Definitely going to do a full voltage test on the board before I install the ICs.

Yeah - there was absolutely no way those 2 caps would fit. I did insert both before soldering, and there was about a quarter inch of "overlap". Both caps would have been at an angle, or damaged if I forced them in place. Not a big deal, I just wanted to mention it in case you were going to do a large order of parts. My OCD will probably get the best of me, and I will order smaller caps but for now, this will suffice.

Running this one any longer would not have resulted in improvements. The final 100 million iterations only resulted in the normal distance changing by the thousandths. This was using 8192 solutions as well. I was surprised to get this one to turn out at all, without making some pretty drastic changes to the source image.

Confused about Atari 8 bit (XL/XE) graphics modes

How so? -
Best I could manage - 75 colours. There's just not enough resolution to really pull any details here. Stephen_StarshipLaunch.xex

I'm trying some things, but not getting any kind of decent result with this one. It doesn't look awful in the tiny thumbnail, but when viewing on the Atari, just looks a garbled mess. I'll keep working on it though.

Awesome - thanks. SOO glad you added thousands separator (sometimes it's the most simple things that help!).

Here's another 1090 in the wild. I just need to clean the flux and power test the board before inserting the ICs. Excuse the laid over cap at C5 - they were too large to fit side by side and also, I had to cut the caps out of the cardboard/tape strips so I didn't rip the legs out. In doing so, the leads were too short to adjust so the cap would sit farther to the side.

It only took 21 years to reach that conclusion, so maybe not much thought was put into it.

Well, that definitely makes you an expert on the system, that's for sure!

This would make a great title screen - the 1991 Psygnosis logo, in 52 colours. Stephen_Psygnosis1991.xex
