My order confirmation email back on 8/19/19 says pre-order position #344. Today RetroHQ says order #583. No idea what is up. At least I have eproms / boards to make up to 60 carts.

As somebody with an active pre-order, thank you. Appreciate you allowing others to build. Be well.

Sorry. Couldn't see the switch in the picture. Still think this is a power mod.

To me it looks like someone did a power and video mod. The channel selector switch looks like it is missing which means the RF modulator was removed. If video is composite (and not channel 3 / 4) then definitely both mods were done

Nice job DrVenkman

What comes to my mind looking at the pictures of Woz with the unit, controller and hat is: paid product placement to try to establish legitimacy.

Whataburger. Nothing else compares

Also not all games had overlays. Might want to have Overlay column to help you note which games are complete

OSSC works great for RGB modified systems https://www.videogameperfection.com/products/open-source-converter/ More info: http://junkerhq.net/xrgb/index.php?title=OSSC EDIT Surprisingly there is a seller offering it via Amazon Prime: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QF95QP3

I like when ROMs only are put up for sale. I rather just play a game than collect a released version. I've paid for ROMs that are easily findable. I'm probably the exception on that.

The 4 port power mod is easy. Console5 sells a $5 kit with all needed parts. https://console5.com/store/atari-5200-4-port-powered-switchbox-bypass-modification-kit.html

Just order in AUD. PayPal will convert to USD. Google search the conversion first if you want to know how much in USD before clicking buy. I'd suggest PM Yurkie if you need more info

Yurkie is on AtaiAge too!

I've ordered multiple products multiple times from the USA shop: http://etim.net.au/shop/shop.php?crn=207. Never had a problem getting anything. When I ordered they were shipped out of Ohio by Yurkie of Assembler Games / Oldschool Gamer forums. 77 AUD = 52.06 USD. Just order and PayPal will charge you USD equivalent.

@Giles N How to get on cart? AtariMax Ultimate SD Cart: https://www.atarimax.com/5200sd/documentation/index.html

Why not? Lots of folks will soon be playing.

Yes. Good way to easily take them out. With practice you should be able to play one game for as long as you want.

#344 Good for you SainT that there is this strong initial demand. I made over 115 different carts just for myself. No need to make more or use a skunkboard. Thank you for making these.

Are these going to be free to download? Or for purchase? Thank you for the conversions.

Not in any special order: Miner 2049 Hero Space Dungeon Robotron 2084 Berzerk

Also get an AtariMax SD cart so you can play every released game, proto, demo.

While I respect and admire the boxed cart releases of the conversions, I have no interest to have them as collectables. For other systems I've gladly paid $10 - $20 for a ROM version of a game I want to play. I would do the same for the Jaguar if ROMs of those releases were available. I really enjoyed when CJ was freely giving away the ST conversions. Made a number of them into carts for myself (never sold any). Too bad folks had to ruin that by selling them.

Make sure the Wico controllers work. They use analog pots which can wear out. I have not been able to source replacement pots.

Its an old Sean Kelly made multicart. Got mine many years ago. Remember mailing a check to Sean and then weeks later the cart showed up. This was before the AtariMax carts. It was a great way BITD to be able to play protos and all but one of the released games.

That is the normal way rf cable is connected on 4 port units. (Don't know about the red wire crossbow mentioned above)
