Are there any current UAV boards available? I need to get one for my XEGS.

XEGS to TV with only HDMI / YPbPr inputs
dwmcqueen replied to dwmcqueen's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
Yep, if only the UAV was easily orderable, but I think that is the way. -

Good thought, but I don't see the setting. -

Envy....that seems to be the way to go. In the interim, is there anything to do about the black and white output? -

Good idea - now just have to wait for UAV boards to be produced again -

I thought antenna - but was worried about the quality (and I do have OTA antenna on this already).... -

It 'works" when connected to Green - BUT it is black and white only (no color). -
My wife has banish my XEGS to my bedroom LED TV which only has HDMI and YPbPr inputs (no internal converter). After a failed attempt at using this - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EHL1JXE/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&psc=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=atariage&linkId=05e4ff056d97af9f74570ca233e5c65a, I am curious if I have any other options to get output into either of those formats?

Thanks!

I just got in the mail my SIO2SD. In looking at the pic at assmebly at http://www.lotharek.pl/product.php?pid=49, I see six wires, but the red one is left disconnected. Where does it go? I tried searching for threads on assembly but couldn't find anything. It seems straightforward, but that sixth wire caught me offguard. Any thoughts on gauge of wire to use?

8bit Pac-man "Arcade" - Final Version - Accepting Orders
dwmcqueen replied to tep392's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
Doh! Any future production runs? -
That doesn't faze me too much.

I'd also like this. Anyone do this on a XEGS?

Interest Check: Reproduction Activision Cart Labels
dwmcqueen replied to pboland's topic in Atari 2600
Is this still possibly going to happen? I have a few Activision carts that clean, crisp new labels would really help make look better. -
It was the TIA chip
-
It is the TIA chip. I swapped mine and all is good.
-
Well - the main issue was the TIA chip. Swapped it out and vert hold is fixed. There is a little interference - but I suspect that is the capacitor - so that is next.....
-
Okay - I will replace that. I'll also replace the chiclet capacitor next to it (Service Manual says to replace the chiclet as well so I will do that). I'll report back here - seems like I find a lot of forum posts about V hold issues on Vaders - but no one every has fixed it.
-
Thanks - part of my question is whether this may even be a cause for the rapid rolling or if that is likely something else...
-
Throwing one more thing on the fire - the large 2200uf capacitor has a slight slash on the left hand side - could this be it or would a failing capacitor likely cause other issues?
-
I have a Vader with a horrible scrolling issue (see http://atariage.com/forums/topic/222809-scrolly-wiggly-screen-atari-2600a-restore/) I noticed the 2200uf capacitor on the side has a slight slash that has a rust-like substance exposed. I am not sure if this is the issue but before removing and replacing the TIA chip, I thought I would give it a try. Anyone know where I can buy a replacement capacitor? Is this correct - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007ZL0H6O/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&tag=atariage&creativeASIN=B007ZL0H6O&linkCode=as2 or is this - http://www.jameco.com/1/1/25028-a2200-16-capacitor-aluminum-electrolytic-axial-20-2200uf.html ? Does Radio Shack carry this? Is this even potentially the issue on my Vader?
-
Did you ever figure this out? I have almost the exact same issue on a Vader 2600A. I cleaned all contacts and rechecked the solder joints. My 2200 uf capacitor has a small crack in it - could that be causing the issue? My screen looks like this:
-
Does your picture look like this
-
More specifically - could it be the TIA chip?
-
I haven't found a game that works yet. Could it still be the RIOT chip?
