Oh damn! Sorry I thought this portable and Project Unity were one and the same. Any both projects are gonna be awesome.

In your first post it sounded like you are going to include a paddle controller. If you are, could you please tell me how you get it to work? I tried a 100k and 1M pot for a paddle but the FB2 only detects it as going halfway. :?

Right, right, sorry. I attached a 1M pot in the correct way, and it works fine. But (lets say I'm playing breakout) I turn the pot halfway and the paddle is already moved across the entire screen. Turning the pot any further has no effect. Any ideas?

Oh, how interesting. I've never played a real Atari before, so I didn't know.

Excellent portable you have going there, by the way. I always enjoy your projects.

Hi Rekarp...

Congratz on working on this model, I've got a doubt. You said that your lcd screen comes from AEIcomp, I wanna know what model is??

Is this??
http://www.aeicomp.com/Detail.asp?Produ ... 250_LCD35L" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
??

If the link is your screen, how can you manage the 12V that this screen requiers with atari power supply??

Many Thanks!!
Excellent work!!

The one im using here is a cheap one off ebay. AEIcomp screens can run off of 5V. Atleast they used to be able to.

Its done! video uploading now. Setting up the photobooth for the awesomeness. Only has one issue but I can't do anything about it. The screen takes a couple seconds to sync with the image. Crappy Chinese junk. I shall never buy one again!
