Well thank you everyone for all your overwhelming support this year. To those of you who have not yet been able to acquire one, I thank you for your continued patience. I will continue making them until everyone is served. Happy holidays and see you in the new year with possibly some new treats!
This started as simple project in 2017 to see how far a nearly 50 year old machine could go. It's been quite fun to re-imagine an alternate history in which Atari got into the home movie business instead of gaming.
Check out these youtube reviews from John Hancock and ZeroPage HomeBrew !
The movies are only 80x192 with severe limitations on color + sound quality, but if you squint your eyes and take a few steps back, you'll be rewarded with watching all your favourite videos on your favourite vintage console.
In order to keep costs down, the cart (case) is not included but the board is drop-in compatible with original Combat-style cartridges with little to zero modification. See my youtube video on how to encase it in your own cart, including replacing the label it ships with. It still works fine without the case, just plug it in bare (with the component side facing the switches!)
Please note: This cart does NOT work on modern emulation devices (Atari 2600+, Retron77, etc). Just works on the real thing!
The movie is just a specially encoded file on the SD card, so you can encode your own using free software with a plugin I wrote. You'll need a Mac or PC to encode the files, and an SD card reader to drag them back onto the SD card. (Make sure the SD card is formatted in FAT32 format and the MVC file is no larger than 4GB. This should give you about 4-5 hour play length.)
Follow the full step-by-step youtube tutorials or the github links below.
If you discover you've picked the wrong format sample movie in your delivery, not to worry just replace it.
Thanks and happy lo-def viewing!
Rob.
