thegamezmaster Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Hello, does anyone know if any other audio/composite video cable works with an Atari 800XL? I mean like a C64 cable or original Sega cable. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEtalGuy66 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Hello, does anyone know if any other audio/composite video cable works with an Atari 800XL? I mean like a C64 cable or original Sega cable. Thanks. For audio and composite video, the C=64 cable will work. If you are using chroma/luma, it wont. The commodore has "audio in" where atari has "chroma".. This wont hurt anything.. It just wont work.. The seag master system cable is 8 pins instead of 5, so it shouldnt even plug in... but on top of that, composite video is on pin 1 (instead of pin 4 on the atari).. so if you break off pins 6-8 and somehow rewire the video to pin 4, it would work.. but unless youve got an RGB master system cable (pin 4 is GREEN), youd have to cut the connector apart to do it.. So thats a "YES" on the C=64 cable, and a "NO" on the sega master system cable.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
