==Compatibility== [[File:Starparth.jpg|thumb|The Starpath Supercharger by itself. The device has a unique shape.]] The Supercharger is compatible with [[Atari 2600]], [[Atari 2600#Atari 2600 Jr.|Atari 2600 Jr.]], and the [[Sears Video Arcade]] consoles. Due to the shape of the Supercharger, it does not normally fit into the [[ColecoVision#Expansion Modules and accessories|ColecoVision's Expansion Module #1]], which is an adapter that allows the [[ColecoVision]] to play [[Atari 2600]] games. However, if the cover of the expansion module is removed or an extender is used, the Supercharger will work. Extenders were sent to customers who called Starpath about such issues.<ref name = "RE Jun 1983">{{cite magazine | last = Goodman | first = Danny | title = Starpath's Supercharger for Atari |magazine=Radio-Electronics | volume = 54 | issue = 6 | pages =65β67 | date = June 1983}}</ref> The Supercharger does not work on many [[Atari 7800]] systems (which is typically backward compatible with the [[Atari 2600]]), although it does with some early models of the system. After Atari installed a circuit to fix a compatibility issue with the 2600 version of ''[[Dark Chambers]]'', it subsequently caused incompatibility with the Supercharger and some other games that use the FE [[bank switching]] method.<ref name = "HH 2004">{{cite book |last=Yarusso |first=Albert |editor-first=Joe |editor-last=Grand |title=Hardware Hacking: Have Fun While Voiding Your Warranty |publisher=Syngress |year=2004 |pages=[https://archive.org/details/hardwarehackingh00gran/page/228 228β232] |chapter=Chapter 7: Hack Your Atari 2600 and 7800 |isbn=1-932266-83-6 |chapter-url-access=registration |chapter-url=https://archive.org/details/hardwarehackingh00gran/page/228 }}</ref>
