didn't do what 99% of every other modder does and have it next to the power button is because if you use the voice attachment it will cover the led light that's why I have it on the left side of the keyboard. My soldering wasn't the best with this project 100% due to being lazy and using a year old solder tip that is basically burnt out...Fun Tip for everyone on here that also does system mods...once your solder points come off you know it's time to replace the solder tip...two of my connections came undone while soldering the wires together :-(

More pics :-)

As promissed here are a few pics of the mod I did. I agree, I think one wire would have been fine but it's fine...not like it was that hard to wire two extra wires lol. Opps reached my file limit :-(

Well I ended up taking two serial cables from work and splicing the ends on the wire harness that hooks up the two wired controllers and drilled two holes in the front of the console so the serial cables can go through. I also got carried away and added a LED mod that I figured out how to do myself. Also did a composite mod with dual Mono sound. I have become lazy and didn't take pictures of doing the mods but I will take pics tomorrow of the finished product and working Quick question: With the AV mod I know you get the video and audio signals off of the board at two junctions. In pics: http://www.lukesandel.com/techgallery3/index.php/VideoGameTech/Odyssey2-Composite/IMG_3413 it looks like they took two wires for the signal, as opposed to using only one wire...I did it with two wires just to be on the safe side but I'd imagine you can only use one right? So now all I need is two used Atari 2600 controllers and a AV cable and I'll be set

I was using Spin-Out! since it utilizes both controllers and nothing worked....Seob...i was thinking of doing that...actually I think that's my only option at this point but then I'll have two Odyssey 2's that are modded, haha...I guess I'll sell it once I mod it...not sure if there is any interest in that system...maybe I'll bundle it with my 10 duplicate games? Not sure but yea I'll have to buy 2 atari controllers and 2 serial cables to complete the mod and maybe throw in the power LED mod and composite out.

Hey everyone! So a friend of mine gave me a Magnavox Odyssey 2 (Hardwired controller) version. When I got it home it looked like someone tapered with it because both the controllers were disconnected from the unit as well as the RF cable. So I hooked them back together and I wasn't quite sure which side the controllers plug into the mother board? I tried both ways and the system loads the games but both controllers won't work. It seems like the lock nut on the joystick broke off and the stick part just falls through the controller, I tried to level it and it still doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix these controllers? Also which way is the plug supposed to go into the unit? If I can't fix these controllers I guess I could always gut out a few extra controllers I have and use those parts? Not sure if the wires are the same or not between the plug and the hardwired controllers. Thanks!

Bought a channel F game off of him. Great/smooth transaction would buy from again! Thanks soo much!!! AAA+++

So last week I went to toomanygames 2013 and brought my original 3ds to get street passes and my friend brought his 3ds xl too. As we were walking around I noticed that he would obtain more street passes than me. I was wondering is there an improvement in wireless adapter in the newer xl models?

Just started playing the last of us...amazing game!

So if anyone has this issue try restoring the ps3 first, then cleaning the lens, then replace the lens. Hope this will help anyone with the same issue that I had.
