  1. You can play lightcycles on atari 2600. It's a cartridge called surround. One of the options in the select menu is just like light cycles, getting progressively faster.
  2. I did'nt realize you were an absolute beginner. Electronics can be a bit rough getting started. Here's some stuff on ebay that fits the bill. One of them, the lazer, is even variable. http://www.ebay.com/itm/PointMaster-Fire-Control-Atari-VCS-2600-by-Discwasher-Auto-Turbo-Fire-/301865464230?hash=item46489571a6:g:gF0AAOSwKtlWhHJC http://www.ebay.com/itm/Atari-2600-LASER-QUICK-FIRE-Adjastable-Auto-Fire-CONTROLLER-NEW-in-BOX/161846098510?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D34859%26meid%3Da3267bd6c6c544898ffc40e287c4f011%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D301865464230 http://www.ebay.com/itm/PointMaster-Fire-Control-Adapter-for-Atari-2600-or-Sears-Tele-Games/182026735460?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D34859%26meid%3Da3267bd6c6c544898ffc40e287c4f011%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D301865464230 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Atari-2600-Pointmaster-Fire-Control-Constant-Fire-Adapter/201513324784?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D34859%26meid%3Da3267bd6c6c544898ffc40e287c4f011%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D301865464230 and here's one of the best books to get you going. Study it, buy a breadboard, and start practicing. keep practcing till your circuits usually work the first time. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Archer-Engineers-Notebook-Electronic-Circuit-Applications-1980-Edition-/301870263017?hash=item4648deaae9:g:K14AAOSwuAVWvIET
  3. this is a pretty simple idea, tho I don't have an actual schematic to post. all you need is an oscillator connected to an output switch transistor. I opened mine up as a kid and it was just a couple/few transistors and a couple of resistors. It would be very easy to make one out of a 555 timer chip setup as an oscillator and hook an npn transistor such as 2N2222 to the output as your switch. Google 555 oscillator schematic, and you'll find a bunch, I'm sure change the main capacitor and add a variable resistor (potentiometer) to make it variable. you can power it off of the atari joystick port, and have a dpdt on off switch for the power lead. google 555 variable oscialltor. wish I had my archer engineer's notebook handy, it has a bunch of designs.
  4. Hello guys and gals, I was unsatsified with the 2600 emulator I have, bcuz it only plays in a 2" window and so I was looking for another modern emulator, and found the article on the other part of this site about z26 and x26.exe. However, all attempts to get x26 fail, because they all point to wintersolace, which apparently, has been sold, and I cannot find any mirrors or alternative sites to get it. All the sites and ways I've found to get to x26 ALL link back to wintersolace. Anyone have a copy they can upload here, or know of a download mirror? Thanks Rayzr
