Sure, it's pretty easy, but those things are pretty much worthless for a decent portable... no cart. slotjohnbjuice wrote:You know it is 500 times easier to portablize a aoac (atari on a chip). If you would like more info or to buy my aoac, pm me!

Unless your buying one of the Flashback 2 AOAC systems, yeah I'd agree with Spongebuell. If you get the FB2 and have a cart slot you can have it where you can play more games. Good luck finding one though, I've only seen a handful in over a year.

$70 on an Atari 2600 (even a heavy sixer) & games is a rip off.

WHAT?! I paid only something like $35 (tops) for an Atari 2600 4-switcher, 15-20 games, some paddles and joysticks, all shipped. Can't fathom why the price should have risen that much. Atari 2600s are far too common and item to be of that value.atari2600a wrote:$70 on an Atari 2600 (even a heavy sixer) & games is a rip off.

At my Walmart, there were several FB2's when I got mine. So if anyone wants one, I might be able to find one.Sparkfist wrote:Unless your buying one of the Flashback 2 AOAC systems, yeah I'd agree with Spongebuell.

To be blunt most Ataris are 4-switch. The heavy-sixers, juniors and any other variation under the sun is only a fraction of the number that 4-switchers were made. Go with it, besides if 4-switchers were not that great I'm sure Ben would have invested time in buying Juniors to build his portables.Bass Creator wrote:naa the flash backs were lame 4 swich

The 4-switch and 6-switch are nearly the same thing, they're not "lame". Besides the 4 switch can be cut down pretty small, smaller than the 6-switch unless you completely remake the system board from scratch.

if you look at a 4-switcher, you'll see that there are these 2 difficulty switches (nobody really uses them) on the top, next to the joystick ports. On the 6-switcher, they moved those switches to the front, with power and all those other ones.
