    I took a defective 2600 and merge it with FlashBack 2, in such way that you can still play the FB2 fully, and using the channel 2-3 switch, toggle ON/OFF the FB2 and use real cartridges and controllers as well, all the switches and ports still perform their original functions, also you get composite video out.

    Also half way through this mod, I actually found what was wrong with the 2600 :-/
    Enjoy!

    That is a nice approach versus adding a cart slot to the side of the Flashback 2 console casing. Plus you gain the composite without needing to do an additional mod. One thing I like about the original 2600 consoles is how solid the cart connector is. Have you noticed much of a loss in sound quality by going the FB2 route versus the original 2600 PCB? Any game carts have issues?

    There are some carts that do not work, but I think all the ones I own do work, as far as the sound I haven't noticed quality degradation.
    I also modded the 7800, 5200, Intellivision, Coleco and TG16 for composite.
