  3. 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.

  6. The Pi _just_ fits too. Nice job! Please post some pics of it in action, too.
  7. I'm starting to pull together the parts for my next controller project. Fortunately, I found this slightly blemished CPO on GameOnGrapix for $6!
  8. Are you planning on including all the levels from the disc-based versions or only the pared-down number of levels included in the Colecovision version?
  9. 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
  10. Let's release a music keyboard because the Mattel did it and supported it so well with its single game
  11. That's a pretty good deal for the arcade cab case!
  12. Can you use the high/low gear buttons with a home-built paddle controller as well?
  13. 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!
  14. 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)
  15. 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!
  16. 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?
  17. 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.
  18. I never knew about the Tetris arcade clone. Was this made available in the store?
  19. Out of curiosity, does the National Video Game Museum have one of the others?
