chaozz Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Yesterday I modded my Atari 2600 to add Composite video. My Atari is a woody 4-switch PAL-version. I used this mod: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Atari-2600-Composite-AV-Video-DIY-Upgrade-KIT-Board-Preassembled-/381321972595 and these instructions: http://www.vintagegamingandmore.com/guides/mods/ Installation went smooth as expected and after it was done, I popped in Pole Position and it looked great! But a few games, for example Ms. Pacman, show short horizontal lines on the left hand side of the screen. I've made a photo of how it looks: http://1drv.ms/1l8SZLx Can anyone tell me why this is occurring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambouis de l'Atari Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) Looks like the typical HMOVE artifact to me... are you new to the 2600 ? This is normal, they should be there whatever video output you use (even in an emulator) : Edited January 14, 2016 by Cambouis de l'Atari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaozz Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 I am **VERY** new to Atari. Thank you for clearing this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambouis de l'Atari Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 This is very surprising to get a "newbie" question from someone who directly dives into modding Actually most games show these lines, but often they are hidden in the black background.

I am not new to modding, perhaps that's it. I did a mod to a pong console not too long ago, and that was very similar to this mod: Edited January 14, 2016 by chaozz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
