I need to get off my rear and finally finish my Atari portable. It's been sitting ready to go for such a long time. All it needs is a case! Sadly I don't have c_mon's amazing wood case-making skills...

I recently got composite video by using both the old video mod and the new video mod. But there seems a problem with some games. In both video mods some games loose left parts' details and shows like the ones below.
Space Invaders:
Asteroids:
Question Is this a normal situation? Can it be that games themselves have problems due to aging? I tried these games in two different Atari boards with two different video mods. And the results were all the same. I guess the problem is the games themselves. Right?

I've experienced the same problem. I wonder if it's just due to the conversion from RF to composite?

So, I wonder if Ben experiences the same problem. He doesn't show any of his Atari 2600 portables in action, or do I miss?

The lines are programmed kinda into the game. It is really just how the TIA creates the pixels and scan lines. In other words you can not do anything about it.

You can't do anything about it. It us just how the game is programed and how the TIA chip creates the pixels and scan lines.
Trust me I have tried everything to get rid of the those lines. I sell video mods for the Atari 2600/5200/7800 so I would know

I guess you're right. Those lines should be the cost of having an original VCSp.
Rekarp I wonder if those lines appear in regular r/f mode. Do they and what proportion of Atari games have those irritating lines?

Don't know which games have erm and which don't. The lines arn't to noticeable with RF because of its fuzzy nature but they are still there.

Just wondering, why portablize an original atari if the original hardware is worse to use than an already-portable device?
Hey, sup?
