  1. some good stuff about cleaning your console & controllers here. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/184296-slowcoders-guide-to-cleaning-up-your-2600/

     

    some good stuff here too: http://atariage.com/howto/index.html

     

    for modding, shipping will probably be the killer to and from your location. what general location are you ? shop wisely look at "user feedback" in forums ect.

     

    old CRT TV's look great with these consoles IMO and doesn't have to be huge


  2. does your TV have a coax cable connection on the back ?

     

    if so as JeremiahK said use that. in the source menu you may have "air" or "digital cable" options

     

    does your heavy sixer have a channel select switch ? it it probably on channel 3 already but may be set to channel 2 sometime you have to have the TV set to search for these channels

     

    if no coax connection on TV go the VCR route

     

    keep us posted ;)


  3. a previouse attempt of finding some random sized thing

    was really tight in a homebrew I had got

     

    the tray liners are perfect for original boxes but had to trim it just a bit off the top & bottom for Deathchase/NOX, sleeves were great for this release as well as I had peeled the white protective layer off to use them :)

    I like the plastic tray liner as well 'cause it's easier to get to the cart.


  4. my first suggestion would be to hook it up get some friends together & play way past your hands cramping-up :thumbsup:

     

    next maybe put on craigslist with a "will be gone next weekend" sort of thing then off to Goodwill if needs be

     

     

    The cut on that thing with the exposed PCB looks way too clean to be a broken M-Network cart.

    yeah that's the bottom half of a disassembled M-Network Cart .... the part that goes into the slot

     

     

    Maybe its the bottom to super challenge?

    if you blow-up the pic you can see the bottom half of Super Challenge Football so it's another game ( or a dupe :P )

     

    I will guess Armor Ambush 'cause these guessing games are fun :-D


  5. they used 2 prong plugs on everything in there .... is it back on the right spot ?

     

    there are also some very thin wires on the speaker itself

     

    I have gotten a pong unit with a bad speaker before, the spare speaker I had worked (now I haz no spare )


  6. I wonder if reflowing all the solder joints under the IC chip would help.

     

    my eyesight is bad and I usually don't see a cracked solder joint. is that a big capacitor to the left of the IC? is that joint ok ?

     

    seems odd you get a good picture but the whole game doesn't appear
