LOL the ColecoVision's tech was roughly the same age as the A8's. Heck the CV and Adam were really cobbled together from off-the-shelf parts whereas the A8 was mostly comprised of custom hardware.

I think there's a large enough market for repro covers, that and the front smoked piece covering the controller ports are by far and away the most broken and missing pieces I've seen on the 5200. I've got a 2-port 5200 with a chunk taken out of the front piece and I'd love to get a new replacement.

Nobody's brought up the Blinking Light Win yet? Sure it's $30 but it's a replacement connector that actually lasts.

That's what it should be without a load. If you test the voltage on an unregulated PSU like these without connecting it to anything, you're going to get a slightly higher voltage than what's labeled on the PSU.

I've used Shopping Mall Japan for years, they only charge a $4 flat commission fee for YHJ auctions and they let you buy from a variety of places including Amazon.

Meaning the 2-port 5200 consoles weren't manufactured after the Tramiel takeover, all of them were made when Atari was still owned by Warner.

Atari Corp. had nothing to do with the 2-port consoles.

I'd rather stick with an original Nintendo one, third-party ones tend to be unreliable from what I've seen.

I'm in the middle of revitalizing a spare N64 I had laying around, and I'd like to get an Expansion Pak for it so I can get more interest in it when I sell it. If anyone's got one for a reasonable price drop me a PM!

That is a steal for that price, really clean work too.

It should be possible, though you'll have to remove the two 7805s to prevent backfeed and link the two 5V rails together. I would recommend using an iPad charger or at least something that puts out over 1A just to be safe. What connector do you plan on using?

I'm assuming you mean US releases? TV system doesn't matter with the Game Gear, and all of them run at 60 Hz.

While you're at it I'd highly recommend replacing the kernal ROMs in both the C64 and 1541 with JiffyDOS. It doesn't require a special cartridge and it vastly improves disk load times.

Sent you a PM on some of the C64 disks.

Will entertain offers on the modded consoles.

Can't see why not, it only uses the 5V rail.

LOL I misunderstood the thread since I didn't glance at the first page. Oh well. I haven't had a large number of consoles hooked up at once in like 10 years, it got to be way too much to handle and my setup at the time didn't allow for much in the way of cable management. At this moment I just have my RGB-modded 2600 Jr. connected to my PVM and the AVS connected to my computer monitor.

Has anyone else tackled a 2600 Jr. install? I just wrapped up one on mine this morning and it was probably one of the trickiest RGB board installs I've ever done. Getting the flex adapter soldered on was actually pretty easy, the tricky bit was getting the connectors on since I didn't want them on the sides. Just adding a 3.5 mm audio jack required a bit of guesswork and luck.

Wow, a thread from 16 years ago got necroed.

Send Simius a PM, though I don't know if he's starting up a new production run soon.

I think right now the current video mods for the 5200 are really good, you've got Bryan's UAV mod if you want S-video, and Simius' SOPHIA if you want RGB or component. I have the SOPHIA mod on my 5200 and the picture quality is amazing through RGB.

Bump.
