fuzzy sprites on black background?

[fuzzy sprites on black background?]

As far as the TV being the problem I don't believe that's going to be it. I have several other 2600 some of them modded with AV output others still using the RF modulator. They work fine on this TV. This particular Vader has been AV modified with the RF modulator removed and it still has the problem. It appears to mainly be with the color blue the other color seem to be fine.

Just wanted to check with you and see if you ever found a solution to this problem. I have a Vader w/Revision 17 board doing the same thing. I have replaced most of the capacitors and the voltage regulator. I have done an A/V mod. I have even replaced the TIA chip. Nothing has made a difference. Thought I would reach out to you to see if you made any progress or if you just gave up . Also in doing the A/V mod, I completely removed the RF Modulator.

[UAV - Ultimate Atari Video - Atari 7800]

Just installed a UAV Basic board in a 7800. Using composite only since I don't have a TV/monitor w/s-video. When I powered it up, no picture. In fact I was getting no signal according to the TV. I left it powered while I went to get my multimeter. When I got back about 20 seconds later, a faint grey image of the game was on the screen (Galga). As I watched the screen grew brighter and the color started coming in till it was a clear bright picture. I turned it off then right back on and everything came back up as I would think it should, Atari boot screen then the game with a great picture. If I leave it off for 5 minutes or so it starts all over with the slow start, Gray picture, then slowly building up to full color. It's like it's having to warm up or something. Anybody got any ideas? If I need to post any pictures let me know.

[Atari 2600 Screen Gets Darker After Game Starts.]

I'm using an AV mod on my Atari. The darkening seems to take place only after the game is actually started and by that I mean when I actually start playing the game a few seconds later the screen will darken slightly. When the game is just sitting there in what I call demo mode I don't notice the darkening. It only seems to happen once you start playing the game and then about a second later it goes dark just slightly.

Well, I did find a setting call Dynamic Contrast and I turned it off with no effect. Its not a problem, I was just curious as to what might be causing it. Games are still playable, its just that the picture looks better before the darkening. And I also changed the AV input say "PC".

[Atari 2600 Screen Gets Darker After Game Starts.]

I noticed when I play certain games, Joust for example, that after I start the game either by hitting the reset switch or by pressing the red controller button (as in Joust), the screen gets darker. I'm playing on a Samsung 55" LED. I have a feeling it has something to do with the TV. I don't have an old CRT to try it on for comparison. The games are still playable, just a little darker. Also my 2600 has an A/V mod, so I'm connecting through the yellow RCA video input. Just thought I would reach out and see anyone knew why this is.

[Where Did You Get Your First Atari 2600 and What Type Was it?]

Ordered my first Atari VCS in 1978. Took forever to arrive. I was out in the neighborhood hanging with some friends and my mom actually drove around to find me to let me know it had arrived. Me and about 8 of my friends loaded up in the old Chrysler and headed to the house. Excitement was running HIGH! Got home and carefully unpacked the Atari. Hooked it up. Put in the Combat cartridge. Turned it on........NOTHING. NOTHING BUT STATIC. Checked all connections. Still nothing. Must have worked with it for 2 hrs trying to get it going. In the end, repacked and sent it back. Went to Sears and got the TELE-GAMES version. All was right with the world.
