low.blow Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Hi all, Someone asked about this, so I thought I'd make a quick video to show it off. This is my sio2pc setup that I recently put together. Here. Basically, a mini-itx mobo w/ i5 processor. 2 2600daptors(mounted inside case). dual-port sio2pc from atarimax(also mounted inside). running altirra and ape(registered). touch screen interface. pretty tight fit with the power supply and all... probably could have had plenty more room if I'd thought it out better in advance, but it runs cool enough. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Larry Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 What are the "2600 adapters?" Is this running MAME? (I know very, very little about 2600's.) -Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I know very, very little about 2600's.) -Larry 2600daptors are like the stelladaptors. The have an Atari joystick port on one end and a usb port on the other. So you can use just about any Atari controller on a pc. Edited May 13, 2014 by low.blow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dripfree Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 WOW! That is truly a work of art. The icing on the cake is the image of 810 drive it displays. One of the best Atari projects I have ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
low.blow Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Thanks for all the kind words. It was a fun little project. One thing I didn't mention in the video that I think is cool, is the power button. A pc normally requires a momentary switch, but the 810 uses a toggle switch. I really wanted to use the original switch, so I put a capicitor inline on one of the switch legs. When the switch is flipped, the cap charges and the motherboard sees a momentary flow of current until the cap is charged. The negative to this is that to shut down, I have to use the start menu or flip the switch back and forth again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
