atari2600land's Blog - VCS on VCR

[RSS Bot]

I finally figured out hooking my 2600 up to my VCR. Now I can record myself playing the Atari 2600. One problem, though, the colors are different. They're darker. The only concern I've run in so far is I can't see the ants in level 4 of my homebrew Ants game. Why would it be different? Is it the VCR? Probably, because the color is different if the VCR is not turned on. I hooked it up to the TV, which is hooked up to the VCR. I can now record a little low-power station in my area, KWVT channel 52, but it's on channel 108 when the VCR is hooked up and on for some reason. Another thing, why do TVs even go past channel 100 if no cable system uses them? Most TVs go up to channel 125. There's this weird graph thing on channel 117, but that's about the only use I figured out. I mean, my stupid area cable provider Comcast is too stupid to add more channels to basic cable. They haven't added any for months now. They did add 1, but that was back in January or so.
