Haha your right! it matches the atari so well too, it could play on it but i modded the TV HDMI and its easier to use the modern crt

If you don't have another VCS to swap chips with, consider picking up a spare from Best, eBay, etc.
Thanks! Which is the CPU? Iam just getting into the hobby sorry.

What would my next move be?

Hey everyone!
I just found my first 2600, it was at a goodwill for 15$. its such a beautifull sight and something i wanted for a long time
Vintage hardware is rare in nova scotia
Anyway i have 1 game for it, Yars revenge. i hooked it up and its not working
i reseated the chips, looked at the caps. Cleaned connections and nothing works. all i get is a black screen and the odd time i get solid vertical lines
-
Does anyone want to have it i will just ruin it
-
I cant do it. I soldered in two, turned it on it got worse and one of the new chips got so hot it burnt my finger
Iam way to shakey and retarded
i should sell this machine to someone smart iam making it worse
-
Thanks guys

The 4164 set you sold meI'm pretty sure the left one is a 41256.
You want to do the correct mod for the chip you are using. I sell 4164s so the mod is in the right for those.. which chips are you using?
