This year's motto was "Play" so for the closing ceremony I wanted the whole audience to play with my Atari 2600 console. Therefore I have built an interface which allows me to simulate a joystick and paddles with my Arduino board. The directions are triggered by tracking the motion of the audience. Since I couldn't test any of this in advance I wrote an AIR application which allowed me to adjust the motion tracking zones and the sensitivity on the fly.

Scratch-built rocket based upon the ever classic Atari 2600 joystick.
First Flight: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SIJ80a00_Y
Second Flight: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeUf983jxwM
Console: Atari 2600
Model: CX-2600
Switches: Six Switch
Light Sixer
Made In Taiwan
Supplies: Regular Screwdriver
To detach the switch board from the bottom of the motherboard, just unscrew the two screws on the bottom with a regular screwdriver.
This is a better glance at the six switch Atari 2600. You can see why they call it a six switch, because it has six switches. Left to right. Power (On/Off), TV Type (color b-w), Left Difficulty (a b), Right Difficulty (a b), Game Select, and Game Reset.
To get the EMI shield case off, just unscrew the four (two on the top, two on the bottom) screws on the bottom with a screwdriver.
Supplies: Cloth and Miniature Eyeglass Screwdriver
A lot of Atari 2600 games have a dust cover (see photo), which protects the contacts inside the game. To push the dust cover inward, take a small screwdriver (my case a miniature eyeglass screwdriver) and in the left (or right) corner push down on the open hole. The dust cover will pop down and expose the contacts.
Another method (which I don't recommend unless your game doesn't work after cleaning it) is taking the front cartridge sticker off via a hair dryer (melts the glue under the sticker), and gently peeling back the sticker (only half-way) and exposing the screw(s). You can unscrew the screw(s) and take apart the cartridge and clean the contacts this way.
To reapply the sticker, you'll have to use multi-purpose adhesive spray.
Enduro is a videogame designed by Larry Miller and published by Activision for the Atari 2600 video game system in 1983. The object of the game is to be in an endurance race and to pass a certain amount of cars each day as to continue the race the next day.

Console: Atari 2600

Switches: Six Switch
Light Sixer
Made In Taiwan
Supplies: Cloth, miniature eyeglass screwdriver (or small screwdriver), Craft Foam Sheet, Duster (Endust), and patience
Before cleaning the cartridge connector (where the game cartridge inserts into the Atari 2600) I use compressed air (Endust) to make sure there's no dust on the motherboard, or the cartridge connector.
I use the miniature eyeglass screwdriver to gently press down on the left (or right) hole of the cartridge connector. You don't have to do this. This (sometimes) opens up the dust cover much wider.
NOTE: Make sure to be very careful (have patience) when taking off the 36+ year old ribbon cable from the switch board.

An old cutout from my Atari Ghostbusters game.
Ghostbusters action game for the Atari 2600 that combines an overhead view and a side-view.
Year: 1981
Model Number: ORG 400
For: Atari 2600 Game Cartridges
This is an unopened bookshelf storage case for Atari 2600 game cartridges. It holds 8 games. Charley never used it.
Dave's Xmas present. Pretty much mint in box. Cost me $12. Awesome. Will hook up today & make sure it works.
If you look closely (enlarge photo) you can see which color of wire goes where.
I ordered this board from Best-Electronics, based in San Jose, CA and the largest Atari parts store in the world.
This is what a joystick does when the white plastic joystick handle (and red button) hit the domed contacts.
This board is suppose to last a lifetime and better than the original CX-40 PCB boards. I have to agree, these boards are awesome. They seem to be 25% - 30% better than a new original board.
The next photo shows what the final joystick looks like.
See anything different? Combat (1977) is missing its sticker on top of the cartridge. These can fall off, especially since the game is 40 years old.
Charley took care of his games, because (besides the sticker being off) they're in great condition.
