Colecovision F18A VGA with AV mod for Atari Expansion Module


parkfun101

This is for anyone new to the F18A VGA graphics card. It has superior output of images and looks PERFECT without having to make any changes on the TV. However, you can't use the Atari Expansion module with it. This is a workaround so you can. Basically, you also need to install an AV mod. So when you go to use the Atari expansion module, you just have to change your TV setting to AV and it should work fine!

 

Just a note. I had originally installed the AV mod before installing the F18A VGA graphics card. When I would go to play the Atari, the graphics were a bit off and would flicker almost like the vertical hold was off. AFTER I installed the F18A, the Atari's graphics worked correctly, no more flickering. I'm assuming this may have had to do with some of the DRAM chips that the F18A makes the Colecovision bypass. So that is a good thing.
