I’m really happy to see this back in stock, as it’s the best analog video kit available for the 2600. And while sure, the 2600 Lumacode mod is excellent for HDMI output, this kit offers a lot more analog options for people who need it. Basically, if you want all the analog output options, this is the right mod for you.
Tim also added a bunch of new features that have been requested over the years. Here’s the full list:
- Improved pause mode (mutes audio, displays ‘paused’ text on screen).
- Sync correction – fixes the wonky vertical sync of the Atari to make it standard compliant.
- Horizontal and vertical picture position adjustment (up to +/- 15 pixels in each direction).
- On board NTSC frequency oscillator can make a PAL/SECAM console run with exact NTSC console timing.
- On screen menu for easy for an easy way to set options and palettes.
- Comprehensive test mode that can test every input/output pin on the board.
- Compatible with Super Nintendo RGB cables as well as HD Retrovision Nintendo component video cables.
