This is aninformal list, so I'm not expecting to win any documentation awards.I don't really edit the entries by others unless I feel likerewording them.  The grammar (in mine anyways =^) may be bad, theformat poor, but it does give the explanations.     This list if far from complete, if you know something is missing,(or discover something new) write an explanation of the trick and it'seffect, and I'll include it in the list.  (If anyone has any 5200BTECH, send them and I'll include it.)** Controller Tricks **  Some tricks involve using the "wrong" controller for a game, someinvolve opening up your controller (the joystick in all cases I knowof) to perform "impossible" movements (i.e. up _and_ down at the sametime.)  Also, certain ones won't work on the 2600jr. or 7800.** Frying the 2600 **  "Frying" refers to drawing out weird effects in 2600 games byrapidly switching the power on and off.  An easy way to do this is toattempt to set the power switch "exactly" between on and off, this israther impossible, but the power will go on & off in your attempts.(The older style 2600 is also reccomended, I haven't had much luckwith the newer 2600jr.)**NOTE**  the author of this file and it's contributors will not beheld responsible for any damage caused to your system.
