I would like to be added to the list. In purple, + PokeyMax and Yamaha. thanks!!

My exact situation... lol. In fact, I just got the 7800 for Father's Day.

Ok, thank you! I put my email in on the site. Hopefully that means I will get notified when they become available again.

Anyone have any idea when the "Concerto Reservation" will be back in stock? Just got a 7800, and I would LOVE to reserve one!

Do you have a wiring diagram for that adapter? I'd like to try making one. Thanks!

I got it built and working! Almost every game I've thrown at it works perfectly after centering the dot with Pete's Test Cartridge, though some games require making adjustments to the pots even after centering everything. For instance, Ms. Pac-Man & Galaxian require adjustments to the pots every time... Jr. Pac-Man however, I can't get to work no matter how much I adjust the pots. And of course, the analog only games don't work (next project, maybe? lol). So, overall, I'm 99% happy with it. After everything I read, I knew going in that there would be a few problem games. So, big thank you to everyone that chimed in with help. It is very much appreciated!

Thanks you, everyone! All of this info is very helpful!

Ok, awesome! Thank you very much. I really appreciate the help, and that helps a lot.

I built a 2600/7800 arcade controller a few weeks ago, and now I'd like to try my hand at building one for the 5200. I am seeing however, that this is a whole different beast... digital to analog and all that... I've seen how some people went about doing it, but the ones that caught my attention are the ones that use variable resistors... from what I've seen, it looks like you can really dial it in that way, with the added benefit of being able to use the horizontal pot with some games like a paddle. The problem is that although I am handy with a soldering iron, I am not an electronics engineer by a long shot. I am learning, but I have a good way to go. So my question is, has anyone built this circuit using pots, rather than fixed resistors? But I guess the more important question is, would any of you who has done this be willing to help? Even a simple drawing of how you wired everything would be fantastic, because I am stumped on this one. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks! PS: I have a great schematic of a circuit using fixed resistors and transistors... but I don't have enough background in electronics to use that drawing with variable resistors... I am a total newb... lol
