Far away from COVID (I hope)
Portables
(have two in production behind the scenes)
Hey guys, it's our old pal 6100m/pikapark201
(Sry for stealing ShockSlayer's haha)
But, with all seriousness as my wii portable is being prepared to a point I can make a work log, I decided to do a Atari 2600 portable.

It's called.. the A2600-SP.

My main design goals are:

SD Card or CompactFlash w/ ROM Flashcard
Somewhat impure VGA (or pure depends on what I can get *out of it*)
Extra bright screen and 6-12 hours of battery life
Ben Heck Atari VCSP Special Edition Design Use (the AI file on his site if you will)
Custom gold label similar to Ben heck's but with additional info + pretty good serial number cryptography (hope that makes sense)
Joysticks instead of D-Pads and knobs + Sanwa Red button for action button (more info on the specifications of that later)
Fully functional I/O, complete with slave/master, S-Video out, reset and turbo etc. and all!
2.5 inch or bigger screen

And much more later!


I already have the label/cryptography stuff in production, but I am going to post PCB stuff in a few days here, so hope you enjoy that.

See you guys then,
6100m/pikapark201
