SPIKE #1 Posted May 28, 2003 i have a couple of 2600's with the Ben Heckendorn A/V mod. generally my games look ok but i just pulled out Adventure and discovered a problem.... all of the backgrounds are black! is there something i did wrong withthe A/V mod? it's not easy to see the Black Castle on a black background! kinda like playing Adventure if it was at night. (i think i have a new game idea! ..."Night Adventure") anyways......... i have two machines with the same mod and i have the same results. even tested two TV's. (and please forgive me if this was answered elsewhere but i couldn't find it in a forum search.) thanks!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vardelith #2 Posted May 28, 2003 did you try running through the RF connection to test the game that way? I've been using his mod on my 2600 for a few months now and never had that problem! I'll give adventure a test today and see again, but I think it runs fine for me! I've got mine connected to a c64 1702 monitor, I find I get good picture with that, but when using this mod on a TV I get bad results! I think in my case I have poor quality POT's, but I"m not sure! I get a rather fuzzy and unclean picture when using this mod with a TV! color and clerity is superb on my c64 monitor though! I'm still trying to figure it out!

SPIKE #3 Posted June 3, 2003 did ya get a chance to try it out yet?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vardelith #4 Posted June 7, 2003 ya, now I'm not an adventure fan,and I don't know what it SHOULD look like. Anyways all the levels had a grey background when I played it! I got to the black castle and it was visable in front of the grey background! Sooo, I'm not exactly sure as to WHAT is causing the problem with your set-up! Would you be able to take some close-up shots of your mod so I can see what you've done! you make sure you used the right type of resistor or pots? this can make a big difference as in my case with my current pots...they suck and are causing me problems because I can't fine tune them! I was thinking, if you wired your set-up wrong you might not be getting your luma information correctly, (I think it's the luma that dictates brightness.) Hmm....I need to learn more about this stuff! Sorry for the long wait, to reply! I tend to forget stuff! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
