Albert Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I have several 2600 (7), 5200 (2) and ColecoVision (1) systems modified for s-video output and there simply is no comparison. Even a composite video output mod will look much better than using RF output. I have so many systems modified as I use them hooked up to Commodore 1702s and other displays at the various game shows I attend.. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow460 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Al mentioned Commodore...my 1701 has luma and chroma jacks on the back. Do those have something to do with S video, or have I smoked too much crack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's the same except without the nice s-video connector. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinumfungi Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hmmm.... any schematic for the S-Video customization? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fighter17 Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hmmm.... any schematic for the S-Video customization? No, because I didn't do the mod. Talk to "FABombjoy" at the Digital Press forums, he did mines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari Punk 78 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 How can you not own Superman? Its an Atari owners standard. Oh well. How about Donkey Kong Jr. or Jungle Hunt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not into Donkey Kong that much. I might get Jungle Hunt. Have anyother game you want to see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragnerok X Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 (edited) Have anyother game you want to see? Pitfall is a good game to test color; Air Sea battle / Target Fun in B/W mode is a good game to test general picture clarity / luma consistency Overall, I'd say they did a pretty good job for you.

mos6507 Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I'm still surprised people still do mods rather than just buying the 8-bit domain board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strattsp Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I'm still surprised people still do mods rather than just buying the 8-bit domain board. 8-bit domain board = $39.95 + shipping home mod = about $5 - $10 at local electronics store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You even learn quite a bit in the process (I did). Edited April 20, 2007 by Dragnerok X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinumfungi Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Speaking of the CD4050, is the CD4050 chip in that mod a chip that you need to buy or one that's already in the 2600? I've just started looking at doing this mod and I wasn't sure on what that chip actually was. I think I follow everything else but I'm lost on that chip...

A.J. Franzman Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Speaking of the CD4050, is the CD4050 chip in that mod a chip that you need to buy or one that's already in the 2600? The mods using that chip intend for you to add it, but 6-switchers and Juniors have one in the console (and thus could get similar results from a simpler mod).
