chas10e Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 I've got a Super Pong that displays a black screen. I haven't had time yet to try to fix it. there is a channel selector switch inside there as well ... a sqare hole UNDER the battery holder ... also best on an older TV the battery holder should be phillips screws while getting all the way inside the console requires a special security bit RickR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted August 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 good to know! I have a whole box of special bits from Harbor Freight. I also need to test with a power adapter instead of the D batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted August 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Really like the look of those handhelds. I guess I'm not familiar with that brand. They are an off brand of unknown name. They don't really have any identifiable brand -- they just say "Made in Hong Kong". I'll have to ask my brother where we got the football game as kids...but we were pretty poor (not that I knew it at the time), and I'm guessing it was a cheaper alternative to the Mattel football game...probably under $10. The Football I bought does not work, but I remember it playing exactly like the Mattel version. The only difference is that the buttons are placed a little differently. Knock-off city. Basketball does work, but it's much different than Mattel basketball. The play ends if any of the computer players touch you. And you score anytime you shoot from straight on (horizontal or vertical) to the basket...regardless if there is a defender in the way. The placement of the shoot button is really bad. It's not a good game. You are right, they both have a cool look. I'm going to keep them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeJ07 Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Oh, those aren't Wii guitars. They're actually PS2, for Guitar Hero, but I like having a place to hang them out of the way now. chas10e 1 Quote "I'd buy that for a dollar!" -Smash T.V.

jmjustin6 Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Im trying to hook up the 2600 but its coming in blurry. Im gonna guess its because the 2600 plug wont go in all the way. Its because of the 4 shields on the 2600 plug. Thwy are stopping it from going in any further Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted August 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 It still needs an RF adapter. I almost bought a similar tv a few weeks ago...but didn't feel up to making an adapter to make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmjustin6 Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Hmm how do i go about doing that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted August 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 You'll need to make a custom connector. Ebay parts. RCA connector on one end, wired to an RF screw on the other. With no guarantee that it will work. PM me if you need more info. I can get you going in the right direction. Justin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowsdower70 Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Could you nab something like this and then just get the RCA to coax?http://www.showmecables.com/product/F-Type-Female-to-3-5mm-Mono-Male-Adapter.aspx RickR 1 Quote "For you - Rowsdower from the 70 - have been appointed Omnivisioner of the Game Grid." ~ Atari Adventure Square Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the exact thing that would have worked on the TV I saw recently. For Justin, he just needs one that is an RCA connector instead of the 1/8" plug.

chas10e Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) see if a mono plug fits in there ( I have a similar TV ) it would be about the same size as a 2600 power plug ( MAKE SURE IT ISN"T PLUGGED IN TO WALL !!! if it does you'd want an adapter to go from that to an RCA female Edited August 4, 2016 by chas10e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted August 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Then i just use this one right? Yes. You screw this one into the thing you buy from ebay...then the other end goes into the TV. Think of it as an experiment. It's only a few bucks down the tube if it doesn't work. But if it does....GLORY!

LeeJ07 Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 My trip to the retro store was fruitful today, though my haul was admittedly slim. I have to stick to cheaper prices because of a tight budget, so had to avoid awesome stuff like NES Pinball for $10. Anywho, Kirby's Pinball Land, Legacy of the Wizard, and Phoenix.
