atwwong Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I just received a 7800 from e-Pay without an expansion port, but it plays Robot Tank flawlessly along with the other titles mentioned here in the 7800 FAQ. Aside from opening up the 7800 and looking for the timing chip, is the bronze vs. the silver cart connector a reliable determining factor for 2600 compatibility? Does anyone have 7800s with silver cart connectors that work with both Robot Tank and the Supercharger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Does anyone have 7800s with silver cart connectors that work with both Robot Tank and the Supercharger? I've got at least two here that do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpfalcon2003 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Robot tank dosen't work on mine. Sucks because I really like that game. I have to play it on my brother's system. I just let him keep it with his carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like a complete crap shoot when it comes to getting a 100% 2600 compatible unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atwwong Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 Hah! I opened up the 7800 and it definitely has the expansion port, but no opening for it on the console shell. Weird...? No, actually I'm betting Atari placed original units into console shells assembled in Taiwan. Still, one cannot tell what kind of unit one will be getting unless one opens it first. Fat chance!
