imac4567 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 it's just a hacked cartridge that would allow someone to play copies of games made onto EPROMs (and in this case, probably just 2K/4K games). Basically, piracy on the 2600 back in the day. I'm surprised at how often these devices show up. -Dylan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickeycolumbus Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) What game is this? http://www.auctiva.com/hostedimages/showimage.aspx?gid=1034357&image=297612472&images=297612386,297612339,297612282,297612436,297612472&formats=0,0,0,0,0&format=0 it's just a hacked cartridge that would allow someone to play copies of games made onto EPROMs (and in this case, probably just 2K/4K games).

Nukey Shay Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Unique item? Prototypes on production roms? Idiots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigO Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) Heck, I'd pay the current $1.69 price for it. A socket like that will run at least $10-12. I just bought a 20 pin from Mouser for > $10. (But, I'm not likely to bid on a $2.00 auction and wait 9 days to see if I win) Edited September 11, 2009 by BigO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nukey Shay Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 At least you have an idea of what to do with all of those donor cart roms laying around. Step 1: Round up a dozen or two and throw in a socketed pcb. Step 2: ??? Step 3: profit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninermaniac Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Are you f'n kidding me, look at the price? I guess cosmic raider is sturring up things a little.
