Okay just print it out and used scotch tape and seem to work okay for me.
I've got some card stock. I'll dig it out tomorrow and make one of those. Looking forward to getting the game when it hits the AA store.
It's a tankless job, but somebody's got to do it.

@electronicsibley Here are my 7 working units.
No port. This is my current daily driver.

I have several more to fix. Will update when they are either working or declared deceased. I may have to sell off a few but I'm trying to keep as many as possible for my museum project.

So they'd be golden to just turn around and say "All developers now owe us 1 million dollars per year per game they've released. Retroactively."
Not retroactively, only if they want to continue to distribute it using the current version of unity or if they update it to versions yet unreleased, regardless of when the game itself was released.

Sweet! I like this too.
Cool. I'll make one of those for a test run.
I'm going to try a nylon switch plate first. I think the smoother surface will take the decal better. I will also look for extra smooth metal ones.
No worries if you don't like the final product. I have many places through the house and in any of six outbuildings in which I can use them.

Ok. Thought about this option and I came across this pic. I think this might work. How do you guys feel about it?
I really like this one, I can extend the top and bottom with a bit of black to get full coverage.

Yep, black metal plate. How about the attached pic? I only need one, so I’d you need to charge a bit more to make it worth your time, I’m fine with that.
I've been toying with crops and with rearranging some of the elements, but I just can't come up with anything acceptable. How about I make this on a double-gang switch plate?
There's also the option of the box art or the entire front of the arcade machine for a single plate, but that may be too tiny for good detail.

Not sure if there are any games that won't run with the Atari 5200 VCS Cartridge Adapter but this will still have it uses if you don't already own an actual Atari 2600.
There shouldn't be any, it's 1:1 hardware.

We havent got any of these third party accessories to hand to test. If I get my hands on them I would try them out and report back.
I can loan you one and a copy of Stella gets a new brain

Dig Dug is the first game I bought with my own money. I'd gone into the game store for years to look and put stuff aside so I could get my mom to buy it for my birthday or Christmas, but Dig Dug was all me.

I'll toy with the pic a bit and post first. I don't do this for money but thank you. It shouldn't be too much. Let me investigate and get back here tonight or tomorrow.
I think I may have to do a white metal plate and just print the black region. Just using a regular printer so no white ink. I'll hit it with some matte sealer too so they will last and can be cleaned.
Going to make a dig dug one for myself.

@ClassicGMR @sramirez2008 you pick the pictures and I'll put them on a plate. I'm assuming black metal plates. Just cost (plate, transfer, ink) plus shipping plus $1 each for the kitty, hope that's fair. Probably cheaper to amortize the shipping over a few plates, plus that way I can buy a contractor box of plates.

@ClassicGMR and @bent_pin do either of you know if Hobby Lobby has an Asteroids plate? Damn you both. Now I have to get into this.😉
Not that I see, but I might be convinced to make you one using a printable water transfer.

Got mine yesterday. Went on a spree and have Frogger and Ms. PAC-Man coming for the other 2 plates as well. Damn you BP… 🤣
Nice, I really like the arcade sign.
I also got one of these too. It's still sealed until I'm ready to install it next week, but here's the stock pic:
It's double-sided, 3D, and it lights up. I'm probably going to mod it with a uC and some LEDs, not sure though.
Follow-up pictures when it's up.
My awesome girlfriend got both of these for me.

I think I cracked the code
Instead of complaining about them repeating inaccuracies about this game, we just start telling these journalists to "git gud"
Then watch the narrative change from "ET is the worst game ever" to "Why ET needs an easy mode"
This
I bet Mike Toomey would take the advice and jump off the cliff in Dark Souls, then complain about it on his show.

Looking forward to playing Amoeba Jump on it in glorious HD!

I'd get an 800 and upgrade it with Incognito. (See my guide in my signature which compliments FJC's incognito install vids). I've done this upgrade a lot. Love it.
Perhaps. I like to make stuff like that myself. Maybe that means I need a third unit running incognito mode, or incognetus as Archie would say.

Pretty excited about this one, now I can play 5200 with a reliable, self-centering controller.
It works perfectly and I have a backup AT-5200 controller that also works perfectly.

I have a 4-channel oscilloscope and a 34-channel logic analyzer that I use for chip/bus timing analysis, clock frequency, etc. With the speeds of these older systems, you do not need to spend too much money on these. I think I spent less than $500 for the pair, but you could probably do better on ebay.
Just make sure you have at least 10 samples per clock of the fastest component, more is better. So, a 2600 would require a minimum 36MS/s. An NES would require 220MS/s. A Sega Genesis would require 54MS/s. I'm working on hardware emulation of older chips right now where I have 8 operations on the new hardware to emulate 1 operation on the old hardware, so I analyzed the bus at 8 samples per clock to get the most accurate timing that I could recreate.
You can probably find timing charts to help, but nothing beats seeing the systems tick. I've also pulled chips and built basic systems around them to run at 2Hz.

You will fall in love with it 😍
I have several 800 motherboards, but I'm really tempted to just buy a CPU card and build the rest from the ground up. Though with the way I buy stuff, I'll probably buy one and build one too.

I try to pay $0.75-$4 per game unless it's really special, $10-$30 for a 2600, $30-$60 for a 5200, $16-$60 for a 7800.
I'd pay no more than $185 for the lot you listed including the shipping, and I would think I didn't get the greatest deal of I did.
I have a 400 but I need to get an 800.
