1.) Does it work well with Mac OS X, as far as copying files to/from the system? 2.) Is it really worth picking up?

My personal faves: Mega Man Battle Network 1 & 2 (realtime battles...they rock!) Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis (the Final Fantasy Tactics games are based on the TO series) Advanced Wars (probably the best military turnbased strategy game around) Phantasy Star Collection

I know it's a longshot, but I figured I'd try! Up for trade: Atari 2600 (Sears TeleGames 6-switch) AC adapter 2 joysticks Asteroids Defender Mario Bros All items are in excellent condition. I can also get an RF switch if you need it (I built mine out of parts from Radio Shack), and possibly some paddles. Maybe a few more games, too...I'm flexible. I just bought a 7800, and I'd really like a 5200 to round it off, but I don't have much cash at the moment.

I'll get a 5200 eventually, I'm sure...just gotta take a break for a while. 13 consoles is enough for now!

Anyone want to hook me up?

What does that mean? I was watching some on eBay, and they all flew well over $100.

Well, the 5200 flew outta my price range too fast, so I had to settle for a 7800. Don't kill me, guys. I'm still going to make some 5200 mods, though. Should be fun.

I would have, but that was out of my price range at this point. So I ended up ordering a 7800. Don't hate me. I'm still going to attempt to build that 2600-to-5200 joystick adapter, though, so I'm sure I'll need a 5200 owner to test it for me.

I'm undecided. I want to "upgrade" from my 2600, to either a 5200 w/adapter or a 7800. Both systems have good libraries and whatnot...but I can't figure out which one to go with! Anyone have some recommendations? Pros/cons?

Doesn't the 7800 use the same RF switch as the 2600?

Just like the 5200 one. That's what I thought. Could you provide a zoomed-in shot, so I know which one to get rid of? And I assume this is a 5mm LED as well?

Yeah, I've seen your work. Very impressive indeed. I plan to make a similar adapter myself, as well as try to build the 2600-to-5200 joystick adapter.

Can you just swap the LED out, or do you need to do any other type of modification?

YES! Blue LEDs rock! You will tell me how you did that...

I know there's the various joystick mods...but are they any cool power LED replacement ones, video outs, etc? If I get one, I want to do all manner of cool modifications to it... (forgive me for cluelessnes...I've never even touched a 7800 before)

That's a possibility, too. I've been looking into the 7800s...as long as there's plenty of cool mods I can make.

I'm thinking of "upgrading" my 2600, by replacing it with a 5200 and 2600 adapter. How much should I be looking to spend? I don't want to get ripped off...

I dunno if anyone's seen these machines, but we've got a few up here in my lovely state of CT. They jack you 50 cents to play either game, which stinks. The other thing I noticed is that Ms Pac-Man seems to run VERY fast...at least twice normal speed! Anyone else play these? I think I need one for my house.

What exactly do you mean? Sorry...I had meant to post that response as a new thread. This should clarify things: http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=24459

I accidentally posted this as a reply in another thread...oops. Anyway, is there an "all-in-one" controller solution for the 5200? I've heard all the horror stories about the stock sticks breaking. What I wanna know is: 1) Can you use the PC-to-5200 joystick converter along with a 2600 keypad, rather than an actual 5200 controller? 2) If so, do you need to "mod" a 2600 keypad? How? 3) Any other solutions? Sorry for being a pest. I appreciate any help. Thanks guys!

I just want to know one thing: Is there an all-in-one controller mod/fix/replacement?

I've never seen one of these at all and they're missing on the 2600 controler page as well: http://www.atariage.com/controller_list.ht...l?SystemID=2600 Does anybody have a picture of such a stick? I'm really curious how it looks like. Greetings, Manuel They're on this page: http://www.atariage.com/2600/archives/cont...lers_atari.html
