Timballisto Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 Hi everyone, I went to a yard sale the other day and considered myself very lucky to pick up a copy of Miner 2049er Vol 1 & 2 for the 2600. When I got home and tried to play them on my 7800 I couldn't get the carts to fit into the 7800's cart slot. They didn't want to insert all the way into the system. I didn't want to force them too hard for fear of breaking the entire machine. And I did push pretty hard but to no avail. Is there a problem getting carts to fit into the 7800? I've had a few carts that seemed to fit very tight but not that wouldn't go into the system at all. Any advice would be appreciated. P.S. I do have a 2600 I could try playing them on, but it is in storage and I'd prefer to leave it that way since all my other 2600 games work fine in the 7800.

+Mitch Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 Yes, the prongs on the cart are too long, that's why it won't go in all the way. I use the 7800 high score cart which has a pass through on it to play these games on my 7800. Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timballisto Posted May 31, 2003 Author Share Posted May 31, 2003 Sadly I don't have the hi score cart. You said the prongs are to long. I read on the Tigervision page that the cart could be moded. Would you just have to cut the prongs a little bit shorter to make the cart fit in the 7800? Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 Yes, I suppose you could do that, but it hurt the value of the games if you ever wanted to resell them. Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
