Apparently the connector pinout is already detailed. You can extract audio (A17) and video (A13) straight from the cart port. I´m a complete idiot on electronic (and in some other things too ? ) but I guess is not just as simple as soldering a wire over there, probably you must add a small circuit with diodes and resistors and stuff, right? Might be an easy thing to do?

IT LIVES! ? Tried it on a Samsung TV. Nothing. Sharp Aquos TV? Nada. Last desperate attempt: a Fujitsu monitor + TV. Profit! (I’ve setted it to Cable. Worked on Channel 6). I’m a happy camper. ?

Hello, I was wondering if there´s a composite mod for the Cassete Vision since it´s HELL to get an image due to NTSC-J. Google didn´t help at all! The only way I managed to get a (terribly shaky) picture was by using the X68000 monitor that have a (really clunky) TV tuner build-in. Any ideas? Anyone managed to mod it? Any tips on tuning that beast that does not involve importing a TV or VCR from Japan? Thank you in advance!

Thank you for doing this, Waggie. Brilliant work! I hope you guys still plan to release it in cart form, that would be just a delight! ?

Hello, I´m looking for a few specific carts to cross my checklist. Looking for CIB ONLY games, please. Thank you! M Network - Bump´n´ Jump - Masters of the Universe - Star Strike US Games - Raft Rider Sunrise - Quest for Quintana Roo Apollo - Final Approach

Hello, I’ve stumbled upon the attached 4-Switxh woody and I was wondering if the package is original or if it’s a Frankentari of sorts. I know the Paddles are missing. The Joystick box seems off. I’ve tried to Google around and saw a huge variation so I’m quite lost. ? Could this joystick box be original? What kind of paddles should I hunt down? Is here any paperwork missing? Like a catalog for instance? Thank you! ?

Thank you! Things are looking great! ?

Al, all pictures on the "Atari 2600 Brazilian items" are missing. Is this part of the migration process or something went wrong? Thanks!

Hi there, I´m at the final steps of testing and listing my entire Brazilian VCS collection. There´s probably another 40 or so recent purchases. Also I haven´t touched my CCE Thematic and CCE Supergame collections, so we can add about 100 games there, maybe 40 of them boxed. Anyway... There´s already some 700+ games all individually photographed and sorted by manufacturer. I guess you guys might find it interesting. Enjoy: http://www.lazzeri.online/vg/Atari_2600_BR/Atari_2600_BR.html

Hi Oscar! Nice to see you around here aswell! :-) Had no idea you developed for INTV too. And an amazing game as usual! Sad part is, I´ll have to start buying your games for both MSX and INTV now. You´ll ruin my wedding.

Hello, Looking for some manuals. If you have spares please let me know! :-) - Hangman (Atari) - Slot Machine (Atari) - Ghostbusters II (Salu) - King Kong (Tigervision)

Hi Wiz! Actually three of them. Nothing extraordinarily rare but some hard catch. *Sigh* C-804 Open, Sesame! C-808 Phantom Tank C-837 Pizza Chef

Nice one BTW. Great label. That´s the only CCE set I still haven´t completed (we call it "CCE Supergame series"), still missing four of them IIRC. That´s on my bucket list for this year. :-) So here´s the four CCE series in chronological order: - CCE Color - the 1st 9 games, the ones that started it all. Each one have a unique-colored label; - CCE Supergame - both in white and black casings, all with the same label above (CCE was a mess). 40 games total; - CCE Golden - looks like Supergame but with golden-ish labels; 9 unique games, never released on the other series. - CCE Thematic - the ones with those lovely drawings that are unique for each game (or almost). 57 games total.

Oh and FIY, a heads-up for everyone looking for Brazilian games, specially CCE: There´s A LOT of counterfeiting going on right now. I mean, *A LOT*. :-( There´s relabeling all around (and some sh*tty labels that don´t look like the originals at all) and, far worse, complete counterfeiting - a recently burned ROM placed inside an original shell with a homemade label. And that´s going on specially for CCE carts (notably the Color series), Onyx Jr carts, Tron and some less valuable. So if that´s of any worth: If a brazilian cart looks too good to be true, it probably ain´t. (I just hate the MFs doing that right now. They seems to be everywere - Facebook, auction sites, whatsapp groups... Damn them.)

Wow, now this is a nice necrobump. :-) ROM, I know this is a 9-year old thread necrobumped but I think I must say something. Star War is *DEFINITELY* not the rarest of the CCE "Thematic" label. That honor belongs to Fast Eddie, no doubt about it. (And Leandro agrees with me on that :-) ). I don´t even believe Star War is the second one. There´s a fuzzy line between him and Beany Bopper, and I tend to believe BB is a little harder to find. I mean, that doesn´t make SW common, not by a mile. It is clearly one of the 3 rarest "CCE Thematic". If we should use AtariAge rarity guide I´ll probably say Fast Eddie is a R10, SW and BB a R9 (and probably Condor Attack too) and Q*Bert an equivalent to R8. That would be my top-5 rarity for that series. And OmegaMatrix is right, Dancing Plate (from the CCE Color series) is the rarest of all CCE carts, hands down.

I guess thats the one that sold recently for 16,500? The one that was (kind of) announced here? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Worlds-Rarest-Video-Game-Extra-Terrestrials-Atari-2600-Long-Lost-Video-Game/132989596329?hash=item1ef6cc32a9:g:puMAAOSwGgdciGgY

Thank you! Great idea with the pots, will try that! :-)

Hello, I guess you guys are sick and tired of seeing this. I´ve done my research and got kind of confused. So, I´m sorry but I have to ask. :-) I currently own four standard A5200 joystick. They were all defective once, unfortunately. I was lucky enough to grab a replacement kit and managed to change it in one controller that is now just fine. Hurray! I still have two that changing the flat might solve, only the fire buttons are bad. I also have one that is having a vertical pot problem: stick goes down but not THAT much, I can control the chopper on Choplifter but NOT Pac-man. Tried to open it and it didn´t seem to be anything obvious. So I´ll probably buy more replacement kits and fix those with trigger problems. Not sure about what to do with the one with the vertical problem though. Any other thing I might try? Clear pots? Anything not very obvious? I´m lousy in soldering but managed to close the controller I opened so I´m confident now. Also... Is there ANY commercialy available modern-day joystick solution? I´ve seen some homemade boards with Arduino but I am phisically unable to do that, I´ll set my house ablaze. BITD solutions seems to be obscene priced today so a modern product might just hit the spot. Thank you all for your pacience!

Hello, I´ve just acquired a boxed A5200, 4-port model. Everything works, it is pretty neat, box is in great shape (and since I´m in Brazil that´s a HUGE step forward, bringing a boxed system alone would cost me a fortune) Anyway... Nothing´s perfect, right? Most of the paperwork is absent. It does have a catalog and a "switch install instructions", and that´s it. So... my question is - what´s the original paperwork that came with the system? I guess I´m missing at least a manual and perharps a warranty? Apparently there´s two different manuals around, right? Wich one´s the correct for an early 4-port? Do any of you have a spare paperwork for sale by chance? Thank you!

Hello, I´m looking for the following games from US Games, both CIB (box & manual): - Picnic - Raft Riders Thank you!

Ricardo, The Rarities guide hasn´t been updated for some time now. There´s a few well-known carts discovered on the last 5-or-so years that are yet unlisted, like Extra Terrestrials or Red Sea Crossing, for example. I don´t think this one´s gonna be added any time soon. You managed to find most of the info we know about it by now. It seems that yours is the 2nd known copy after the one owned by Marco "Dino". So it is indeed extremely rare.

(And Dancing Plate is one of the rarest Brazilian carts, there are definitely less than 10 surviving units. A complete set like the one pictured is a rare feat, probably about 5 of them around? I know four, including the one on eBay for a fortune)

Heres the original 9 CCE games, BTW: http://www.lazzeri.online/vg/Atari_2600_BR/IMG_3401.JPG

2) there is a lot of confusion regarding Bit Corp games released by CCE in Brazil. The first 9 games released by CCE using what we call Color labels were LEGALLY LICENSED by CCE from Bit Corp. - and, most important, they do NOT use EPROM but indeed MASK ROM manufacfured by Bit Corp in Taiwan. And as you all probably know Brazilian PAL-M is NOT a PAL system at all. It is a modified NTSC with a different Color Carrier. Most important, brazilian Atari games have NTSC binaries in them - a brazilian cart works on USA atari and vice-versa. So, to sum it all, the original 9 CCE games are NOT BOOTLEGGED, but TRUE NTSC RELEASES OF BIT CORP GAMES, REBRANDED. Of course they dont belong on a North America / USA master list. But they should belong on any officially released NTSC list. Im not sure about later CCE releases like Pizza Chef or Immies. We might have to crack one open to check if thats EPROM or MASK ROM based.

May I share two thoughts? 1) Since Canada and USA have a *very* porous border and share a lot of characteristics (including NTSC Color system); and since there are so few Canadian only games (five of them?), would you by any chance consider a north america NTSC master list, very close to what RandomTerrain made? It would probably be easier to accept by the general public and became a de facto list. You might even add a * primarily released only in Canada for clarification. Ill add the 2nd one below right now. :-)
