Hey all...Sorry to mods if this is posted in the incorrect forum! Feel free to move!

So...I just finished wall-mounting my LCD HDTV to which my 7800 is connected via F-Connector. Picture is good, no complaints there...however, the 7800 is sitting high and as I sit across my living room looking at it I started to wonder would it be possible in a 7800 or 2600 to open the case up and somehow turn the cartridge connector around so the label-ended side of the cart would be facing me instead of the wall....Any thoughts on if this would be possible and, if so, how hard an endeavour this would be?

Not really feasible without major modification.

i plan on taking a FB2 and putting it into a 2600 vader case. using 2600 switches and everything. so it looks stock , and has LOTS of room inside for a battery, mods, speakers, and maybe an lcd. since the cart port is on wires i plan on installing it backwards. ide rather see the label.

Remove label, put it on the other side of the cartridge.

buy reprinted labels so you have labels on both sides. and buy extra ones for putting on other things..

Look up how a Sega Neptune (genesis + 32x in one) is assembled, do a similar operation to your atari.
