Wrong colors, and maybe screen roll if your tv can't handle 50Hz images.

Atari 2600 in movies or TV shows
Cambouis de l'Atari replied to OldSchoolRetroGamer's topic in Atari 2600
Not a console, but a cx40 stick (or repro) spotted on season 3 ep 6 of Upload (available on prime video), a futuristic comedy where the guy is exploring the memory from a deceased guy's hard drive, using the stick. Who needs more than one button huh ? 😋 -
Does Fatal Run (PAL) have unusual sync timing?
Cambouis de l'Atari replied to Linards Ticmanis's topic in Atari 2600
PAL light sixer on a PAL Sony TV, Fatal Run is ok, although screen jumps one time between title/level/game. Rock 'n rope has some colors, but is very greyish indeed. The carts : -
Hello, As said is object, I’d like to order that bundle at what seems a bargain to me : 189$ But it seems unfortunately that they only ship to US... I asked them if there is a way to ship to Belgium, but still waiting for an answer. So would some valued us atariage member accept to be intermediary between atari.com and I ? Thank you : )

Connect a US Atari 2600 to a European TV (ANT IN)
Cambouis de l'Atari replied to eestijama's topic in Atari 2600
They are not the most common, but I have 2 ntsc compatible crts (one of them is a soooo cute barbie tv 😋). I too can’t imagine playing 2600 on something else than a crt ! -

Connect a US Atari 2600 to a European TV (ANT IN)
Cambouis de l'Atari replied to eestijama's topic in Atari 2600
Or a ntsc compatible tv ; ) Which most recent tvs are. The simpliest is to cut the us antenna plug and install a male coax connector. -
With the CX40, it's very simple to rewire it for lefties. https://youtu.be/OTan3O7XVZE

Seems I was the only one of the crowd bold enough to use it ?

If you want to google translate this, here is what I thought about : https://cambouisdelatari.wordpress.com/2014/11/06/le-spectravideo-compumate/ tldr : great for collection, but crap to use !

Some here don't like him, but did you try Hozer Video ?
-
Yes it's the R203. Do you mean that the heat at the resistor is normal, the smoke just coming from the capacitor ? Or that 7.80v is too much and we should expect 5v ? If someone can confirm ? I'm sorry, I'm not used to the 800 board. Top voltage regulator seems ok. Could someone show me some points where to check the voltage ? Or point me to some ressources on 800 failure trackings ?

Hello, Last time I plugged my 800, I smelled a nasty smoke... it was still working but I switched it off quickly. I opened it, and located the source of heat : a resistor. I also noticed that one of the 4700µF capacitors was puffy. So I ordered 2 capas and replaced them. But that resistor is still getting very hot when powered... Edit : there is 7.80v on that resistor. Any idea someone ? Thanks for reading !

Can you beat my high score in Enduro?

I don't know... I hadn't any problem drilling or grinding the case of this jr. When I did this, nice pi cases were quite rare, maybe today I'd get a megadrive or snes case.

For my RaspPi, I found this case far cooler ? https://cambouisdelatari.wordpress.com/2016/04/28/la-2600jr-passe-a-3-14-voici-la-pi-junior/

Importing an Atari 2600 - power requirements
Cambouis de l'Atari replied to TheRealOC's topic in Atari 2600
Just use your standard UK adapter. Any console, be pal or ntsc, needs 9v and doesn't care from which voltage it's been converted ; ) -

Interest Check: Atari 2600 Cartridge Lamps
Cambouis de l'Atari replied to kevates's topic in Atari 2600
Besides the price, I’m sorry to tell you that I find this very ugly. Just my opinion, no harsh intended. -
Atari 2600 Junior - official name, or unofficial nickname
Cambouis de l'Atari replied to Beerbarian's topic in Atari 2600
If it can help drawing a bigger picture, mine does show JR. I guess it was a PAL one. Got it non functional, now hosting a rasp : ) -
Anybody ever order from Best Electronics?
Cambouis de l'Atari replied to bigfriendly's topic in Atari 2600
An ugly '95 website seems a constant ! ?
