Fort Apocalypse Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 (edited) Thought it might be fun if everyone posted a picture of their FB2 setup, their cart mod, some other FB2 mod, or some other interesting use of their FB2. Competition ends at Sept. 25 at 11:59pm (just to choose an arbitrary date and time). The award is that you will enjoy 19.72 days of being the coolest person in the forum (which by the way is 19d 17h 16m 48s). Competition will be judged by Curt, only if he is interested in judging. Curt can also enter the competition. Curt can pretty much do whatever the hell he wants, since he is the man.

Fort Apocalypse Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 (edited) Here is my setup. Not much here. No mods. I'm betting that most others will be more interesting! The only thing interesting is that there is a big TV on top of the small nightstand holding all of this which could easily collapse at any time.

jediknight0 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I'm not doing anything else tonight, I'll "enter" this contest. This is my flashback 2 mod - basically a TRON themed atari 2600 The finished case The open case (including game grid and light cycles), custom joysticks (they light up and have color-coordinated cables), and light-up TRON cartridges. Inside UV lights (lightcycles are UV reactive) and audio V.U. meter, proof that it all works (or did the last time I checked it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antron Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I guess I'll repost this here. It is an eight by 8K rom bank add on. Can be removed leaving the FB2 visually unmodded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SINGLE TOOTH Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I'm not doing anything else tonight, I'll "enter" this contest. This is my flashback 2 mod - basically a TRON themed atari 2600 I don't really care about the inside action so much, but the outer case looks fucking awesome. I like that it looks like an industrial device. (I'm not much of a tron fan, so I don't konw what it's really suppossed to be.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jediknight0 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Thanks for the comments everyone. Yup - I took the original joystick parts, made a RTV rubber mold, then used epoxy resin and various dyes to make the new parts. The hard part was figuring out exactly how much dye to use and how to mix it all (as well as the best way to add embeded LEDs to the sticks and buttons). You can see the complete worklog here: TRON 2600 work-log. More pictures are available here: TRON 2600 gallery Of course, you can check out all my case mods here: http://mods.xkill.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fort Apocalypse Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 I think Curt is busy, so jediknight0, I'm pretty sure you win! The other mod was way cool too though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks everyone, I'll wear the crown with honor for the next 19.72 days. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm thinking of doing another flashback 2 mod... something a little more simple but still elegant. I'll let everyone know when/if I finish something. Edited September 29, 2007 by jediknight0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed you've got new pics up of an SE mod, but it doesn't look like you've done anything to it yet. What are you up to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
