Breakpack Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 It acts as a 2 port 5200(and hooks up to the tv)...Ive had it about 13 years....Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Have you ever opened it up? It looks like somebody put a 2 port MB into a 4 port case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRetroGamer Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Yeah, you are missing the plastic trim on the front that covers up the (unused) middle two controller ports. I think they used 4 port shells for a while there and just changed a piece of trim, probably just to get rid of excess inventory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that is exactly it, I might have a replacement for you if you're interested, Breakpack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophero Sly Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 My 2-port is missing that piece of trim, and just like yours it has 4 ports cut-out, but I thought all 2-ports looked that way underneath the trim. Do some 2-ports have body shells with cut-outs for only 2 ports? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 The two port system uses the same case as the four port system. They just have a piece of plastic trim that goes around the front to hide the extra two holes. I was unaware of it for years, till the thing got dropped and the front come off and I saw it had four holes in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Interesting, I just removed the front plastic piece from one of my 2-port 5200s and sure enough, it has the holes for all four ports. You learn something new every day! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
