Oh, come on, stop rubbing it in... The more expensive they get, the more I want it...

You can email the producers, as a lot of us did... Or get it on PS3, like I did

I just put in the 10K resistor in the end. It sounds pretty cool, but I have yet to attach a scope to it. The video is not decidingly better after the mod. I thought it would rid me of color bleeding, but it didn't. Still, the picture seems to be more solid, and I can hook the 2600 to monitors I couldn't before, so high fives all around. But to be fair, there are some things to be considered when judging the quality of the output. The cable connecting the switchboard to the mainboard was failing. After the 4th wire broke, I lost my temper and soldered in a board to board connector. So that may have some impact. I also used the same kind of connector to connect my mod board. That way I coud just plug it out when needed and not need to resolder it every time, which would definitely ruin the switchboard. So, while I tortured this poor thing long enough, I just might get another 2600 and do it all over again. It was fun.

Hmm, I didn't get that far yet... I'm playing with removing individual components as per the instruction from thefuturewas8bit. ATM it still loks best on the RF I have to make the board properly, then I'll see the real picture. But I'd say that the sound probably needs some dampening - or the OP would't have done it so? How much did you end up putting in?

Thank you Boggis, I did check all the points you marked - some were my "reflows" with too low temperature set on the soldering iron... In the end I decided to go your way and reinstall everything as it was. And it did not work. I remembered the sixer being quirky at times, which was the main reason I decided to open it in the first place. So I poked around with a stick (an old toothbrush in this case), and when I knocked on TIA, I got the picture back! Now we know it was not the TIA, but the darn socket underneath it. Or maybe there was a bad joint underneath, anyway, I quickly replaced the socket (sadly, along with some of the pads underneath) - and lo and behold - the picture is back, steady and even works on composite. There are not many happier 2600 owners in this town tonight. Thank you Boggis the cat, your hints were the right ones. You are to be credited for this light sixers coming years of providing fun in our home.

But, but, but! To have an opinon on an opinion? Or the king of the mindf*cks, an opinion on an opinion of someone who is an asshole? That got me for the weekend

So, this is the pretty thing we're dealing with... I resoldered the resistors and the coil, as some mod instructions do not mention removing those, but to no avail. Still nothing good happens on pin 4...

Thanks Boggis, I expressed myself awkwardly there. It's 0V on pin 1 and 5V on pin 3, as it should be. I'll post phots too. And I have access to several oscilloscopes, my father designs electronics. It's just that we used a brand new one that even he is unfamiliar with, so I couldn't really tell you if that's 2V on pin 4. I'll make pops work with me on this over the weekend, I hope. Meanwhile I read somewhere that faulty TIA might be the cause of the flatline, so I'm having one mailed in from UK... Will report back, thank you!

I tried this on my light sixer and managed to ruin it. I removed both resistors, the transistor and the coil. Desoldered the modulator. I get relatively clean 5V on pins 1 and 3, but pin 4 where the video should be shows just constant high potential buzz... Help... Anyone? Forgot to say, I dropped the channel switch too...

I'd like to know that too...

Nevermind, a helpful German falconeer came to the rescue...

I think Star Wars alone is worth getting a Skunk... But that's just me...

Has anyone got the drivers and accessories for the Falcon Speed Resolution Card by Hard&Soft?

It's available on evilbay. For a million bucks. I missed it too. It's killing me...

it IS ST graphics. I wish your monkey wasn't illiterate.

Probably the only way I'll produce something for the Jag Count on me when the time comes.

Just like that? Thank you!

Anyone able to borrow me a Jag and a Skunk in Costa Adeje for a couple of days? Have to start bringing my own along...

You need more room then

And MC68030 != MC68000 ? And here I thought they were all the same... Have to read up on the subject some more. Seriously, is it possible that you missed the obviouos joke in the "2 DSP" or are you just pulling my leg? It had to be a joke it had "powa" and everything in it...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_Jaguar "Jerry" Chip, 26.59 MHzDigital Signal Processor – 32-bit RISC architecture, 8 KB internal cacheSimilar RISC core as the GPU, additional instructions intended for audio operations You have it, you just didn't know it

Great. Since Falcon is only 32 bit and has one DSP, a Jaguar wit 64 bit powa and 2 DSPs can do this in stereo

Another big win for the passive-aggressive team... Thanks Zero!

You are absolutely correct. There isn't.
