Rybags Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I have the opportunity to possibly aquire one of these. Does it work on the 7800? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApolloBoy Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I don't see any reason why it wouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I don't think it will. I know one problem was that the plugs for the joystick ports bearly reached. Remember, the 2600's ports are on the back, while the 7800's are on the front. Tempest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 An extender would be no problem. But, it's on eBay and has gone over $50 - don't think I'll bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JihemB Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Hello. For the records, I answer 13 years later : Yes it works ! I just performed the test on PAL Atari 7800+ PAL Cpmputer. I was a little bit difficult to plug the joystick socket without prolongator, but I succeeded anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilarious, and you rock that you did answer!! I had the opportunity to buy one of these for $40 about a year or so ago and didn't. Still kicking myself. On another note: Have you ever seen/worked with a Marjoc RomScanner? I'm curious about how much they go for, and if they are fun to own? Thanks.

JihemB Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Hi Evan. No, I never see an actual Marjac RomScanner even for sale on eBay or anywhere else. About 6 months ago I saw a Videoplexer for sale but the auction ends between $250 and $300 ! BTW : I wanted to test Compumate against ColecoVision Atari 2600 adapter too but unfortunately the form factor of the ComputeCartridge prevents it to be inserted completely in the Coleco 2600 adapter cartridge hole (because of the thickness of the back of the cartridge increases just before the wires ouput).

Evanlor Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I can't tell if these hardware prices are real anymore. This stuff is getting more rare. Would the Compumate at $250 be worth it? I just can't tell. Too funny about your testing! Also, have you ever tried to DO anything with the Compumate? I know how limited it is. If it wasn't so damn rare hacking it would be fun.
