+thanatos Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 is anyone interested? Got any more pictures? One of the back maybe? And how does it look with the cartridge both in and out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 With the handheld being made by you and no one here knowing anything about your workmanship or reputation as a seller aside from out of focus auction pics and poor feedback on ebay do to item misrepresantation it's gonna be a tough sell.

Crazy Climber Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I saw this on Ebay a few days ago and was going to post a link here since people like these but your feedback was kind of poor and the pictures did not show how it looked with a cartridge in it so I didn't.

+thanatos Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I wouldn't necessarily call 2 negatives over two years 'poor feedback'. (Not trying to defend anyone though) But more and clearer pictures would definitely be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not trying to defend anyone though) But more and clearer pictures would definitely be helpful. I was not as concerned with the amount, more the statement on the most recent negative which was also for a handheld system (DS) Here is what it says.... I WAS RIPPED OFF! DO NOT BUY FROM THE SELLER! ITEM WAS NOT THE SAME AS DESCRIPT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisKoopa Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 (edited) my camera was stolen and all i have is my sisters cellphone to take pictures with i don't want to get into how angry i am with my camera gone, it cost me the bad feedback for that ds cause it didn't show a cracked hinge but my past work is very good with portables there's 2 i have up on my freewebs site you could see http://www.freewebs.com/chris-koopa/apps/photos/ as for more pictures ill see if i could barrow my sisters cell again and gets some pics of it outside. the mighty power of the sun seems to help out with low quality cameras :update: i found my old pencam hope this helps Edited October 16, 2008 by ChrisKoopa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HFK Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I for one am even more confused by those pics. So the cart goes in the bottom side pointing down? Is that a battery from an rc car? Is it just stuck on the back like it looks in the picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just stuck on the back like it looks in the picture? Looks that way. How do you even fit an atari into a case that small? I remember taking apart my old 2600, and the board was a lot wider than that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, you can fit a 2600 onto a 2x2 breadboard now a days not to mention the atari on a chip that Curt Vendel and company came up with that is about the size of a nickle.

I was assuming just adapting the original hardware somehow. Now that I think about it, that Atari classic in a joystick must have done something similar... I've had a couple beers this evening!

HFK Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 (edited) I would still like some better pics or a better description, not that I'm going to bid at $140 starting. But, come on, an rc battery strapped to the back and the cart too? How do you play this? Holding it straight out in front of you? Then hope the battery doesn't fall off? If I am out of line please correct me, but that doesn't look all that good. Edited October 17, 2008 by HFK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it the cart connector is sticking out the bottom. But the board is not populated. Where are the chips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard of a few other modders going that route. Ben heck usually had a was to hold the batteries in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't have any chips on it yet because I've been too lazy to get the project going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
