Atari in a CD-Rom Slot

Post by keilbaca »

Its been a long time since I posted here... but I figured I should post this, as I have used Ben's guide for some of the mod.

Basically, I cut the board into a 4"x4" square, and followed Ben's guide to making it work again. I got stuck on the paddles, thankfully I have a 1983 field manual in which I used to get the paddles to work. I used a modified vesion of Ben Heck's Version 2 A/V mod. Here's the end result, I know it needs repainted, as soon as I get an airbrush, it'll be repainted and most likely a custom paint job as well.

Thats pretty neat. The case looks good with the black. Why the big PC power supply though? How did you cut through the steel? I've tried it with a dremel and it took forever.

Too much homebrew when it comes to the 2600

Nice mod, do you actually have that installed in your tower? The only other thing to say is really, next time give it a little bit better paint job.

As for that game. I'm not too suprised. They had seseame street for the Atari, McDonald's had a game for the NES and oh the only time religion go together with video games; Bible Stories. The 8bit era was the best time for games, everything that could be a game was made into one, now it's too repetitive and political.

The game is a hack made by neotokyo from AtariAge. Its a hack of kaboom! in which instead of catching bombs, you catch poo.

Yeah, as i said its still in the works with the paint job, that's when I can get around to doing it. Its installed into my shuttle but I never got a chance to get pictures of it. The big power supply thing is a ripped apart external DVD-RW to test it to make sure it works.

Heh…that's pretty damn neat!

I now feel the urge to…mod my G5…

Nah, cutting through 1/8" perf aluminum isn't smart to begin with--especially when it forms the front of a $2500 computer…
