Re: The time has come.... (PAL Modding guide)
Okay, so I'm preparing the controls at the moment and maybe I shouldnt be worrying about this yet but I can help but wonder why all the colours have messed up so badly since chopping down the board?

Re: The time has come.... (PAL Modding guide)

Re: The time has come.... (PAL Modding guide)
Evil Nod you beat me to it by 5 minutes! :-D Thank you very much though! Do you know what each letter means? I know the connections to the TIA and RIOT chips and have worked out that W is where the IC unit needs to go to. I'm also figuring Z is ground and I know Q is Audio and X is Chroma. So it's r...

Re: The time has come.... (PAL Modding guide)

OK. So I've been lurking around these boards for... well... years. Every now and then I toy with the idea of making a portable Atari, and then convince myself it's beyond my capabilities! Mainly due to two factors: - 1. I can't solder to save my life. 2. I live in the UK and I see that the PAL 2600 ...
