I had seen a couple threads on other sites about people making joystick testers for the Atari 2600. I thought they were pretty cool so I decided to make my own. Of course I had to be a little different. Where the others were made out of Altoids tins or other small boxes, I decided to make it look like any other 2600 cart.







The label is not the final one that I will use, I just printed that on paper to see how it looked. Also, I should have straightened out the DB9 connector and placed in further inside the cart. The power comes from a CR2032 battery in the cart. At this point it is not replaceable, but it should last for a very long time. I have run out of donor carts so it will be a while before I try a better version.
