That seems sooo complicated to do that. My atari 2600 and its cartridges shall stay tucked away in my closet for the next while to come.

come out of the closet man....

Wow, the board really is tiny isn't it? I saw on eof these in a store over the weekend. I was tempted, but I kept my resolve to not buy one until they get cheaper.

Cheaper than $30? Wow, I thought I was tight.

Why pay $30 for one now when the same thing will probably be $15ish after xmas? I've already got four real 2600s.

that is kind of a letdown. All that soldering just so I can play my big box of games because my atari's stopped working a while ago.

Im not all that good at soldering, and it would be cool. maybe after I get my next few cab projects done.

But also, look on the bright side. atleast its only a 24pin slot. Not like your trying to splice a JAMMA harness/board in there or something

If you really just want to play your old games again, jump on ebay and buy yourself a real 2600. You can buy a Junior any day of the week for less than a FB2.

But you get two brand new controllers, which will work with the old 2600s as well. Besides - it's so tiny!

Controllers? This is BYOAC. I built my own 2600 controller. Didn't you?

Nah - I only rebuilt them, which should also count!

Besides, yours is only good for actually using if it duplicates the cramping in the hand that you get from playing too much...

Sadly, that feature could not be implimented in this version.

nothing a little reworking wouldn't fix. Just replace the balltop with a mini-stick,the button with a mini, make the box smaller and you will be getting those Hand Cramps

Wow, 2 brand new, most awkward, flimsy, clumsy, wrist-paining controllers ever made that break exactly after the 6 month warranty expired. Good thing we now have 2 years warrant by law in Europe

*cough* somebody could probably make a tidy profit selling pre-moded AF2s *cough*

I know I'd buy one.

I'm pretty sure he's on the level. I know that Curt Vendel is involved with the FB2 design.

The new release date is by 10/5, so we'll just have to wait...

I still havn't seen one in the stores yet

Stingray · « **Reply #59 on:** October 10, 2005, 10:49:49 am »

I have, but IMO, they're still too much. If you you really want one I can pick one up for you if you like.

now look at what he is doing to the flash back
http://mods.xkill.net/redir_minimame.html
if this don't take you to the flash back hit his current project.
