ON ADVENTURE II use the B/W SWITCH TO SEE INSIDE

Just go get a old remote control for a TV and snip one off!!! its the rubber thingie its just not CUT TO SIZE also windex it 1st so the cat wont eat it when installing it as windex makes cats run just point bottle at cat\ DONOT SPRAY CAT With wINDEX thanks its pretty easy to steal one of those rubber contact things from a old remote control..

hmm on my modded one when you flash between hombew cart external cart of asteroid(crockrocks) and MISSILE COMMAND or switch between real missile command and flashback one it screws up missile command and plays weird the smartbombs keep comming LOUDER AND LOUDER from the bottom UP and or from top down and score runs up all by it self.. I THINK THERE IS A LOOSE PIN !! I almost forgot yars revenge LOCKS UP WHEN I PLAY as I cant help but do what I do to lock it up... I dont how ever know what it is.. that makes it lock up other than my diaganal joystick movments witch I always use my brother nor freinds can not figure out why I run faster in football cause diagnal movments like snoopy flight go faster A SLICK STICK IS AWESOME FOR THESE MOVEMENTS as its TRUE 8way never fail 8way!! when you goto the corner it shorts the corner not having to use switches... really good design exept for its interferance it creates.. static. his page imtentionally left blank or something like that its spelled wrong I only saw it TWICE and dont want to see it again as It would potentally fry ..

even more yea

Does that Goodwill always get Atari Stuff!!??

If all you're looking to do is a custom PCB (vs. Ben's method of hacking them), and no hacking up of an original 2600 for a TIA, you can always get brand new TIAs here: http://www.myatari.com/atari26.txt You...are...awesome. I had thought that since the TIA was a custom chip made for Atari that I wouldn't be able to find it without reverse engineering. I guess my question now is, "how legal is it to buy this?" I realize that Atari Inc is unlikely to prosecute me for buying this thing but I never like doing something illegal even if I probably won't be caught. Is this something where I put it in my own creation they could sue for me stealing their patented (one presumes) technology? I have no knowledge of the legalities of such things? JUST LICENCE IT !!! they did why not u.. I am thinking of using a mini TFT SCREEN ON A REAL ATARI 2600 since I got my burner to make carts using old carts and a 7404 I could just use a big chip and figure out how to burn at addresses on my burner and then just use switches to SELECT lines and have a multi cart then just put a screen on a real atari there is plenty of room for a battery and charger system a bike light headlamp charger system would work great lithium batteries would work great too. If I turned the charging system off and ran from battery w out charging system It probably would last longer.. also I just figured out WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO HAVE THE ATARI FACING YOU I could just turn it around and the joystick ports would be facing front I already know the controls.. I just thought about making a TV into a 2600 but NAW I bet I could repair that damn polaroid TV or get a smaller LCD TV and put it on top of the regular 2600 there would be lots of room for batteries and other mods like multiple carts hooked up at same time and a address select witch would make FCC interferance like my FB II does w cart plugged in but I could have all lines hooked to all carts then select the one I want w a10 that would be cool to have a multi cart then all I would need is a zero insertion socket.. I keep wondering why someone just doesnt make a 2600 blank cart w usb and memory .. mabie its illegal to make Atari 2600 carts but blank ones ??.. you would think as a project build it youre self might work..

I see what happened this happens all the TIME with silk screen crocks when i worked at automed we would have vareinces in silk screen that only could be TOLD by human voice as a pass it along!!! they placed the circle in exact place that the pin needed was they just didnt use a jumper wire cause thats part of a MOD and they are cheap...

SPELUNKER TODAY

AT LEAST THEY LISTENED on this project witch they should have asked what WE want after all we buy the stuff..

I HATE emulated crap NOAC what the hell is that if it a nintendo on a chip then nintendo should sue atari for using NINTENDO on flashback as punishment for not using a pokey chip..for sound.

use snippers they work great also NEW NON mashed vise grips grip well too dry wall screws work great too!!!...

THE ONLY way to repair a PADDLE IS to TAKE IT APART the Best way is what I did REPLACE THE 1MEG OHM POT any one or you who can solder can replace a POT.. I got super lucky and found a BARREL of paddles THEY WERE SUPER TIGHT AND GREAT but they were not the same shaft on the paddle !!! so like you said night maire anyway I just reused the wiper from the old paddles and used the bottom metal case and the new resistor from the new one cause the new metal bottom was all filled with new grease TUNER GREASE witch youre TV REPAIR SHOP SHOULD Be able to easily repair a paddle by just cleaning the resistor and the wiper and adding new grease TUNER GREASE would be ideal cause its made for tuners EXEPT DO NOT USE THE RED stuff as it dries up the coleco ones I found .. anyway its not hard to repair a paddle the hardest thing is unsoldering it to remove the pot and bending the case off the pot w out breaking it then just use paper towel and very carefully clean the wiper then watch putting it back inside to see how it connects then gently bend it up a little then clean the reistor black ring w 3 connections on it w paper towel and some windex but be carefull .. THE HARDEST PART OF PADDLE REPAIR IS CLEANING THE WIPER OF ALL THE CARBON FROM THE REISITOR W OUT BENDING IT.. but if you do this it will work better than new.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have repaired all my paddles and I can tell witch ones I did last cause I got lazy. and they are not as good as the 1st one I did.. there is no way to fix a gittering paddle w out whiping the wiper off cause it wont connect.. you can try pulling up whilst turning it and if it works better than you could see why cleaning and bending the wiper makes it work better.. AFTER ALL Its just a 1meg ohm pot thats all a paddle is it charges a capacitor then the game measures the voltage.. HAVE FUN.. now where is that paddle size jumper and (RED FORMAN WAS RIGHT THE FUTURE IS SOLDERING )

Almost forgot unless you FIND A SUPER security driver set you can use a snippers to loosen screws!... I replaced w long drywall screws and plastic standoffs cause those screws are to hard to open. Did you fix it ??

Good thing there is a ch select switch INside ch2 or ch3!!! mabie its stuck on ch3 witch is why you can not tune on ch3 if thats the chanel you selected anyway mabie its stuck between ch3 and ch2 on the switch!..

hmm mabie youre tv has IRC HRC AND STANDARD CABLE SELECT TUNING or its just BAD my freinds sony tv has crap on ch11 I would run it into a VCR on ch3 or ch2 and SEE what that looks like then you will know weather its the TV tuner or the Atari. there is a adjust for inside the Atari for channel witch might have got changed over years ... also DONT use batteries use 5v+ dc power pack or 6v DC power pack as batteries always DIE.. also there is a channel select switch INSIDE dang it now i have to open mine to see whats inside again!! this will give me someting to do.

More and likely its just +9v DC you could take the cover off and look to see if the TIP goes to + but you would think its normal why would they inverse something in 1979 ... SO I would assume it would just take a normal 9v power pack. i KNOW thats a PONG varient.

WHY NOT JUST BUILD A CARTRIDGE THAT TAKES MEMORY STICKS AND EMULATES AN ATARI 2600 cart and has built in menu to select fat .bin files!!! like compact flash to 2600 cart that would be easyer to make than a FB3.. It could come with a HOMEBREW GAME!!...

the link works now and I have 2 32k ram boards.. I am in the proccess of modding a 16k to 64k if i can understand the links. then one of the 400's can be modded to 64k.

YOu have to WATCH where you put the rams the ROM GOES 1st closest to the CART then my has 32K then 16k in the 800 if I put the 16k then the 32K it thinks the 32k is only 16K..

oops I forgot to copy paste with paint and left the prt screen fullscreen.

Look what I got off EBAY. SOMEONE thought they could over bid me but at 30 15 seconds left I just said MINE!!! Atari 400 with Paddles In box A joystick In box!! then I begged to have d button checked to see if it beeps she said all buttons BEEP but she didnt have a RCA TO F converter so she could not test w tv although I think its ok.. I will repost with pictures if it works when I get it.. I have some 32K boards and am trying to figure out how to mod the 16k to 48k so I can mod a nother 400 to take 48k or 64k depending on the mod I do to the 16k. the mod im going to do to a 800 16k from the salvaged 16k's I kept from the one I threw away it was SO nasty the dirt would NOT COME OFF I should have saved the insides but the power section was toast I kept the rom ram though on my old 800. here in pic 1 is 2nd auction I got and 2nd pic is 1st one I won. this one $61 +3.00 shipping.. the shipping I offered $10 more incase they needed extra outer box to ship.. ebay item # .
