[Seaweed Assault is Finally Finished (Atari 2600 Game)]

See if this is better:

kind of irony really. you use the fb2 controllers in your pic and we are discussing how this game wont play on an fb2. by the way great job RT. this is a sweet game.

[Seaweed Assault is Finally Finished (Atari 2600 Game)]

i love seaweed assault and wanted to see how good it was on my flashback 2 and it doesnt work

[Double Dragon XM]

I move I used to beat the game was just the elbow.

agreed. i beat the whole game on xbox live arcade without dying once using the old elbow 99% of the time

[Flashback 3 dismantling]

and yes it is v3.3. and sorry about "bluriness". i am taking pics with my iphone.

[Flashback 3 dismantling]

do u have links to the pics of other system by chance?

 

edit: nm. didnt realize you posted a link

[Right in the Middle of my FB2+ mod - quest about onboard/cart switch]

What did you use to do the actual cutting? I don't really have a lot of tools, and I'm not really interested in buying something just for this.

 

I guess if I'm going to cover up the cuts with the guide then I don't need to be very precise . . .

i used a drill with very small drill bit to make a ton of holes to perferate. top and bottom drilled from top first then drill sides from bottom inside reinforcement tabs. then used razor blade to cut out and then clean up. then you have to widen the sides, so use razor to trim down more til the reinforcement tabs are gone. and like i said, very very carefully cut tabs off the sides of the cart guide. cut the long length first, then cut off right under the lip. otherwise you can break part of the lip off

[Right in the Middle of my FB2+ mod - quest about onboard/cart switch]

as you can see it sticks out a little, but does not look like a hack job. like all the others i have seen. no offense to anyone who put guide internally, i just dont like seeing my cuts even as clean as the may be.

[Right in the Middle of my FB2+ mod - quest about onboard/cart switch]

I think I understand what you are saying, but the term "slot plastic" isn't completely clear.

 

So your cart guide sits on top of the FB? What did you use to secure it?

commercial strength hot glue. slot plastic= cart guide

[Right in the Middle of my FB2+ mod - quest about onboard/cart switch]

also if you have a harmony cart, not all the incompatible games on compatability list are actually incompatible. most of them work for me.. even the 2 that have a fixed version work for me without the fixed version.(decathlon and robot tank)

[Right in the Middle of my FB2+ mod - quest about onboard/cart switch]

I'm not sure what I did. I disconnected 13-24 and still had the display problem. When I disconnected everything the Flashback worked again.

 

I went through tonight and reconnected everything, checking for continuity to the edge connector and testing video output every 4 wires or so. I finally got it to work.

 

I used gnash's work around for pad 20 (wire to the 5th lead on the ROM area directly above pad 20). I had to solder it 2x as the first time I only got the 2k carts working. I reset the joint further "down" away from the chip and then carts above 2k worked as expected. Was pleased to see Asteroids with no flicker!

 

 

Now I just have to start cutting on the case to place my switch and cart port . . .

just thought i would show you a few pics. if you want clean on the outside you can see where top and bottom cuts are. you have to be very careful to trim tabs off of the sides of the slot plastic. the side cuts go to inside of reinforcment tabs on inside, then trim down enough to remove reinforcement area completely on both sides.

[Vectrex Controller]

I have an xbox arcade stick in wood case that i modded to work on vectrex. I also added a potentiometer for driving for the one and only game that uses the analog (its late and i cant remember its name right now) for 40 dollars. If anyone is interested i can post pics.

[Right in the Middle of my FB2+ mod - quest about onboard/cart switch]

i had wires 16 and 17 backwards which caused this to happen

[Flashback 3 dismantling]

i have not found a problem yet except that i cant mod like i did like one of my fb2+'s. got lucky got one at a thrift store for 3 bucks and one at a yard sale for 4 bucks. what were the odds i would get 2 fb2+'s. if you dont like stiff controllers like me, these ones are 1000 times better.

[Flashback 3 dismantling]

i took apart the new atari flashback 3 to show the boards used in them.

I like the fb3 sticks because they have more throw than any other atari joystick. i dont feel like im fighting it.

[Heavy Sixer problems]

nm sixers are different

[atari 7800 screen gets blurry when moving character]

edit: nm. looks ok on atari 2600 coax cable and if on channel 2. weird cause original 7800 cable works fine on my intellivision. i hate that i have to put it on channel 2.

[The first DK Arcade has hit the secondary market]

this is from the same guy, did he buy 2 of them?

 

look at his feedback, he is a reseller of homebrews. at least he isnt asking a few hundred dollars for it.....

there is another one up now.. shitty way to sell them all.... at super high prices. only the rich can afford to buy games this way. i want one but cant afford ebay prices.

[I'm once again a proud Intellivision owner!]

i just got my very first intellivision about a week agao and i have 30 games for it already. i love this system. the side buttons could be designed better but the direction pads are great.

[Intellivision Purchases and Deals]

Sucks the way people ship stuff. I had a sealed xbox game that was shipped with a label slapped on the outer wrapping of the game for all to see. Im lucky i even got it. Lucky for me it survived.

[SG-1000 adapter for Colecovision (?)]

i would want a multi cart and adapter

[Intellivision's "[Do Not] Insert to this Line"]

_{this problem is not due to poor contact. i did measurements and the cartridges are the problem. if you look inside the cartridges the contacts are very short before it goes to coated circuits. so you are pushing the carts in to where the systems contacts are actually touching the coated circuit board inside the game as apposed to the actual circuits. stupid flaw if you ask me. they could have done it right in the first place by making the traces (contacts) longer in the carts.}

[My Coleco Joystick Mod]

Thank you everyone. And thank you Yurkie for being a cool dude. The disc top on the controllers made them absolutely useless to me. ( I heard people who palm em' like em') There is a good throw in it now and complete accuracy. Still got my ass whooped in Cosmic Avenger though. Wish i still had the arcade. Luvved it.

[how do i start tac scan]

nm. cant edit post out completely. i found out it goes in second player port.

[A/V mod?]

i can do it for you if you like. if you need a referance just contact wiicrew. just so you are aware most games colors look right with an a/v mod but some have slighly off colors. just the way it is. get an atari adapter for the coleco for the best 2600 picture quality.

[My Wii2600 and more controller mods]

i am waiting for a driving controller, but i think i can make it work just fine.
