Does anyone have a loose working Ballblazer for the 7800 theyre willing to part with reasonably? Let me know. Thanks.

Anyone have a CV Super Game Module for sale? If so, hit me up. Thanks.

Recently purchased a ColecoVision Ultimate SD wafer cartridge from Kynikos. Excellent price, great to deal with, packaged well and arrived quickly. Definitely recommend.

Thank you so much! Really appreciate your help!!

Hi. Yeah, I was on the forums, like I said, and was unable to find it. Do you happen to have a link to it? I may be totally blind. Lol.

Hi everyone, Just picked up the aforementioned SD Multi-Cart second hand and it did not have the original SD card. The atarimax forums look abandoned and I'm looking for the original cvsdos.sto file that is needed to boot the cart. I did searches and dug around there with no luck. Does anyone have a functioning link with this file or can anyone copy it from their working cart? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Purchased an AV modded ColecoVision console. Arrived packed well and working flawlessly. Thanks!

Mine is on the fritz and i dont have the time and patience to fix it. Im currently selling it along with two controllers and a SAC. Im looking for an AV modded ColecoVision unit with excellent picture. If you have one for sale, let me know. If youre willing to accept a trade-in to cover part of the cost, that would be great but not a necessity. I also dont need controllers. Thanks.

No. The suggestion is to use a black magic marker and gently “paint” the edges, which is what I did on my Lynx 1. Looks great.

Hey everyone - unfortunately I have to part ways with this colecovision. Its a Canadian version (NTSC). Comes with two working controllers that Ive taken apart and cleaned. Theyre fine. Also comes with a Super Action Controller. Its working in an acceptable manner. The white rocker panel that is supposed to go above the metal contacts was cracked when I bought it. I removed the cracked rocker panel and bent the metal pins up, so it works ok but needs a new rocker panel (which can be 3D printed) or it can be used for parts. Finally, the console is in working condition. The case is pretty clean and labels are in tact. I was getting some rf video noise, so I took it apart and thought the rf port had a cold solder joint, which it turns out, it did. However, there ended up being other issues and now Im getting significant noise and poor picture quality. A composite mod should do the trick, but since I have no coleco experience, Im going to leave that to the experts. Either way, the sum is greater than its parts, for sure. I just honestly dont have time to learn the workings of a new console. I would also entertain trades for another clean ColecoVision- dont need controllers or power supply. Would prefer it modded - could add cash to deal. MSG me with any questions. Thanks!

Perfect. Appreciate the input.

So is there a difference between simply placing the 4 port bios chip in the two port and buying the EPROM that was mentioned? Will the four port chip work to restore functionality for those three games?

I believe thats accurate. I would add that if were doing mods to these systems, the likelihood is that we also have the 2600 as well, and probably hooked up. Nice to have for prosperity, but would you really use it?

Awesome. Just wanted to make sure. Thx

Hi everyone. I know there were a few games that wont work on the original two port BIOS. Console5 had sold some replacements, however they told me they had quality issues and dont have any currently. Question is can I simply swap out the 2 port BIOS chip for a working 4 port BIOS chip? Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply, but I wanted to ask the question here, as its the most relevant topic. I have a two port and want to update the BIOS to the four port. Console5, based on convos I had with the owner, said that their chips were defective and are in the process of sourcing better chips. That said, can I replace the 2 port BIOS chip with any standard, working 4 port BIOS chip? Just want to be sure before I take the time to pull out the current chip. Thanks

Yes, I saw that on his response on the UAV thread (which needs to broken up, because DAMN it's long). At any rate, in my opinion, he's doing the Lords work by creating relatively simple solutions for the archaic machines. He seems to be the only one. I hope he and his situation improve soon.

Thats exactly what I did. The expansion plate is tricky, though, as its some of the only free space available for ports but obviously moves around a lot. For mine, I put the power there and the AV next to it. Ill have to find some pics from when I did it. It was a while ago. But yes, it was tight putting the case back on after soldering the uav to the 4050. The first time I only soldered a few pins but I didnt like how unstable it was. The second time I basically soldered the whole thing on. Lol.

I would love to do this mod, but unfortunately I have time constraints with my job and family, etc. Have you thought about possibly manufacturing these (or building these) with all the components already soldered on? I'm obviously not familiar with how you've had these built, but with no other 5200 mods currently on market (i did some digging, there aren't), I bet they would sell like hotcakes (if you wanted them to). I would certainly pay more for that work already done, mainly because I don't have every single component in my tool chest here at home and would take forever and a day to source everything. I'm sure most people would feel the same. Just a thought.

Hey Scott - just PMd you. Thanks.

I had a similar issue with the 5200 uav mod I did, however, I was able to get it to go. It was tight, esp doing the power mod at the same time. My 5200 performs well and I dont mind composite. Only one of my TVs has an s-video input anyway.

No doubt, but family comes first, as you said. Loved the simplicity of his solution - to put the uav directly on top of the 4050, solder it in and done. Im just surprised nobody else has come up with a mod.

Hey everyone, Ive done a few UAV Mods on some four ports and they work perfectly, however, I understand Bryan is away from the hobby currently. I did some digging for alternatives around here and found Crossbows reference to http://electronicsentimentalities.com/Assembled%20Mods.html, however it appears he is also going through a rough patch and is no longer providing kits. Does anyone know of anyone else making 5200 mod kits? Thanks all!

Hi Bryan, ignore my request. Wishing you and your family the best.

Hi Shawn - interested. PM'd
