Okay, which models of the Odyssey 2/G7000 have controllers that are detachable from the box(aka without having to do modding of any kind to the system)? I do know that the earliest of the Odyssey 2 systems in North America have grey fire buttons, while all other batches have the fire button red, and that the European G7000 has no built-in power button, and the fire button is black. Why won't the VCS/2600, Master system, Genesis nor Colecovison controllers work properly on any of the detachable controller Odyssey 2s on their own? :? :?

The BJ7600 GY02 and BK7600 GY02 models both had removable joysticks. There are black with red action button removables as well (I have 2).

 

The reason other joysticks like Genesis and Atari don't work correctly is that the pinouts are different. If you read further up this thread there is a pinout for each.

Yep, what metarog said. I think it's the earliest models that have detachable joysticks. Consider them like "heavy sixers" of Odyssey 2's! Mine has silver joysticks with silver buttons. The converter allows me to use an Atari joystick, which is wrong, but oh-so-right at the same time.
