Hi.
I would like to hack my atari flashback 2 to make it have a cartridge port. I have read all over the internet that this is possible. Unfortunately it requires me to have a cartridge connector "guide" that is rare and costs like $10 to order from some company that has a $20 order minimum. I was thinking about making one myself. I don't have any atari 2600 cartridges at the moment, and I just wanted to know what the connectors looked like at the bottom so that I could have an idea of how to make this. I was planning to just make my own guide out of wood and then use some stiff copper wires to make the connectors. I'd solder everything together in the same way I would an actual cartridge connector. Also, for those who know a lot about electronics, is copper a good metal to use for this?
Thanks!
