That's interesting and thank you a million times for the image. Is the replacement lid from Best Electronics, and if so did you buy the entire top with lid or just the lid? I called them the other day and he asked me to try a few things first, which I did, but sadly nothing is helping. Super nice guy by the way. I opened the CD unit and it doesn't have that round plastic, white piece from your image. It didn't have hole through it either. Oddly enough I can't seem to figure out what would have ever been catching the lid to hold it it place and the left inside plastic doesn't have any latching mechanism or plastic catch that I can see. Nothing appears broken either. Any chance you can pop the lid off of yours and take a picture of what you're seeing? So we know there are lid variations at least. I have another unit on the way and I'll see what the story there is as well.

I just picked up a a Jaguar CD and the lid opens but doesn't 'latch' to stay in the open position. I was about to open it up and take a look but I'm not sure what I'm looking for since all of these CD players are different. Does anyone have a picture of the inside lid latching mechanism? Very much appreciated. For example, in this image the lid is staying up on its own. Mine is currently flopping back down.

Following up on this in case anyone else is having trouble. I've ruled out any Mac Fat/Fat32 formatting as I couldn't get the GD to recognize when formatted on a PC or either. We're both confident that the memory card socket has a bad connection. I attempted to reflow the solder but the part is so small I can barely see it (I'm working on getting a digital microscope for this type of thing) but in the end SainT was gracious enough to take a look for me.

Thank you for the reply, and I'll respond via email. If there's anything I can share I'll add it later for others.

I formatted a brand new SanDisk 32GB card as FAT32 on a Mac, added some games and now the card is unreadable with the message "Memory Card Unreadable" (I've done this multiple times now) I even tried 'SD Card Formatter' but nothing helps. Note that initially I just took the SD Card out of the package, added games, and it played fine. Sadly I only got one days worth of play before wanting to add more games and then seeing this message. Has anyone else had this problem and is it Mac related? Lastly, I just jiggled the SD Card for a second or two and the GD said something to the effect of "reading directory" and the "Memory Card Unreadable" message disappeared but it didn't display any files. Anyone have any ideas?

Just following up on this if anyone is looking for the Cat Trax version of the Video Game Brain Videoplexer Six Pack. https://www.ebay.com/itm/115296925102?hash=item1ad83b75ae:g:NoAAAOSwsJ5iMSfI&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoJBXDkP1RE3arErQDu1xcJnKjbcMt3Gswi9PY0ByIX7Mpf7uZo%2F4dD3voyAKLVwRCAe0ntDl9v3XP8Bdfbl8pWnYXlTabNZm8eF9VO9ejGvjeCNZW18OA%2BoyqNmkEr1d%2FizQo67DsnejMmb3ePqYA0fOhszpa3qzL%2F19XsxG1s3%2BIY%2BSlHJIWRhJPWXJVSRkipBS8BHIkBUpHoHLrXt6jis%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR87_1urjYA

Thanks Chris, I ended up finding one on eBay and probably paid waaaay too much for it. I saved up all of my money as a kid to buy this game and I really wanted it back in my collection. Now if I can figure out how to get message alerts here I will be all set. Sheesh.

Yikes! It's been 10 years! Updated the AtariAge Dashboard Feed plugin for WordPress 5.7.1. Changes include adding the AtariAge logo to the WordPress plugin page banner and we added an icon as well! (Hope you don't mind Albert The small 'configure' link has been moved to the left to get it out of the way of the AtariAge shield and I updated a few links. Overall this is really meant to comply with the latest version of WordPress and to let everyone know it's still being supported. And will someone please leave a nice review of the plugin on WordPress, it's pretty barren over there Please let me know if you have ideas for any updates and of course if you spot anything broken. Download the latest plugin here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/atariage-dashboard-feed/ Download an older version here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/atariage-dashboard-feed/advanced/ View screenshots: https://doc4design.com/atariage-dashboard-feed/

Looking for a boxed copy of Spider-Man for the Atari 2600. Prefer the cleanest CIB copy available but would consider others. Mostly sentimental in nature, let me know if you have one to sell. Thanks

Wow, that is one nice machine. Emailing you now.

Kyle22, Holy crap that was harsh I take it you're not a fan of the XEGS. That particular system happens to have a color scheme that goes with the shoot. Keep in mind this is photo shoot is not specific to Atari either, more of a representation of the era. If I start adding elements that are too recognizable I run the risk of distractions. As a side note: I am an avid collector of Atari games and systems.

I'm hoping someone out there has an Atari XE game system they would like to sell. I'm only really interested if it's in great shape. I don't need the peripherals and the machine doesn't actually need to work. I plan on using it in an upcoming photo shoot. If you have one for sale let me know the price and send over a few pics if you can. I would really appreciate it.

Updated the plugin to version 2.5.1 which flows better with the overall look of WordPress' dashboard widgets. Other updates include an enlarged AtariAge logo which is now a link directly to AtariAge and the logo no longer appears on the "configure" screen which was a mistake that I didn't notice initially. Overall this update is meant to comply with the latest version 3.2.1 and alters the aesthetics for a more pleasing layout. If anyone has suggestions on making this plugin better please let me know.

A.J., The font is called "Steeltongs" and I ran into randomly while mocking up the joke shirt. You can download it for free here: http://www.dafont.com/steeltongs.font

Steve, Good points here, I agree the text should be white as well. As for the button placement, I'm going to try a version with the cord and see how that works out.

It looks more like an Atari joystick that way. I understand why you want it front and center for design purposes, but I also think that having it on the left would/could/should work, because it would be asymmetrical, thereby calling attention to the fact that there's no matching red button on the other side-- which is the point of the message. But it's your design, so you should make it look however you want it to look. The rest of us are just "back seat designers." Michael Honestly it shouldn't look any more like an Atari Joystick with the button to the left, or centered for that matter, since the design itself is so iconic. Literally no other company made this style of controller if I'm not mistaken, meaning this shape will always be identified with either Atari, retro video games or hopefully video games as a whole (that last one might just be me hoping for a little too much in a world where the Playstation controller is more often used as an icon to identify games on phone screens and websites). Thoughts?
