bah Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Hi everyone. I am still fairly new to the 5200 but like what I have a lot. My question is what games will not run on the 2 port models? I have heard Pitfall won't run. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I belive that you can modify a 2 port to play these though I don't know how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Modification is to replace the 2-port's bios with one from a 4-port. There are hacked versions which can be played on the Atarimax flash cart on 2-ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are hacked versions which can be played on the Atarimax flash cart on 2-ports. Is the BIOS chip at least socketed, or is major surgery required? It might be easier just to get a 4 port if you don't already have one to run those games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bah Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 Thanks all. Yep it was Krazy shootout I could not get a blink out of. As for dirty contacts, I have had much more trouble with the 2600 carts than the 5200 ones. Wish that was true of the controllers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WERY Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I recommend modifying a 4-port version of 5200 to play the games the 2-port version cannot handle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Manhattan Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 There are hacked versions which can be played on the Atarimax flash cart on 2-ports. I was just going to ask this question. Sweet! Now I can finally purchase my 5200 cart from Atari Max. I hope they're still having that sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
