The soldering is intimidating at first but wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. (this was the first real project I did besides recapping game gears) This is one of those projects where it was more fun doing than using. I've brought it out.. maybe twice since building it. lol. --- End quote --- I have a spare Genesis model 2 and 32x that I plan to make into a homemade Neptune someday with the same line of thinking. It will be more fun to make it than use it. |

It's been a good while since I did the atari, and I'm a decent bit better at soldering now =P back to the OP - If you really REALLY don't want to DIY the atari, try poking around the atari age forum and see if some one there would be willing. I'm sure it would get a bit pricey though. I THINK including the flashback 2 ($20 shipped from ebay), the mod cost me somewhere between $70 - $80 DIY Also the only place that seems to sell the pin connectors, well their website is just a parts list thats looks like it was made in 1995. to order you have to call them or email them with a list of the part numbers and your credit card number. Felt shady as hell, but it all went ok =P |
