HD Ready S-Video for Your Atari 2600Subscribe Subscribe

Here’s some great information for anyone who still has their 2600 and no CRT TV to play it on.

Via Hack A Day,

[Ben Heck] posted this writeup about getting S-Video/composite out of an Atari 2600. This is actually the hack of [Longhorn Engineer], who showed it to [Ben] at a recent event. If any of you have tried to play these classics on a modern TV you may have found it to be quite difficult. If you manage to get it physically connected, through adapters and such, you may still have video issues. This alleviates that issue completely. After you solder this in, your Atari has native composite/S-video. As you can see in the video after the break, it seems to work pretty well.

For more information on the installation process, check out Ben Heck’s detailed write up.
