Hi everyone !
Since the last 10 years or more I always wanted to also own a CVBS VideoOut modified NTSC Atari VCS/2600.
I'd like to keep it in my home (and not in the tavern, like all my other retrogaming stuff...) and connect it to the livigroom's TV, so it would be useful to play all my NTSC carts that usually run on my PAL VCS.
You know:
NTSCcarts_to_PAL2600_to_PALTV = wrong colors
NTSCcarts_to_NTSC2600withCVBSvideoOut_to_MultistandardTV = ALL RIGHT !

SO

Does ANYONE own a (CVBS/S-VideoStereo modded) NTSC 2600 / 2600A / 2600jr. for sale ?
No matter if it's not already modded, 'cause I can eventually do this .

[ - The problem is shipping it here in Italy, that is always SO HEAVY, as I could have seen on eBay pages... typically 50 and/or more €uros is REALLY TOO MUCH for me ... - ]

This discussion I'm having with some people in another (italian) forum could probably reminds the "5-wire-modchip" for the Playstation, as it did for some of us ...

WELL,
I live in a PAL region, but I own several NTSC carts that my PAL L6 obviously shows (on a PAL TV) with wrong colors.

TV viewing basics and TIAs different color palette apart, I really have to know one thing:

Could it be possible for a S-Video/CVBS modded NTSC 2600 to show on a PAL TV (of course capable to catch the 60hz signal) the right NTSC colors ?

Sorry for that probably not-well translated phrase...

I want to say:

A> I have PAL TVs, 50/60 Hz (but not-multistandard)
B> I own several 2600 NTSC carts
C> I (want to) have a NTSC 2600, modded with the S-Video/CVBS (+ stereo audio out...) modboard (LongHorn ?)
= Is it enough at all to view NTSC games with their right colors on a PAL television ?

Got a few more spare time in these days (also got a pneumonia that forces me to stay at home...) and, if wife and daughter let me do it, I could do many PC jobs that I couldn't do in other times... !

One of those little works is to create boxes for the "Arcade series" of some VCS games...
As I did before for the RK's Pac-Man Arcade and Defender Arcade, then here is another, of course in the same "Arcade-series Light SIlver" color !
