The shape of pins and the plastic bars that go across, missing from the original 2600+ slot have been added. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+sramirez2008 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I can't wait to receive this. It should minimize "bent pins". I was afraid of inserting certain carts into the 2600+ after my initial bent pin. I'm also interested to see how well the Activision carts work with this socket. Thanks for not only addressing this issue, but for providing these to the community. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Activision carts are much better @JetmanUK can you confirm? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about dirty carts, which still worked in a 2600 but not a 2600+? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recent retail manufacturing runs of the 2600+ ship with the updated socket and firmware. Besides the giveaway I dont really see it as a commercial product, but I could be wrong.

I ordered Turmoil from overseas and in transit it went through some, ahem, turmoil, and arrived smashed into a thousand pieces. Using only my cunning and a light fitting I stole from work with some tape, I fashioned a "custom" case. The game, amazing, works perfectly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
