In Topic: How to tell if a cart is NTSC without opening?

Some of my cartridges have a sticker "P" on the backside.
That's obviously for "PAL". Never seen a "N"

"Hidden underground rooms"? -Never heard of that!
I played it several times to the end, but never realized there is something else out there...
Amazing! I have to check it out.

Thx for the advice!

and it would be great to mod it for some power-LEDs, too, so I know when things are truly ON

That's a good idea! Next number on my project list.
It's easy to forget turning them off and batteries discharge without use...

I hope you can now enjoy your wireless controllers, I like them especially for playing quiz games sitting on the sofa with many other persons.

The Atari branded does not have a power switch on the receiver and is always on

The "Game Mate 2" is technically identical, there is now power switch, too. I ment plug in...

IF you would be so kind, do you have WIZARD OF WOR or MARIO BROS? COMBAT would do, too - - I see the same issue there, as well, with the left joystick controlling everything, and the right doing nothing.

I have a Harmony Cartridge, everything is possible :grin:

Could you please confirm that you CAN or CAN'T play a two-player simultaneous game with the ATARI branded wireless remote controllers?

As far as I know, only the brand differs. Game Mate 2 = ATARI wireless remote controllers. Yes, I can play everything like I'm using the CX 40 Joysticks.

I am starting to think that we have a TECHNICAL issue here, and the LEFT controller transmitter is overpowering the RIGHT . . . ?

Maybe that's an approach... or look at that:

Nothing a little electronics tinkering won't fix, but FIRST I wanted to confirm that you CAN get those two player games to work as expected!

Definitly Yes!



Good Luck

Believe me, it's only a matter of the order you switch your equipment on!
It sounds strange, but it is...
I could reproduce all your mentioned errors by switching on and off the joysticks/transceiver by accident.

But if I stick to the "right order" there is no problem anymore.

-> switch on the transceiver
-> switch on right then left joystick (wait 5 seconds for "synchronisation")
-> switch on your VCS

This works in 99% of all cases.

Have you tried this? result?
