Off topic for a sec:

How do you hot-link phrases?

Your username over at Atariage was trigun. After you were banned for spamming and harassing the site admin via AIM, you then joined up again under the name Vash and were banned again. Then you tried to sign up yet again as PCbored4404 and posted a dirty avatar and harassed the site admin again before finally being restricted from being able to view the site at all.
i never harrassed him, my friend came over and was being an jerk and cussed him out. i joined up again because i was deeply influenced in the atari and wanted to know everything i could about the atari, and the mod of the Fb2, and then i was banned again, due to name similarities and birthdates. and then later i rejoined as PCBored, i dont recall posting a dirty avatar, if it was that avatar of that anime chick jumping up and down, i belive i put that here first and was politley asked to remove it. and i didnt harrass the site admin again, i didnt harrass the site admin at all. if he says harrassment is asking a friend as to why i was banned, then i wonder what he thinks a hand shake is? im going to take legal action against this little priss, because i want to check up on how to mod the actual FB 2, because u guys only seem to care about it once curt put them up. i cant even be allowed to just view the site. that priss did somthing to where he has my IP addresses. im gonna buy a IP scrambler and hack that site, delete all information, and replace all links on it to a police stations grizley photos. god i hate them now!

Good luck with that legal action./sarc

@trogdorian1: Shut up for a bit. Thanks.

Oh yeah, Albert himself saw that threat you made, and he already reported you to your ISP. Zing!

look at his post later on page 2, or what 5-11 quoted before I told him to shut up.

I stopped by Target today but they didn't have it in yet. I saw Curt's mod, funny how they list the pinouts for the cartridge.

From my experience (and what I've heard) a cartridge slot is very expensive (for a cheap device like this) and would increase the manufacturing cost by a large margin believe it or not. That's probably why it's not in there, no other reason really. Atari carts are NOT hard to find.

I think it's funny how they called the chip "Michelle" - anyone familiar with Atari history probably knows exactly what that means and why they did it. But does Michelle know? It's almost like a free "inside joke" and shows it was made by people who care about the community.

Anyway, yeah too bad it's not more square but I bet a lot of that can be hacked off. And what's with all those crossovers? They REALLY didn't want a two sided board I guess! Again it's all about the CHEAP.

Once I get one of these I fully instead to build a PHAT handheld that will PWN all nOOb comers! 1337!

I heard that they built it with the classic gaming community in mind, so they made it as easy as possible to add a cart slot. Actually, Curt was one of the major people in designing the Flashback 2. As for the cart slot, I remember hearing that Atari/Infogrames would have to support it. I don't think they'd like to deal with people saying "I bought some 25 year old games at a flea market, and they don't work! Help me!" Plus, I suppose I can see the cost of the slot itself being a problem.
