42bs Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Strange pin layout. All are of equal lenght. The GND and power pins should be longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songbird Posted July 10 Author Share Posted July 10 Next run of carts have the staggered pins; i just didn't grab one for the cart photo. But some batches from the factory come this way, it's hit-or-miss. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brek Martin Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Honesty and integrity are often spoken together, but they aren't the same thing. A three legged chair lacks integrity because it doesn't work. The dishonesty comes if the three legged chair is presented as something that does. The cartridge I see here looks familiar to me. I could me mistaken, but I'm not mistaken about mine. It's presented as something pretty. A collector's item, but in some circumstances, won't work. If the solution is to then sand the physical cartridge with sandpaper, it's no longer a collector's item. If at the same time, you fail to acknowledge the process of backing it up, it's also unusable. Staggered pins are a curiosity to me, but no more. You might as well go for ESD strategy to connect ground, but I hope you aren't failing at integrity in dealings with fans in the manner Atari always have toward other companies. If I see someone get excited for something and suffer the same kind of disappointment I did, and the same kind of disappointment new Atari customers have had (ie. the non-working 2600 carts), I can assure you that I'll be more affected than having the same thing happen to me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not have been prudent to talk about dumping a cartridge here before anyone knew who I was or what I was up to, but that can only be interpreted as dishonesty. It isn't evidence of actual dishonesty. I was too busy answering to fallout from that to call out the actual dishonesty of selling a dud product. It takes a weak character to run and hide in the face of accusation. I'd have been over this is long ago if the problem was properly acknowledged, and stated as being fixed with something better than sand the cartridge back with sandpaper!

WesleyrpgAust Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I'm a big fan of Songbird, but i just don't get the release of this title. Yes it's an expensive title, but it is still available as new old stock from best electronics for $125 US. Or pay Songbird $80 for the reprint/re-release. Not sure which one i'd prefer? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
