Nice. PM incoming.

Nice. OEM AC adapter?

I think I want this... Any issues with the cart pin connections and reading carts?

Doesn't look like they've been available for years. A fresh run of these would be much welcomed. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

Count me in as well! This would be so cool!

Bought a Duo M2 power adapter for my Sega Genesis/Sega CD. Came fast and in great shape. Thanks!

Rescued three 5200 carts from his Goodwill donation - Pitfall II, Dreadnaught Factor and James Bond. All arrived quickly and in nice shape. Thanks!

Interested in the TRIO-M2. Just sent you a PM. Thanks!

That's not a correct assumption. These screens rot even with no use. I also a few years ago bought a BNIB Microvision which was DOA. These screens are our best hope at keeping these systems alive. Now if someone can also come up with a paddle mod to keep those from failing as well, that would be sweet.

I have this EXACT problem from a unit I just received via Ebay. The guy I bought it with sold it as tested and working, and had a picture showing it booted up. He said there was no audio from the game, only the CD, but he was selling without a mixing cable so I figured that was the only issue with the unit. However upon receiving the unit, it just doesn't boot. I tried it with two different Genesis consoles as well. When first powered on, I'd get the window graphic but no text; when I hit reset, I get the text to put the disc in and hit start, but the tray doesn't open and the access light doesn't blink. BIOS 1.10 and everything. There was one time I booted up and the graphics started to get all static-y and distorted, but that was it. I never get the music playing (which is a bummer in and of itself, because BIOS 1.0 music is WAAY better than 2.0 IMO). So was the guy lying on the listing, or does anyone think something got jarred during shipping I could check? Also, has anyone else used Chris at Mobius and can vouch for his services if I end up needing them?

A quick update - I sent out an email to Telegames inquiring if this could have been them, and got an email back that pretty much removes them from inclusion here. They wrote back saying they only did proper catalogs and not a xeroxed list of products, and that they didn't sell their products cheap just to recoup cost on their NOS investments. So, I guess we can strike Telegames from the list. Keep coming with your suggestions and I'll keep investigating!

Yeah thanks all. Telegames rings a bell, I'm going to write them and see if they have any archives they can pull for me. And great stories to hear from all of you!

I can't peg the year, but I want to say around 1985-86. Definitely post-crash. It had been a couple of years since I moved on from my home consoles and onto the Commodore 64, but there was a period where I started to pull out my old consoles - Intellivision, Colecovision, and the 5200 - and I immediately fell back in love with the 5200. I remember looking around for games for the 5200 I didn't have, especially since bargain bins were full of cheap games after the video game crash - but I remember having trouble finding 5200 games in store. I stopped by my local Toys R Us and asked the kid behind the cage if they had any 5200 games left, and they said no, but he wrote down an address for me to write to where I may be able to mail order some games. This TRU was in suburban Chicago, BTW (Merrillville, IN, near Southlake Mall). So I wrote to this company (I *think* they were in California, maybe Texas?) and a couple of weeks later I got this multipage list of products they were selling for cheap. It wasn't a catalog, more like a Xeroxed listing of products. I mean, brand new factory sealed games for like $5, new controllers and accessories. I remember specifically, I ordered the Gremlins game for $8 and the roller controller for $15 (!). I think I spent $35 in total for a few games, a new joystick and the roller controller. Recently, I've been really curious who this mystery company was. It definitely wasn't Atari. Could it have been Best back then? And a bonus, if perhaps someone would have a copy of that mail order product list, it would be amazing to see that again. Oh, and extra kudos to that kid in the TRU games cage who actually knew, long after Atari stopped production of the 5200, where I could still buy games for that system!

I'll rescue a few carts from ya. PM coming your way.

Bought the 5200 flip lid posted here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/283202-fs-atari-5200-controller-cover-two-4-ports-controller-bottom-covers/?do=findComment&comment=4117764 Great communication and packaging, received in expected condition. Thank you!

Well I'm in, I hope you guys reach your goal. FYI, I've been around some Kickstarter campaigns before that failed because their goal was too high - people are hesitant to back because they have low faith the project will reach its goal. But sometimes if goals are set a bit lower, they meet and then plow through their target goals. Just a thought. I hope this does happen. Good guys behind a great product.

Very nice! Just pre-ordered two! Just curious, what kind of USB cable should I get for this? Do I need to worry about getting one with certain specifications?

Bought a modded 5200 and lot of games. Accepted my offer and shipped quickly. Everything arrived in tip top shape. Thanks!

I might have missed it on a previous page, what's nurmix going to do for the new company? As. Soon as I saw Tommy's name with this I immediately figured Paul would also be involved somehow. Happy to hear I was right - congrats Paul! Intellivisionaries FTW!

Interested in 10 - TSR Endless Quest Book Lot Pillars of Pentegarn #3 - Return to Brookmere #4 What are the condition of the books?

I just picked up a copy of Space Shuttle from Best Electronics, but it didn't include the overlays. I'd like to print my own if possible, but I want to do so in high quality and as close to the originals as possible. I know some have had experience with printing overlays here, so wanted to ask for advice. Since I'm only going to print a single sheet, I'm not really thinking cost will be a concern. If it costs me $20, so be it. So two questions - what material was used on the original overlays, and how could I go about printing with that textured surface? I could always do laminate but that's too smooth if I want to do this as authentic as possible. And two, what resolution/dpi would I need the source to be at? What is recommended for printing the overlays? Or hey, if someone has a spare set of Space Shuttle overlays, spare me the time (although it sounds like it would be a fun project) and let me know!

What do you mean, it is a clone of Pac Man Plus or is that the name of a homebrew dev (sorry I don't follow the hombrew scene) ?
