spongebue Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 At 9:45PM CST on Sunday, November 14th, after 2 months, 3 days, 8 hours. and 18 minutes, I have finished my Atari 2600SP+ (the secret project I've been mentioning here from time to time) It may seem as though the color is off quite a bit from side to side, but that's because of the camera flash. (it's hard to get a good picture with that camera) The whole thing turned out pretty good overall. Anyways, you plug it into the TV using this plate I made. As you can see, it is not color-coded. It is, however, when turned on There is also a mono/stereo switch, as you can see here: I don't remember exactly where, but I actually discovered the mod somewhere over here. In my old 2600 handheld, I forgot to put in the joystick ports. Not this time! While it may be pretty on the outside (IMO) the insides are pretty ugly: While it took a while to build, I'm incredibly happy with the results. With my last one I rushed to make it get done as soon as possible. This time, I'm took my time and made it look good, since that's what I would want more in 20 years, assuming I still have it (I don't see why not...) I'm already considering my next similar project... and woudn't mind doing it since the mobo is smaller than I thought... I guess you'll have to wait and see what it is. If you want to see the progress of this atari, however, see this thread here hope you guys like it, spongebue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad2600 Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 It looks very nice spongbue. I wish I had the knowledge to build something similar. I admire the efforts of folks like yourself.

video game addict Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 What a smurfy idea! What's the SP stand for? And what do the red buttons do? I'm guessing they're the start & select, but what about difficulty switches are they represented too? Are they wired together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncillaryDrone Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Did that used to be a cigar box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio F Software Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Beautiful! What the dimensions of it? It's hard to judge the size from the pics. I'm guessing 8 x 12 x 3 Lets see how close I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 If that has difficulty/TV type switches, you rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongebue Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 details, eh? Lemme know what you want to know, and I'll tell you. The buttons on the bottom are for select, reset, and power. I could put in difficulty and TV type, but I never use them on my normal atari so I didn't bother with it. I guess I don't rule I think it's a cigar box, I just got it at Michael's for a few bucks. it's about 7.5x7.5x3, or so SP stands for semi-portable. It would be a plain old p, but it has no screen. As for a picture of me playing it, I'll see what I can do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Van Thorp Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Beautiful! What the dimensions of it? It's hard to judge the size from the pics. I'm guessing 8 x 12 x 3 Lets see how close I am. A little bit off topic. Is that the motor out of a Big Trak in the photo under your name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
