Atari 5200 Sophia Help

Hi all! I have a 4 controller port of Atari 5200 that has a composite mod, so I am trying to get the Sophia Rev C that I luckily bought on eBay, but I tried and sadly I got no picture, so can anyone help me figure it out?

 

Here is the link for Sophia: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sophia-rev-C-for-Atari-8bit-Computers-DVI-Output-1536x960-w-DVI-to-HDMI-Adapt/174143007237?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

I tried, but he cannot receive any messages. :( 

Well until you get in touch with him and obtain the file you need, even with the right hardware and the process to reprogram the SOPHIA, I think you’re out of luck.

I've installed a Sophia several years ago. I have a number of firmware files.  I don't remember which file I used on it.  I'm attaching everything I received from Simius.  It might be something as simple as jumper settings.

How do these work? My Sophia is Rev C.

Thinking more about city, I don't think I flashed anything. It was the VBXE that need flashing as it came set up for XE computers. Revision C was just a change to DVI output.

 

On mine I had set jumpers to get it to output a picture.  

 

Simius install instructions were:

Installation goes the same way, as in other computers. Remove GTIA chip, put the additional socket, put Sophia board, put GTIA chip, connect the ribbon cable. That's all.

I know how to install on Sophia on my A5200, but I want to reprogram it with a different resolution.
