deltronik Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) Check out the videos I linked to... After installing a 2600RGB in a working six switch this is what I see. The artifacts differ a bit with each game, but here is how Asteroids and Baseball look now: https://youtu.be/RRix3JrzRfg https://youtu.be/T3J96dZxDcY I checked continuity through the 2600rgb and adapter board and everything seemed good. Did I mess up the TIA, or something else? Anyone see these glitches before? Edited February 25, 2017 by deltronik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltronik Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 I checked everything on the 2600RGB and adapter board again and found an issue with the connection to pin 34. I tried to re-solder that pin on the adapter board, both the pin header and socket with no luck. Went ahead and jumpered those pins on the adapter board with a short wire. Now it works! SO, those videos I uploaded are examples of what the 2600 video output looks like without pin 34 on the TIA connected! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty straight forward since my TIA was already socketed. Although, I should have paid closer attention to the low profile vs tall pin headers. As I was putting together the adapter board, I first soldered the wrong pin header in place and had to desolder it. That's probably when I messed up pin 34!

deltronik Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 Just an FYI to anyone who might find this thread when troubleshooting their own board: All pins should connect through except for pins 3, 15, 16, 17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
