+Allan Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 So I am assuming correctly that the CC2 works with the adapter as well? Adapter looks great. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a snug fit as are some other carts, but yes the CC2 works like a champ with it. Is that for real? It sure is. And it is very, very cool.

If you can't use 7800 or 2600 controllers, why bother? huh what i was saying is that you have to use 2600 controls with the 2600 adapter i assume with this contraption you have to use a 7800 controller and if you use a 2600 paddle game you need a set of 2600 paddles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what i mean too. If you need all these controllers, may as well just use a 2600 or whatever. I'd rather play a game with whatever controller it was designed for. I'd hate to play breakout with a stick. It's nice adapter but can you use all the controllers that were designed for the games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic George 2K3 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 All we need now is a dual-slot 5200/7800 system...like that's going to happen anytime soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mos6507 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 All those 2600 adapters were nothing more than 2600s that drew power from the host system and sent the audio and video through the cart slot. Think of it like a fancy A/V switchbox and little else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 (edited) It's nice adapter but can you use all the controllers that were designed for the games? Yes, 2600/7800 controllers actually plug into the sides of the adapter just like the original VCS adapter. One thing I found is that it's particularly handy with an AtariVox as it's a perfect fit to stick it in on one side. The adapter is certainly not the most practical solution, but it was just too neat for me to pass on. Especially since it's sort of a spiritual successor of what Atari would have done if they had ever made the unreleased 'SLAM PAM' module for the 5200.

A 5200 to 7800 adaptor seems like a better idea. 5200/7800 to 2600 adpaters would be killer! 2600 is still my favorite Atari esthetically speaking, wish all games worked with it..

+Mitch Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 WTF? Why? A 5200 to 7800 adaptor seems like a better idea. The only problem with that is that the 5200 adapter would be bigger than the 7800 system and would probably tip it over. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
