Halycon275 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Ok so i have 6 questions, 5 regarding the 2600 Jr and one personal 1. on the top right of the board, i saw a tiny thing that said NEC Malaysia 625k, what is it? 2. Where are the ROM and RAM chips on the 6507 board (Rev 4, at least on mine) 3. there's a piece of tape looking thing on the bottom, underneath the cover of the 2600 , it looks like clear tape. where does it connect? if so, how do i connect it? 4. Where can i get replacement screws and cables (the half foot long cable that came with it is coax only, incredibly stiff and gave bad picture, i want to use Composite if possible, my room has enough wires as is). 5. Is there an Everdrive or flash cart that i can buy to play the entire library of Atari 2600 games? this epidemic is not the best time to be games shopping and i'm on a budget. (how does the store function on here anyway? are the games shipped to your address? Local Pickup? 6. What are some good books on 6502/6507 programming. it should have example code and be geared towards beginners. Happy June , Day early i know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bcombee Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 The 2600 doesn't have a built-in ROM chip, that's always supplies by the game cartridge. The 128 bytes of RAM are part of the 6532 RIOT chip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+bcombee Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 For learning 2600 programming, see the programming forum here. There's also a book, Making Games for the Atari 2600 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N4DSRIZ/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_8-b1EbV9TNKKN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
