Atari 2600 Video Problem

Hi,

I'm pretty far along with my handheld hacking on the 2600...

I have things wired up and I'm noticing that the video seems to cycle every so often and the colors and/or contrast changes. Besides this, all seems to be working well!!

I took a video of it because I'm not even sure exactly how to describe it properly...

Any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks,

If its plugged into the wall for power make sure the signals arent on tiny thin wires, the resistors are appropriate (Or whatever junk goes on your videoline), the connections are all solid.

Once you do this let me know if its still funky
