Atari Dogs Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Is it really $100 for a hack Flashback 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetset Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Is it really $100 for a hack Flashback 2. I was thinking that too but didn't want to be the first to say. I thought the parts were only a few bucks, the unit itself is what, twenty bucks? plus some $$ for the time and expertise...I wouldn't want to assign a price, but it definetly wouldn't be much more than $50 bucks. Correct me if I'm wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hailrazer Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 (edited) Oh yea it's real easy and anyone can do it. Here's a quote from someone who has done it : The first thing you will notice is how small the connection pads are. If you are not used to soldering I suggest that you practice on an old circuit board because it is really easy to "blob solder" your way to destroying your FB2. Also, make sure that you do not let the soldering iron linger for too long on any of the connection pads so that you do not destroy any of the surrounding components. http://home.socal.rr.com/kokosplace/fb2/fb2_mod.htm So yea go try to do it yourself before you talk about how it's not worth much.

Yea, I agree, I already ruined one fb2 in attempt to mod it. Now I have to get thin solder and try it on my other fb2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poker_plus Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 I bet there are fewer modded Flashback II's out there than boxed Waterworlds. It's a cool little system. Check out the new pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irondog Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I want a FB2 but I understand there are three release versions--apparently the early models had glitches running Quadrun, Millipede and Adventure II . How is the release version identified, so that I may ask a seller to look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanallan Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I agree with the price, because when modding them yes, the parts are not expensive but the work involved is a bit intensive. Cutting plastic so that it doesn't melt or shred is also a chore with a razor knife especially in the grill. It may only seem pricey until you get in there and try to do it yourself. What's the price of avoiding frustration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
