djpubba Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) Considering offers on this neat little mod job. I took a Longhorn Engineer s-video and stereo A/V mod and put it in a 5200 VCS adapter and added a power supply so that no 5200 is needed! For those who aren't familiar with the 5200 VCS adapter, it includes two joystick ports, two difficulty switches, select and reset. Now it also includes s-video, stereo audio, power and an on/off switch. Runs on a 7volt DC supply, which is included. Alternatively, you can still plug it into a 5200 for power (2-port version) instead of using the power supply. Video looks amazing. Plays all 2600 carts. Not sure what to ask, so I'll take informal bids here and sell to the highest bidder. Send me a PM or feel free to post your bid in this thread.

the-topdog Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Does it still work if you plug it into the 5200? If so, I may be bidding on this awesome mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djpubba Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 Thanks! Yep, you can power it with a 5200 instead of the external power supply but video will only come out of the s-video connector, not the 5200. I could probably change it so it would still pump video through the 5200 too if that'd increase your bid enough to be worth my effort to do it.

OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 That is awesome! What a great idea! Could you do that with a colecovision expansion module # 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djpubba Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 Yeah the Coleco is next. I have just enough parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) Well then I will make an offer just to get the ball rolling! Not trying to low ball you I am sure I will be outbid soon enough but ya gotta start somewhere. IF your willing to ship to Canada then I offer $100 USD + Actual shipping cost. I have one of these adapters for my 5200 but I could not mod it in this way if I tried! Edited March 28, 2011 by OldSchoolRetroGamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Yeah the Coleco is next. I have just enough parts. That would be awesome and I bet would get others to do the same mod. Always thought is would make a cool stand alone 2600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it certainly would make an great unboxing and demonstration video for my Youtube channel! I will keep my fingers crossed. Such a great unique item I'm amazed nobody else is jumping on this, I guess o lot of people are more talented then me and could do a similar mod themselves lol.

djpubba Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 Thanks. I don't have any more VCS adapters to mod, but I'll definitely be modding other stuff. Can you say demo kiosk? Tonight I confirmed it can be powered by a 5200 still. I updated the first post with an additional picture of that in action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Allan Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Could you right something up so that others could mode their VCS adapter? Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djpubba Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 It's the same as modding any 2600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DamonicFury Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) Any idea if this mod would allow the VCS adapter to work on an original 4-port 5200? Edit: Oops, I see in your original post that you specify a 2-port. Bummer. Edited March 29, 2011 by sdamon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Oops, I see in your original post that you specify a 2-port. Bummer. Sweet! I got it! For the record I have a 5200 that has been modded already to allow compatibility with the VCS adapter (I have one and use it already) which was another reason for my interest in this.

Defender II Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 That's really awesome and quite outside the box! I like it! I was thinking the same thing. It is a real curiosity piece! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
