i was wondering, (even if i have to mod it) if there was a way to play coleco games without having to remove the atari expansion module?

No your right, I have no clue about COLECOVISION.
KEEP SAYING THIS? I see it posted once..............

Ah I see, I did not realize you posted in TWO different threads, I thought my first reply disappeared so I posted the same response.

Just found this, which might help you get started:

Looks like 5-11Under did most of the pin research, but I don't know if anyone has actually built the appropriate switch to make it all work.

i searched for about 2 hours on the web. since they upgraded atariage forums the search gives me internal errors.

I'm pretty sure that back in time, i never unplugged the Atari Module to play colecovision games. the only thing i did was to unplug joystick and move them to one module to other until i bought Atari Joysticks i kept plugged in the Atari module.

Could it be possible, SECAM Consoles work differently?

[Murph74]

Not likely Youki, and the Atari Exp Module was pretty much a self contained Atari that used the Colecovision's A/V output circuits. Pretty much just passed right through as I understand it.

Anyone know where someone might find a dual edged 60-pin PCB card, and a 60 pin pass through? With those 2 things, a switch adapter would be a breeze to make. I know the 60 pin pass through could be sourced from some old NES carts (the ones that use Famicom adapters like some Gyromite-- I know because I'm looking at one!), but I'd think there's a better solution available out there somewhere-- just not much look googling for it thus far.
