Microjak Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I would love to see a collaboration with https://www.decksaver.com/ ,they make fantastic quality covers for synths, decks etc.Ive used them many times and have always been impressed with the quality and fit. They are a UK based company so maybe Ben could get in touch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86WARD Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Do the carts need both plastic pins to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 On the 7800 and plus, no, as the plastic pin is to open the dust door and most those systems lack them. Older 2600 consoles have dust flaps, but I think its internally all one piece, so as long as your cart still has one pin, it should still open the dust flap. What, did you get a cart with a broken pin or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO that could have been thought through better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I think the included cover is ok for now but the decksavers are a much thicker semi rigid plastic that are also more snug fitting and they allow for cable/lead connection during the design process.

It sits well enough to cover the slot, but I’d like some kind of classy fabric with an Atari logo - embroidery would be even sexier 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t have notches for power/HDMI cables, so probably safe to say it’s protective, however it’s sturdy enough I’m using it like a dust cover. Given I don’t keep it plugged in normally the cover sits nicely. I’m replacing my 5-port HDMI switch with a 7-port, however so that will change, but as long as the cart port is covered I don’t mind if it’s raised in the back 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
