Gandor Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Put me down for option #2: The combo cart, with label Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Defender_2600 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I design this cartridge to can work with each one of the games only, or as a combo with two games choose one or the other from a switch. So you have two order options. 1. You could buy one board with one of the games who you prefer Rampage or Double Dragon, or two boards for the two games. After take a plastic enclosure from any old original Atari 2600 or Atari 7800 cartridge, and place there your new boards. For this case I have not support decals. If you want you can print alone one, on a printing shop. 2. You could buy the same board with a bigger eprom ic which hosts both games, plus a switch to choose each one want to play. In this case I will support two decals -face & plate-, which will design a good friend here KevinMos3, and I will present it when its ready, in the first post of this thread. Awesome PCB, Panos! And amazing improvement as always, Kevin! I would confirm my preference for two boards (for the two games), therefore I also prepared two labels in case you like them. For coherence I have used the Kevin's Double Dragon label (Color Edit), I love her. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santosp Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Very nice decal indeed! Kevin have send that to me also, plus two other variations with different background. Too pity, they didn't print cause all the orders are "combo" type. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrok7 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I'll take a combo cart and label and box if one can be had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santosp Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Hi. Box isn't available cause cost me so much to buy plus shipping here. This was a good lesson I learned from prior construction. Although believe me, I would like very much to present a complete construction to the members. Maybe if I lived there.

santosp Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Hi. From this point and after, I haven't the possibility to keep queue on this cartridge, even for someone which stated interest, and has not paid or respond till now. Two single pcb's reserved for Defender_2600 member, and only few (about four) remain available. I mention this public, so there are no misunderstandings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phattyboombatty Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Panos - no rush or anything, but when are these shipping? Just want to know so that I have a rough idea. Also, did you wind up offering two options (combo specification or PCB neat)? I don't think I specified, but I'm interested in the combo with the manual switch.

santosp Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 From all these bubble envelopes -26 carts total-, missing one thing. The decal! Tomorrow envelopes closed and after will be mailed. Right. Yours is as you described above. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+GoldenWheels Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Would love to see your guys finished combo products when you are done. I've got my donor shell all ready but interested to see how you guys handle the switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santosp Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Hi there. Why don't you present your modified combo enclosure?? Is a good idea so take a look and the others. Edited October 5, 2015 by santosp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santosp Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 Few MORE words on the subject. Initially the PCB designed to have on board this little latch switch, on the back -solder- side. But at the end and after a careful look, I see cause was impossible even for me, to make an accurate hole on the plastic enclosure. This mainly due to the limitation of the plastic shell in relation to the PCB. The last one don't have a locking point on the back shell of enclosure. Therefore it was the only way to add a small twisted cable, with the switch at one end of this. Now someone can make a small hole using 6,5 mm drill, and place there from inside the micro switch with a little hot glue. Of course you must be very careful with the hot glue, not to come in contact with the stem of micro switch and destroy it. Believe me to make this alteration on 33 devices, take me some hours, because of super small switch. But I had no inclination to send you something that you could not ever finish. Not one moment!

+save2600 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Would love to see your guys finished combo products when you are done. I've got my donor shell all ready but interested to see how you guys handle the switch. Same here! If the switch were simple enough, thought I'd maybe desolder it and mount a toggle switch to the end label instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santosp Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 I believe cause this switch is very distinctive, vs a toggle switch. At least in my eyes. Dimensions is 7L x 7W mm, with 16 mm height counting from its base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 oh... that's a round push button switch! Only have to drill a small hole in that case. Was thinking it was a small sliding switch for some reason. I hate cutting squares/rectangles into plastic! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Pcb arrived today and plays great! Not sure how to mount the switch yet, but perhaps internal to the cart with small hole for paper clip to press the button? I would love to see what others have done. The big sticker is a little wringled due to shipping. Hopefully it will smooth out when stuck to the cart. Sandwiching the sticker between cardboard would have prevented this. Sticker printing is of high quality and the fit is very nice. Who printed and cut them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santosp Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 Sorry for this, and glad who finally go well. Printing done from a big printing company here in Greece, with automated cuts during the printout from the same machine. http://www.copyexpress.gr/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
