14 hours ago, bfollowell said:Even if all this is true, what is the benefit, or the appeal, of buying/building these two boards and using them in conjunction, only to get the same output that you can already get today using @Simius's excellent, with proven track record, Sophia DVI or Sophia 2? Is it just the appeal of making assembling something yourself?
I just wanted to mention, for anyone interested, that it’s possible to use RGBtoHDMI on Atari 8 bit computers with this additional board. I think it’s mentioned in their documentation.

ps:Is there an easy, cheap and precise way to measure the phase of the color signal?
A-VideoBoard documentation says that it uses an FPGA to recreate parts of the GTIA, enough of it to be able to generate an analog YPbPr video signal, so it isn’t a full GTIA replacement like Sophia.

For those who dare to speak of the other side
The video of the Amiga version is below:
(58) Amiga RGBtoHDMI (with a Pi) Updates - YouTube (Jan Beta)
My current Composite video to HDMI adaptor is far from perfect, hence the interest,
I think you can use it together with c0pperdragon’s A-VideoBoard to have HDMI output on Atari 8-bit computers: https://github.com/c0pperdragon/A-VideoBoard
It generates YPbPr video signal that you can convert to HDMI using hoglet67’s RGBtoHDMI board.

Hi Simius, I’d like to preorder a Sophia 2 for 800XL. Thanks!

22 minutes ago, Dr Memory said:LOL! Ya maybe. I'm just concerned because I've been on his site in the past without issue. I can still access Mathy's site, which has a .nl domain, and atari8.info, which I believe to be in Poland. So it's not like I'm cut off from Europe or anything.
I'd be less concerned if I wasn't blocked on so many different platforms. Wierd.
I'm also getting the same SSL errors. I think it's missing the TLS server certificate, only CA chain is provided:

Bought an Atari 600XL in excellent condition. It was extremely well packed and delivered on time. I’d highly recommend and certainly would buy again from him. I’m very happy with my purchase!

I’d like to preorder one please. Thanks!

According to a currently offline article published on Atariware , Kung-Fu Master was created by Pelusa Software, who were a small team of Atari fans located in Arica, Chile. The main idea of the game was inspired by two arcade games: Yie-Ar Kung Fu (Konami, 1985) and Kung-Fu Master (Irem, 1984).
Years later, German González, formerly from Pelusa, told Atariware that the game was sent to two magazines: First it was sent to Mundo Atari magazine, from Chile, where his letter was published on issue 24 (June-July 1989) with only a congratulation, no game listing was published there, and the magazine folded the next month. The other magazine Germán sent the listing was Antic, although it was finally published on STart vol 5 issue 2, october 1990. This magazine was a continuation of Antic. You can see an article on page 99 entitled Kung Fu Master, and the listing on pages 112 and 113. In addition to that, a local software publisher named Turbo Software, included the game as "Kung Fu" on at least 2 cartridge games compilation: cartridges "C5" and "2". No permissions were asked to German, and no royalties were sent to him because of the sales of these cartridges including his creation. Germán came to know about this years later, when he bought one of these cartridges second hand on a flea market for his Atari personal collection.
This game was coded on a NTSC Atari computer using Atari Basic, using as few lines as possible so it could be published on a magazine. This program does not work OK on PAL systems, although it has already been fixed by local Atari fans.
Kind regards,
Luis.
Ha! I wrote that mini copycat prototype game just for fun in an afternoon or two, mostly to try to draw and animate the arcade characters in my 800 XL, AFAIR. German remember the details better than me.

👋 I’m from Chile. My first computer was an Atari 800 XL. I had a lot of fun playing games, learning BASIC and 6502 machine language. Good times 🙃

I had exactly the same problem last week with my 800 XL. Cleaning the keyboard Mylar and connector with isopropyl alcohol solved it (the Mylar looked fine so I suspect that I only needed to reattach the keyboard after cleaning the slot on the PCB).

RGB to HDMI, has anyone tried this option?
