Tutorial: NES controller MOD to work on Sega Master System

[Tutorial: NES controller MOD to work on Sega Master System]

This seems almost too easy to be true lol. I'll be giving it a shot tomorrow!

[Why do YOU collect Atari 2600 games?]

 

Games are supposed to be fun and all that. Not an exercise in learning and drudgery. VCS games are timeless and that's why they're still being made today.

 

Exactly!

[How Many 2600's Do You Own]

 

I'm sure I tried it with my Sears VA II. I don't remember if they worked or not but I don't *think* they did. I could be entirely wrong about that, though.

 

If you just want the controllers, just go buy a Sears VA II like I did. I only care about an actual 2800 because it's rare and collectible. It's probably my "most irrational want".

Everyone needs a few good irrational wants!

[How Many 2600's Do You Own]

Most of mine I got from big lots on eBay that at the time I figured that after I took out what I wanted, buying it all in bulk, and then selling what I don't need later that in the long run it would be cheaper than buying everything individually. I also look for stuff that the seller and/or other bidders don't notice or know is in the lots. For an example, I got one in a lot that had two prototype carts that apparently only I noticed because I was the only one that bid on it. So, now I have doubles of doubles of doubles that someday I'll sort through and then sell.

That's a really good plan!

[How Many 2600's Do You Own]

There was a time when nobody wanted them and you could get them at garage sales, flea markets, etc for very little, even for free at the end of the day.

Man, I came in to late...

[How Many 2600's Do You Own]

Think I got mine all on Ebay. Mine were all under $50, including at least a few games with each.

 

I have a Sears heavy sixer, a 4 switch Atari woody, and a 7800, all boxed. I used to have a Sears VA II but pretty sure I sold it - I decided at one point that all I really *need* is a 7800, and beyond that all I really *want* is a heavy sixer, one proper Atari-branded VCS, and maybe someday if I'm lucky again a 2800. (I say again because I found one boxed up in a store once and passed on it like a doofus.)

Ive actually been considering getting a 7800 in place of my 2600 but the compatibility issues on certain models makes me nervous. And man, I'd want a 2800 for the controllers alone! Now that I've thought about it, would those controllers work on a 2600/7800?

[Do you know the Official Atari Handshake?]

My guess is that since it claims the source is from the female vice president then during one of their company stoner parties(average work day) she probably made it up as a joke because she thought it would look funny for a bunch of dudes to shake hands like that and it just stayed "official" because everyone was too stoned to get the joke.

I can totally accept that as truth. Lol

[Ature Deluxe edition: Interest check in additional copies being made]

Thank you for the update (even though I'm a little late checking on it lol) I'm really pumped to play this game on real hardware:)

[Atari 2600 Pause Kit Now Available!]

I'm slowly gathering up an idea list for mods to do to my small 2600 and I'm pretty sure this one is definitly going to make it in!

[Atari 2600 Pause Kit Now Available!]

Yea, I was just more or less displaying my excitement.

[2600 Donald Duck cover design]

That is super cool, thank you for showing us all!

[Atari 2600 Pause Kit Now Available!]

Why am I just hearing about this stuff now?!

[The Knight Rider 2600 project]

This thread is too much! So much rad lol

[My Pet Project - MMDC Retro Player]

Wow man, that's impressive! I dig it:)

["Quick Gun Joyball" controller?]

I feel like I'd buy one and then never use it... Or use it exclusively lol

[How Many 2600's Do You Own]

Where do you all get all of these? I feel so under funded with just the one 2600 now...

[Trump Invaders hack wanted!]

Hahaha this was the most civilized "politics" board I've ever seen in any forum.

[Where Did You Get Your First Atari 2600 and What Type Was it?]

My first one wasn't that long ago, Buti was helping a friend move and his wife told me to take his box with his smaller rerelease of the 2600 and like 30 games because they didn't play it anymore. Beat payment I've ever received!

[Do you know the Official Atari Handshake?]

Hahaha what?! Why?.. just why? I'm not complaining though lol

[The Ultimate Atari Flashback!]

Dood, this looks amazing!

[What's your budget for collecting?]

I'm pretty new to collecting but I usually won't do more then $10 a week, but there's also not a lot of retro game shops around me lol

[My first 2600 review - HALO]

Good review man, I absolutely love this game. It was one of the first homebrew I got!

[Should I Sell my Collection?]

Id have to go with keeping the BCS and your most favorite carts but get rid of the others and replace em with a harmony cart.

[Ben Heck's hand soldered portable 2600]

This is amazing! I've seen a few of his other vids but must have missed these ones lol.

[Why do YOU collect Atari 2600 games?]

Honestly, I was never really into video games at all until I was given a 2600 just a few months ago. But I fell in love with it as both a machine and because of the fact that it is still being produced for. I love the idea of this many people still playing and creating for a medium that is now decades old. Not to mention the games are actually good and hold my attention... Unlike new game systems.
