  1. Probably should have stated that at the beginning. Would have solved the problem faster. Glad you got it working though.
  2. Were u always trying the atari module? Or did u try with a real atari? Is coleco or real atari what was av modded?
  3. I have a harmony cart too. Sometimes i just like to stick the old carts in.
  4. I can definitely see what you’re saying, as I fall into the category of being a bit too young to have experienced the golden age of arcade games while they were still drawing lineups. I’ll never forget a fateful day In 1982 when I was 4-5 years old, my mom brought my brother and I over to her friends’ house, and they had just bought an Atari for their son. We played Pac-Man and Space Invaders that day, which were the very first videogames I ever touched (or saw) in my life. My brother and I still laugh about how on Pac-Man I kept making the same move from the home position – left then up – and getting killed by the same ghost over and over again, scoring a whopping 6 points or so in the first videogame of my life. We got our own Atari the following year, with Pac-Man being our first game aside from Combat. Atari 2600 Pac-Man stood as my whole “concept” of what Pac-Man was for the next two decades—dumb terminology and all (vitamins, power pills, etc.). I think I might have briefly played ports on later systems that did a much better job, but in those days I didn’t care enough about Pac-Man to even pay attention. I didn’t even realize it until I discovered MAME and tried Pac-Man in that format, but I had never played the arcade version of Pac-Man until after the year 2000. Now the original Pac-Man on MAME is one of my go-to games—especially when guests come over—and I can really appreciate its brilliance even though I missed it growing up. If the bar was set there, I can totally understand how the 2600 version would be a complete letdown. I finally got around to buying an Atari 2600 last year after a 23 year hiatus, and I did make a point of hunting down a copy of Pac-Man, but I don’t think I’ve played it once. i have to say my story is pretty much the exact same. I was born in 76 and didnt play til 82. I didnt play pac-man again until mame in 2000. Now i am obsessed. Have a pac-man tattoo. Custom nike pac-man shoes, arcade machine, about 20 pac-man shirts, and other stuff i collect. Pac-man back in the day was crappy but still loved it. Did people complain about the pac-man handheld? That is awful. I still love it and we played the hell out of crappy handhelds and never complained about the atari and nes versions being better. My first games i ever played were baseball and football on handheld in the 70's. Those are really awful but we loved playing them. Even as i kid i understood that the atari was limited but didnt care.
  5. I guess i just dont care enough about cib. I take my carts out of the box and put them on the shelf to be able to play when i want. Hope this helps even one person who cant stand their games falling off the shelf like me.
  6. I bought these rubber feet from Radio Shack. They come in a 12 pack. They also dont permanently stick, so they wont ruin carts.
  7. im surprised they didnt relase the fb3 looking like a genesis controller like half the other crap they do
  8. found out my airlock cart is the same. game is completely playable. only title screen rolls
  9. Also forgot to mention that gremlins works perfect on the harmony cart as well. blue print works for me as well. although i have no clue what i am supposed to do. Also water world plays fine for me on harmony. not sure where the problem is as i do not own the original, but i tested rom on both fb2 and a 2600. all seemed the same. airlock works. title screen rolls however. main game fine. All the supercharger roms of course do not work.
  10. which is stupider. the fact he wants 50 thousand or that he cant even show pics of the actual product. looks like a scam on top of being overpriced. idiots
  11. i still want one dont care the color. however sell what you can. i will go without if it means you get one.. i would prefer you keep one. but if you come to an extra on top of that then ill take 1
  12. Using a Harmony cartridge these following games were working. Activision Checkers Activision Decathlon - Does not need fixed ver. - My actual cart did not work when i tried it. Astroblast - Only glitch is bottom line of right number is misplaced. Not sure if that was all that was wrong before. Bermuda Triangle Berzerk - My actual cart did not work when i tried it. Berzerk VE Boxing - My actual cart did not work when i tried it. Conquest of Mars Crazy Climber - Not sure what original graphic glitches were. H.E.R.O. Jungle Hunt - Did not notice any graphical glitches. Quadrun - Has sound. No clue how to play. Robot Tank - Does not need fixed rom. Secret Agent - Loads and plays. No clue how to move or if it is a glitch. Snow White - Appears to work fine for me. Space Shuttle Note: Pitfall II loads. It just has graphical glitches
  13. i have a rob so count me in. i would also like a bin file too if possible for my harmony cart. edit: if he doesnt want numero uno then i will take it. if it is hand written i would prefer no numbering.
  14. I have an av modded coleco using transistor method and my atari module on it looks great. No washout at all on my lcd
  15. $30 at kroger, king soopers, city market, piggly wiggly, whatever the hell it is called where you live.
  16. i posted before and apparrantly got removed somehow. i use the coleco to play 2600 games on it. the quality is far better. the atari color and darknes arent that good on a modded atari, especially when compared to using the atari module on the coleco.
  17. i bought it for 30 at king soopers. also walgreens sells them for that price
  18. Thanks. The main reason to buy an FB2 is just to get some new joysticks to use with a real Atari 2600. A classic Atari 2600 joystick costs around 15 bucks, so getting 2 joysticks for 20 bucks is a pretty good deal. and fb3 controllers are worth the 30 dollars i paid for the system. Joysticks from fb3 are a 30 year dream come true
