bohoki Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 ive wanted too but i store the power brick in there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodos8 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I'd maybe consider it for a system that was missing the storage cover which neither of my two systems are. Plus, on mine I keep stuff in there like a controller, masterplay clone, wico y-cable and a sega d-pad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanallan Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Dude, the back view of it looks like the tail end of a Japanese sports car now. All you need are red lights in the cutout parts and a silver tailpipe. Nice work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you need are red lights in the cutout parts and a silver tailpipe. Nice work. That's a good idea. I couldn't think of a good way to cover the back but, LED's for brake lights and dual exhaust pipes coming out of the back would kick ass! Especially since it would go along with the Pole Position themed paddle controller I made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back then the general consensus was bigger is better or something like that. Not sure why they made it so big. @Ataritard, you can cut reflectors from bicycle wheels and set LEDs behind them, I think that would look pretty good. For the silver pipes you can break a bunch of dollar store "silver" pens and there you go. Just brainstorming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schizophretard Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 It makes me wonder how small of a custom shell could be to fit it in. Could someone put the insides in a small wooden box with the cartridge slot and controller ports sticking out? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AX No. Her name is Pam and she weighs 520.0 pounds. She was actually the inspiration for the Atari 5200 and why it's so big. I won't tell you where she can fit two controllers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ataritard Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 i like it.and i like your name.^_^ Thank you, Thank you It makes me wonder how small of a custom shell could be to fit it in. Could someone put the insides in a small wooden box with the cartridge slot and controller ports sticking out? I would love to see an Atari 5200 handheld but I don't see it happening. This is as small as it gets without heavily modifying the motherboard, it's huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
