keilbaca Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Neither chip has RAM. 851870[/snapback] lmao i'm completely out of it today... good news, I scored 11k on 3dmark03 on my comp... hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Can you take pictures of the controllers? They look interesting! Regards, Rasty.- 830297[/snapback] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Weis Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 looks like a Colecovision controller with a different stick (and the touch pad covered up of coures) weird but Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sr. Ferraz Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Dear friends, here they are photos of the console Onyx Junior with the original controls and AC adapter. When the game is in "Pause" (on) the TV is with the dark screen (black). I wait that they appreciate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_Jaguar Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Nice score! The silver connector looks a little like a replaced part to me, but I may be wrong. Can you take pictures of the controllers? They look interesting! Regards, Rasty.- 830297[/snapback] Awesome! I wish I had an Onyx Junior Console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuzenTCA Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 So, is anyone going to try this? I am intrigued to the fullest! If you need an Atari to test this on, I have one to offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 lol u can see where the overlays used to go in the onyx controller. must have been made with coleco molds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way around this is either solder with wires, or take a spare atari, take out the chip holder thing, solder the wires to the right spots, then just clip in the 6502C.

Sr. Ferraz Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Sorry, I know that this topic is old but I bought recently another one joystick for the console Onyx Junior. Joystick is different therefore has a type of rubber articulation. (similar to joystick of Atari) It is interesting therefore protects of the dust and objects. In the announcement from magazine of Microdigital appears joystick with a similar finishing. I only want to inform the variation of joystick for the community of the AA that if interests for this console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercat Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 But you will need an Atari-style 6502C because a regular 6502 doesn't have the HALT line, which is required for 2600 WSYNC to work.851540[/snapback] The 6507 doesn't have the HALT line either. What it has is READY, which is also available on the 6502. That having been said, I would expect that the best ways to do a "pause" would be to either... [*]stop the 3.5xMhz crystal in a predictable phase so as to avoid "runt" pulses. This may require that the crystal not be attached to the TIA; I don't know whether an NTSC TIA would mind being driven by a square wave, but since PAL-60 Brazillian clones wouldn't use the 3.5xMHz crystal for colorburst that would seen a non-issue. I also don't know whether the 6507, RIOT, or TIA would object to having the clock stopped; even dynamic-logic devices often permit the clock to be stopped in one state (just not any others).[*]Synchronize the "pause" button with VSYNC, and use it to gate READY to the 6507. Most games probably won't use the RIOT during VSYNC and wouldn't mind if it got trashed; even most games that do use it would probably recover after a frame.

Because to be honest I'm kinda lost when it gets this much into the electronics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
