Omega-TI Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 ... any other requirements? Play and enjoy ! Absolutely! I only have three little cartridges (UFO!, Alien Invaders - Plus! and K.C. Munchkin!), so mine gets very little use. There was a game that looked pretty cool awhile back called Amok!, but it was no longer available and the price seemed kind of steep at the time. Maybe someday I'll find someone willing to get rid of a 3 or 4 duplicates at a decent price that will stuff them into a $6.00 flat rate USPS box. I do (HINT) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right. After I get home tonight I'll see what is currently available. I seem to recall two different types, one was menu driven and the other had DIP switches IIRC.

I seem to recall two different types, one was menu driven and the other had DIP switches IIRC. I have the Videopac C7051 Game Recorder, which lets you put your own games on, as well as the Videopac C7060 Game Selector (C 7060) multicart, which is the menu-driven multi-cart you're referencing. I also have the 233-in-1 Multicart, which is switch-based, like you also mentioned. That's gone through several revisions (mostly the addition of more games) over the years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 WOW, I did a search for the Videopac C7051 Game Recorder, and found this. FREAKING COOL! Where does one download old & new ready to transfer and use files for this item? I'll probably just get the 233 DIP switchable Multi-Cart at first. If things get exciting, I just might drop into the deep end of the pool. Right now though, I gotta get back to business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatPix Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I guess you just download the ROM files like for any other flash cart. You can get René 's one, with a menu. it's well made and all. Also he sell adapters to put The Voice on a Videopac+ but that might not concern you It's fairly cheap too, about 40€, and add shipping, and comes with the manual. No box tho, and it's mostl made to fit Videopac plastic boxes : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seob Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Got that as well! My mother in-law even made a dust cover to go over my 02 with voice attached to it. She used some scrap fabric from other stuff and is looking into making a leather or pleather one for me as well! The blue floral pattern is nice touch for the time being though! Well show us the pictures then to the community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottyDont00 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Nice collection you got. Thanks! I'm still waiting for a decent price on a US version of Atlantis and Power Lords but the Brazilian variants play just the same and will do for know.

ScottyDont00 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 You have to post a photo of your Odyssey 2 system for starters, preferably working! Hopefully the photos I posted are sufficient! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Awesome collection Scott!! :thumbsup: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 Well guys, it is now official. I have a complete 100% working Odyssey 2 in my gameroom. I enjoy it a lot and happy to have it in my library and collection. Thank you ScottyDont00 and Tombstone for hooking me up with controllers. It works awesome and flawless! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 You're welcome. Now get to work on collecting those games. Great system, just got overshadowed back in the day. If you don't already have a copy I would recommend Amok! If you can find it. Enjoy- Sean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Bushman Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Well I did it... Count me in the Odyssey 2 club or brotherhood Picked up this lot for $40. The console works awesome! Got a bunch of games. K.C. Munchkin, K.C.'s Krazy Chase, UFO, Alien Invaders Plus, Baseball, Attack of the Timelord, Bowling/Basketball, Computer Golf, Football, Showdown in 2100 A.D., Thunderball, and Speedway/Spin-Out/Crypto-Logic. The controllers were wonky but getting a couple hard wired ones sent to me. 20150915_163248.jpg I had bought an O2 with a malfunctioning joystick. Some models' joysticks don't use switches for detecting button presses, but instead have a hard plastic skirt that presses against a plastic membrane and causes contact between conductive material on the membrane. I repaired these joysticks by disassembling the sticks, using a multimeter to determine the problem spots on the membrane, and applying some conductive ink to said problem areas. Ever since, the sticks work fine. Overall, the console is very easy to take apart, I have a lot of fun with the games (short play cycles, colorful graphics, and some interesting history with the developers of some of the games), and there are some cool add-ons (The Voice module, the Chess Module [Videopac only]). Also, there is an easy to install (if you know basic soldering) mod for getting composite video out of the O2. Pre-made boards can be found on eBay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 The Odyssey 2 is a great little system. I have a complete collection except for Q-Bert (and the board games, but I don't count them.) It has a well-active homebrew community, but in part because of me and my numerous projects. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Odyssey2 was loads of fun when I was a kid. Not necessarily because of the games but because of the futuristic looks. I'd use it in a lot of my make-believe play-in-space scenarios. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I still think Pick Axe Pete is one of the most fun action games from 1982 and I wish someone would remake it or come out with a slick commercial emulator so I could play it more easily. It's a drag there's no Odyssey emulator on Android, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seob Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Try VpacApp, it's a android based odyssey2 emulator. http://www.retrogamenetwork.com/2014/02/23/new-vpacapp-brings-gamers-fresh-magnavox-odyssey-2-emulator-to-android-mobile-devices/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
