    Time for a lil' thread revival so I can pick ya'lls brains. I grabbed the Persona Endless Night collection on clearance recently- I don't know who decided 'stacked discs in a digicase' was a good idea, but I hope they got fired. Anyway- I was hoping to find a protector to fit this (it's a bit taller and wider than a standard blu-ray), but I'd love it to be a bit thicker so I can slip in a 2-disc slim blu-ray case to store the discs better. There's a lot of collector's edition the right thickness, but the height/width is wrong. Anybody got any ideas?

    I have that same set and dont have a protector for it just yet. I'll have to send Dan measurements for my next order and see what he has that is close and test a few out.  That's pretty much how we do it, send him measurements and he gives us what is close.  Sometimes it's a hit and we log it here and sometimes not and it sits in a huge box of defunct sizes lol

  2. Have the Atarimax cart running in my 5200 Kiosk.  Couple of things I could use some assistance on.

     

    Looking for artwork and manual files.  The cart supports viewing image files in Koala .pic format.  I was hoping to find cart and start screen for each game, anything to give the end user some sort of preview.  Alternative, something that will easily convert some current image format to the supported koala .pic files.

     

    The manual display is pretty sweet, just a text or ASCII code on screen. again. Hoping to find a whole set already existing somewhere.  I'd rather not retype everything by hand for all games.

     

    And last, not being able to get back to the main cart menu without a complete power cycle is quite annoying and not friendly for someone playing on a kiosk.  I have the power the entire cabinet down and back on just to try another game.  Has anyone figured out a good hack to get the cart back to the main menu yet?  I suspect it's a limitation to how the cart functions but, trying to be hopeful as my only other option is to write in some sort of reset button to power cycle the 5200 system inside the kiosk.

     

    Anyway, just some things I need to finalize my new kiosk system.  Super ready for the next game night when covid dies down a bit.

  3. Found this thread when researching my new 5200 kiosk. 

     

    Figured I'd join on here.

     

     

    Picked up in Norcal

    I'm the 2and owner. Unit from Montgomery Wards according to 1st owner.

     

    Was working prior to purchase, mostly intact but board wouldn't play any carts upon arrival.

    Was missing the monitor shelf, the bottom light, and the knobsfor the display barrel.

     

    Super fun to restore.  I'm now looking for a new option for knobs on the rod that spins the barrel under the cpanel.  I have my own modified 5200 board in place and rebuilt monitor shelf and monitor.  Waiting for a bezel and she will be ready to rock. Minor tweaks like replace leaf switches, clean buttons and stick components etc...

    Just the menu (not the games) gets messed up.

     

     

    I'd also like to be clear that both menu and games were not working on either vecmulti cart purchased on either of my vectrex systems, not just menu.

    The one I sent you was worse than the other.

    Since a new pcb is required I assume this means you need me to also send the 2 carts back for fixing.  Dont suppose there is some other sort of option we can work out as the guy who sent your the logic board from my messed up system?

    Shipping is quite expensive from me to you as I've already done it twice :)

     

    thank you

  5. Google Doc list is now complete and it's been updated to allow commenting from anyone.

     

    When I say complete, it's complete with all of this original post content as well as all the protectors I just placed my own items into these last couple weeks.

     

    Feel free to share, comment directly on the doc if anything you find works better, something that isn't on the list and you confirm fits great (I know there's a lot out there)

  6. Thanks stupus.  This is actually quite a fun little project.  Lots missing still.

     

    I'm kind of just adding what I'm actually placing into my own protectors right now. Also still cleaning up code, formatting, etc.  Working on transferring content from your original post right now.

     

    The way videogamboxprotectors site works does not allow for direct linking to a product.  The store seems to create a session token with a unique browsing id. Any links I copy and past just go right back to the main store page again. Noticed yours also do it from the main post.  I may dig a bit deeper into the code at some point. That's actually what prompted me to go back through every single item this morning and actually list precisely what protector fits that item. That way if a store updates or changes a page, we at least know what it is.

     

    Once I get all the existing content from your original post into the doc, I plan to share it among all of the various collector groups I belong to. Hopefully everyone else does as well and make it continue to grow and get all of these great stores more business to make even more protectors due to increased demand.  That way we all win; they have demand for new non existent product and we get the benefit of obtaining non existent product.

  7. thank you stupus.

     

    Are the Outline links to the left of the document working ok for everyone?

    I see them as the author but want to make sure they work for everyone even with Read Only permissions.

     

    I've added quite a few today.  Received all of my shipments from the various protector makers at once so I've been on a mission today to protect as many as possible and update the doc :)

  8. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1FHcg00OEAc5d5Esa3tuBO2_mzXKF0gAWtLRuXBIr6-4

     

    Started a Google Drive doc that we can all start contributing to and sharing with others who may not have an atariage account.

     

    Let me know what you think about that format.  Only done with 2600 and 5200 so far, but want to include everything all the way up to current gen systems.

     

    @stupus  that Fire Emblem Echoes 3ds box fits Bounty Bob perfectly.  Allows the hang tab to be fully extended.

  9. I just ordered so don't have them yet to test how close things are to fitting.

    I have a lot of stuff in this order that was made for other things that are close to fitting some of the oddball items i have.  I'll let you know how it all fits.

     

    Maybe we can start a google drive sheet with all of this info so more than 1 of us can assist in making additions and modifications and link it on the first post.  I'm part of a group for Playstation VR Physical games and that is how we maintain the lists.  Maybe a different sheet within the workbook for each console with links to sites and which box fits best.

  10. Notice some are missing that I've located and hoping to order in next couple days.

    Not sure of the NL shop shipping to the states though.  Perhaps someone in EU can verify their quality.  They certainly have many console protectors we lack over here.

    He doesn't list on site any longer but he does have them.  Great dude I finally met at Portland Retro Expo.  Trying to work with him to get a custom Bounty Box 5200 box made, maybe a Vectrex 3D Imager.   In the meantime, this is the closest thing for bounty bob 5200

  11. Need these last few commons for a CIB Atari 5200 set.  Hoping to snag all,or a bulk of them together.  Separate they are hardly worth the trouble with shipping costs.

    Must be good/great condition and complete in box with all manuals,inserts,pamphlets, and overlays where applicable.

     

    Centipede

    Defender

    Missile Command

    Ms. Pac Man

    Space Invaders

     

     

    Somewhat Less common but, also need these CIB

     

    Atari VCS Adapter

    Masterplay 5200 Joystick Interface (larger red box version)

     

    DM me if interested in trade.  I have bits of everything from pong to ps4 and cant really list or photograph it all.

    I did that very mod awhile back and it does indeed work. I used the parts that already existed on the unit to do the mod and it worked OK. I was going to add this system to my FPGA stuff but haven't gotten a chance yet to do it, but did get the video modded so I could do testing. The one I had the buttons on the controllers fell apart inside, but this is an easy fix with some packing tape.

    Kevtris, you mention you used the very parts within the system to do the mod.  Does this mean you traced each pin of the MC1372 and the 6821 to the component on the board and ran a single wire for composite out and a single wire for audio out?

    Do you happen to have any pics of where these are located or how you went about doing this?  I can't quite decipher what OP Amp U1 is required for this.  The pins in the schematic don't match up with any datasheets or my limited knowledge of any 8 pin op amp work, for example, the schematic a few posts back show pin 1 as the + but it's generally Null in the op amp's i've looked at purchasing.

  13. Board was sent but I forgot to include some of the cables that connect the logic to power and such.  As soon as I get back from a work trip I'll get those out to Richard.

     

    Everyone just keep following this thread for updates on this issue.  Pretty confident he can figure it out now that he has hands on one of the troublesome logic boards.
