spongebue Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 From Heckendorn himself. This one is supposed to have a better picture and even works on newer LCD screens, such as the PSOne LCD and Wega TVs. Take a looky here. It's a bit more complicated than his first one, but I suppose that someone good with a soldering iron planning on doing an A/V mod may as well use this one . spongebue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Mitchell Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Thanks! I'll have to try this one! Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Just curious, is this the same mod from Ben that Nathan Strum tested on his informative Atari 2600 Video Mods Comparison page? ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Mitchell Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Just curious, is this the same mod from Ben ... I don't think so .. None of the mods on Nathan's site describe removing resistors. And I do not recognize this particular circuit on his site either. Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsoper Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Looks like someone learned about emitter followers (Sorry in advance if this double-posts) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new one isn't even a week old, and Nathan Strum's hasn't been updated in a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new one isn't even a week old, and Nathan Strum's hasn't been updated in a while I wasn't sure if maybe Ben just put up a new/updated page describing the same mod. I definitely look forward to some feedback once someone has had a chance to try this out. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Just curious, is this the same mod from Ben that Nathan Strum tested on his informative Atari 2600 Video Mods Comparison page? Nope. Not yet, anyway. I'm planning to add a few more mods to the page. Just need the time to build 'em and test 'em. Ben's new one is on the list.

Cobra Commander Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Looks like someone learned about emitter followers (Sorry in advance if this double-posts) I wish I hadnt read that. You brought up a nightmare I had 12 years ago when I learned transistor theory. Now I have to get out all number of documentation and look it up to remember or it will bug me.

My apologies, I just don't know what the big deal is. The 2600 faq has had the 4050 emitter follower (common-collector) current buffer circuit in it for the last 10 years, but people keep tweaking the values and acting like they did something groundbreaking.

jchiar Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 is this any better that the cybertech svideo mod? I did this one and i love it! the stero sound kicks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 is this any better that the cybertech svideo mod? I did this one and i love it! the stero sound kicks.. The Cybertech mod is quite good, and I doubt a relatively simple composite mod could compete with it. However, it's always good to have choices, especially if you're on a budget and you have the mad skills to do the soldering yourself. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
