    Default I need help building 7800 adapter's for the atari 5200

    Hello,
    I have the 8BitDomain 7800 adapter for the 5200.
    I would like to get a few reproductions made the video game community if that's possible that would be great.
    I know less that 10 were made of the adapter I have. here is a picture of the adapter I have.

    This is a very strange thread... Why are specifically 10 units needed? Why on Atari Age in particular? This sounds more like contract job than a simple "mod this for me plz" thread. I really don't understand the reasoning for this thread.

    Also, going by the size of the 2600/7800 cart slot, you'd have to cut the 7800 motherboard to get it to fit in that case. That is definitely not easy and would require a modder with professional skill... Again, this thread is confusing. It's like you want to hire somebody to do this, but without actually saying it.

    Sounds like you have one of those 7800 adapters that was made by 8BitDomain several years ago before they went bust. Those actually use a custom-made PCB as opposed to a hacked up 7800 motherboard so you'd probably run into legal trouble if you tried to copy the PCB design.

    He wants someone to make 10 clones of this rare...thing and then he'll sell them on atariage. What's not to get?

    Perhaps this thread should be locked and the OP should get a warning?

    Or he could be forced to attend a grammar class on how to use an apostrophe.

    Look, I just wanted to get a few made so that the people that got did have a chance to get one would be able have a unit.
    I do not want to get rich off this in fact the person that build's the kit can have what money is made from the project. Also, 8bit went bust and it's almost identical to the official Atari unit,The only difference is that it has an av out on it.
    Also, I would give 8BitDomain credit had have reproduction on the motherboard to avoid legal issues. I wanted to give back to the community not cause any trouble.
