Found a nice PDF that had the correct placement for the buttons and used that as a template for drilling the holes. Now to build the rest of the box.

So when do we get a 2600 port?

The Pi _just_ fits too. Nice job! Please post some pics of it in action, too.

I'm starting to pull together the parts for my next controller project. Fortunately, I found this slightly blemished CPO on GameOnGrapix for $6!

I think it's because: - Curt Vendel designed the Atari-on-a-chip design used in the FB2 so @tGames would have to license the chip and pay a per-unit fee to him for said license - That chip would also need to be custom manufactured, which raises the cost per unit. Since these things are priced around $30-40 normally, they're trying to keep a maximum profit per unit. - It's probably cheaper for @tGames to use a common chip design across their line-up and just write emulator code for each console that runs on the common chip, again reducing the cost per unit

Let's release a music keyboard because the Mattel did it and supported it so well with its single game

That's a pretty good deal for the arcade cab case!

INTEREST CHECK: New Reproduction Overlays...
bikeguychicago replied to pboland's topic in Atari 5200
Can you use the high/low gear buttons with a home-built paddle controller as well? -
I am looking to complete some of my in-box 5200 games and am looking for any of the following 5200 manuals: - HERO - Gorf - Megamania - Montezuma's Revenge If you have an extra of any of the above, please let me know. Thanks!

Nice haul and a great price!

Poll - Interest Check 5200 Pac-man Arcade Box
bikeguychicago replied to tep392's topic in Atari 5200
That's what I was asking: if the content of the one page could be printed on the reverse of the cover (inside of the case) -
A game called "Great American Cross-Country Race" was mentioned on Ferg's latest 2600-Game-By-Game Podcast as a spiritual successor to the 2600 game Enduro. Does anyone know if this game has been ported to the 5200 (if it is possible to do such a thing)? Thanks!

Does it still work? -
Poll - Interest Check 5200 Pac-man Arcade Box
bikeguychicago replied to tep392's topic in Atari 5200
Is this similar to one of those universal cases that one sees on eBay? Also, can the one-sheet instructions you include with the game be included on the inside of the case? -
Can you let me know how this works for you? I have a 2-port in the same boat -- it won't power on and no red light. I know the power supply is good as I've tested it with one of my other 5200s. Ideally, I'd like to sell it with a lot of duplicates I've got and put the money toward an AtariMax cart.

I never knew about the Tetris arcade clone. Was this made available in the store?

Out of curiosity, does the National Video Game Museum have one of the others?
