Mockduck Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I have read anecdotal reports that the new 2600+ cartridge connector, the bit with the teeth where you plug the carts in, might be a bit looser and have weaker pins than original hardware. If this is true, what would happen if you swapped the 2600+ pins with an original Atari 2600 pin connector? Would it (maybe?) resolve some game loading issues like with Activision carts? Would it be relatively easy to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_from_the_80s Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I don't know the answers to most of your questions, but a 2600 original would not have the additional contacts to support 7800 carts. And people say Activision carts have problems on original hardware too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockduck Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 Good point, would have to be a 7800 edge connector or whatever it's called. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
