    I have a spare POKEY just waiting for this, along with two 7800s I can test with: a totally-stock, unmodded AT-84 with a fully socketed motherboard including the SRAM chips; and a UAV-modded A1 serial number unit.  I also have a scope, a bench power supply and a decades out-of-date and vastly-underutilized engineering degree that likes to chew on annoying technical problems. :) 

    I’m also dying to get my hands on one and test. @batari, if you need beta testers, I’d love to be a part of your project.  My unit is also UAV modded, rev D.

    Slightly off topic, but I just bought the 2018 version AP3280...I like it a lot better than the original 2016 iteration. A few questions (and maybe it's already been answered). Does anyone get a buzzing sound out of certain games (like built in Pac Man)? It only seems to happen with a few games. 

     

    Also, has anyone found a screen protector that works well with it? I never put one on my 2016 model and I'm wishing I had. 

     

    Thanks!

    Hello everyone, forgive me, I'm a relative newbie to the SGM scene. I remember a while back Team Pixelboy was selling their complete SGM romset for $79, I believe. Does anyone know if that deal is still around? I found this link and downloaded these great games, but I'm just wondering if that download package is still around somewhere or if it will be offered again? TIA.

    Hey - yeah, I cant believe it. Luckily I got a full refund and got to keep the unit. The thing works perfectly and would love to UAV mod this thing and find it a new home. You can see how it was packed. Box barely surrounded unit with bubbles on top so the front plate was absolutely destroyed beyond gorilla glue capabilities. Had to be 20 pieces at least. post-61342-0-07799300-1553686160_thumb.jpegpost-61342-0-91281400-1553686180_thumb.jpegpost-61342-0-66288000-1553686211_thumb.jpeg

    Hello - I bought a 2 port unit on eBay and the seller decided that a box that barely fit around the outside of the unit would suffice. So the entire front of the shell was destroyed (where the controller port openings are). Does anyone have a non functioning or 2 port shell theyre willing to part with? A four port shell would work as well, I would just have to fabricate something to close the other two ports.

     

    Thanks everyone!

    Hi everyone - hoping someone has experience with this. I did a standard composite mod and it works perfectly. Nice video, 5v at all checkpoints, including TIA, RIOT and 6507. All of the standard carts including some modern home brews work fine. When I plug in my harmony cart, I get solid colors, sometimes with loud screech noises. Once in a great while I can see a few lines of text, then it goes to black. Ive replaced the riot and tia chips and same results. Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? The harmony cart works fine with all my other systems.

     

    Thanks in advance.

    I've also sent a PM as I want one for my Atari 400.

     

    But I'm wondering also about a card that I've heard that improves the sound, but I don't know where to search for it.

    Yes, Bryan made an Ultimate Audio board (I believe that is the name). I asked and he said he doesnt have them available anymore, but I certainly dont want to put words into his mouth. :)

    JagSD is getting close to completion now (CD games now booting, final PCB's in my hands), so sights are moving to the 7800 before long. I have a 7800 on the shelf next to me. It taunts me daily.

     

    I can't wait! I am considering picking up the Lynx SD cart as well. Some of the games are just so damn expensive, and for the most part, I just want to play the games (even though I am a collector). My concern is that I have a Lynx I and am concerned about damaging the cart if/when I have to pull the thing out. :)

     

    I may have to pick up a Lynx II and McWill one of those. Less worry about the carts and tearing off paint every time I open the damn cart door.

    The betas that were released were a WIP and had some problems working on a few revisions of the 7800 console.

     

    Batari, the guy who made them, has been radio silent/MIA on the Concerto for like 2 years now.

    That's unfortunate. If he's not going to be able to produce them, he should release the schematics to someone who can build them. I'm sure there's another willing to pick it up! :)

    Forgive me, I've not been 100% invested in the boards at the moment, since my employer blocks the AA forums (DAMN YOU!). Anyway, I know there has been much desire over the possibility of the Harmony Concerto, and I see a few Betas out there. I also read that there are no preorders, etc. Does anyone have a definitive date of release, or if it is a self build, where to get the parts? Pardon my ignorance if already mentioned somewhere else. Thanks!

    Folks,

     

    I am happy to announce that Bryan has agreed to let The Brewing Academy produce all versions of the UAV rev. D. As with all of the products we produce, they will be offered for as long as possible on both the website and eBay. You may also PM me here for details on how to order.

     

    I have ordered parts and boards from various sources and I am confident that all versions will be available for sale on or about 15 February. It would be sooner, but most of the companies I am working with will be taking the next two weeks off for Chinese New year.

     

    Feel free to contact me for information. Pricing should remain about the same (maybe +$1-2 at most). Let me know if you have any questions!

     

    -M

    Excellent news! The boards are too excellent to not be produced! Thanks for letting us know.
