Jul 30, 2019 · It appears that it haves a very impressive compatibility with a real console that uses the 3 famous chips (6507 6532 6526) and It can run all games I tested but IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE with paddles (but is ok compatible with the Drive controller).

Now that I got Hello, World! running, I feel confident this project may actually succeed! 😅 The next step is to run an actual game, which requires wiring the last chip (and, due to the poor video I have so far, a sound circuit).
MOS’s catalog included several support chips compatible with its successful 6502 “family” of CPUs (of which our Atari’s 6507 is a member). Atari picked the 6532 to supply the missing pieces (RAM, Input/Output channels and Timers) that give this chip the nickname “RIOT”. Wiring it was no different than wiring the TIA. Pretty much: 1. Following the a...
Sound was actually part of TIA, but I did not bother adding it before because the only software I had that would work without RAM and Timers (the “Hello, World” program) was silent. But now it will work (and be invaluable since my composite output is still 💩), so I added a 1K resistor and a 1µF cap to both pins; resistor goes to 5V and cap goes to...
Incredibly, this setup worked first time (notwithstanding the video). One can hear (and almost see) Pac-Man going through the circle of life:
Unfortunately, I can’t still get a good composite video image. Tried every composite circuit under the sun, results are still wonky. The best I got so far was with the circuit mentioned on the last post, only replacing a resistor that was a bit out-of-range: In fact, only one of my TVs got me any image at all (as previously mentioned, modern TVs ar...
I guess I should now add a joystick and SELECT/START (either a connector, or some push buttons, depending on what I have on my drawer), then fix the video (assuming it’s not a TIA defect). Then I’ll transcribe all the things back to a Fritzing drawing (so anyone - including myself in the future - can reproduce), and I guess I will be done with this...
Jan 3, 2024 · Correct, but again, many folks appear to have issues even getting the program to run or see their 2600+ etc. So ideally it all needs to be compiled into a single program that you run, that carefully guides you through the process and then updates whatever is needed.
Nov 22, 2023 · Yesterday someone in the Atari 2600 Facebook group was complaining that neither a joystick or a paddle works with Astroblast, in either controller jack.
Nov 22, 2023 · Unlike some other "classic" game console recreations, the Atari 2600+ doesn't come with any pre-loaded games. To use the system, you have to bring your own Atari 2600 cartridges or rely on...
Dec 20, 2023 · The Atari 2600+ is designed to work with original Atari 2600 and Atari 7800 cartridges. It isn’t 100% compatible with all cartridges, but the vast majority of official Atari carts do function with the system. A list of compatible games can be found on Atari’s website here.
