This modification was certainly a step in the right direction, it still didn’t look as good as I wanted it to. I was able to lowly notch a hole into the front large enough to fit a cartridge and I did manage to epoxy a left over Atari 2600 cartridge port and card edge connector. I decided to do another mod and see if I could get the cartridge to slide in to the front, or maybe the side. The cartridge mount was kind of sloppy and blocked the view of the switch panel. ![]() While functional, my modification didn’t look that great. ![]() While I found this site to be great as a basic modification tutorial, I wasn’t really happy with the outcome. Curt Vendel offered this tutorial up to the community as a starting point. My first modification followed the tutorial I found online ( here). My first mod used a cartridge guide and slot connector from a broken light sixer that I had laying around, I’ve got a more than reasonable number of Atari 2600’s laying around my “lab”. Eventually a friend asked me if I would be willing to modify their flashback, so I did, then another and another. I didn’t really have any intention of doing much more related to the Flashback. I started out adding a cartridge port to an Atari Flashback 2 of my own.
