nonetheless 2012 have brought

 

* SINISTAR for only 25 bucks

 

* not just 1 but 2 new composite video mods.-awesome quality-

 

* Atarimax Ultimate sd cart with LOTS of A8 conversions ,THE best thing ever to happen to the system!

 

* NOS aluminium spare front parts for the case from a known supplier

 

* 4 to 5 new games on the horizon including the long awaited Tempest , Gauntlet and Cloack & Dagger.

 

* New custom made 5200 Leather 5200 covers

That's all pretty awesome.

 

Do you have links?

 

Hmmm...what to wish for... How about a converter to run Jaguar controllers [Power Pads, Jag Pro Controllers] on the 5200?

I too would like to see links for some of this, as I'm too lazy to research all of it on my own. :)

Particularly the 5200 leather covers, Gauntlet (release date, roughly??) and the composite video mods.

 

leather covers:

 

eBay Auction -- Item Number: 2610288000441?ff3=2&pub=5574883395&toolid=10001&campid=5336500554&customid=&item=261028800044&mpt=[CACHEBUSTER]

 

the thread of the video mods is here

none is compatible with the 2600 adapter :(

 

Gauntlet is due for 30TH aniversary -HOPE!- on a big 64k megacart by Ziggystar
