Looking good! If you get this done by MGC I'd definitely buy a couple from you. I have a couple spare 2600 boards collecting dust. Looks like the board could fit inside an original Gameboy shell.

Funny, I was thinking that myself. You could probably make a pretty good atariboy out of this.

Cartridge is not built in but the prototype will use the Harmony Cart. Headphones are Mono only as well. Not worth supporting stereo sound on this guy.

Aww. You could at least have a jumper on the board. Doesn't take up that much space, does it?

I am not taking requests for this project. This PCB is not going to be destined to be sold separately anyways (I don't make any money that way).

Fair enough. 'Course it's your project, do what you want.

You got to think of it this way. Taking suggestions almost always ruins projects down the road and lengthens the design and build time considerably. I wasn't even going to share this project with people in the beginning.

That is really cool! I love it!

Stereo sound is overrated.

These words you talk, they make sense. Glad you shared.

It might be in the pile of bricks under my chair.


Now when you sell these boards, will they come with everything, or will you have to tear your Atari open?

Very nice work. I am interested in one, and can't wait to see the final product.

If you can give details on what type of price range you will be selling these, that would be wonderful.
I'm hoping it isn't too high, but it looks like a lot of work goes into it.

I'm surprised you had a FB2 mod going and then switched to this

Both are going. The FB2 is going to be done in the next week or so.

Nice! It will be great to see that once you are done with it (the FB2 and the Unity)
If possible, you should do a detailed listing of how certain things are done: Audio amp, wiring... etc.
I have one screen that the audio quit working on. building a small and cheap audio amp for it would be awesome!

I'm always impressed with your work! I am using one of your S video mods in one of my projects that I have not finished yet (Atari Arcade project). It works great!
