Hello, I am new to the forums and was wondering what I am doing wrong with my portable atari. I have double checked connections but I can't seem to get it up and running. Any help would be great!

It seems that was his problem, he didn't know what was wrong. If he did, he would have said so or just fixed it himself without someone telling him to figure out the answer to his own question.

@imac4567: Good luck on your portable man!

It appears you are doing the old AV mod. Try the newer AV mod. It has much better results.

ok I probably will a little later, I have heard of it but I already had everything for the old one so i put it off to the side. But how better is it?

I think banditpaw meant that some symptoms would be nice, other than "it's not working." Classic rookie mistake, though. Looks good so far, keep it up! As far as wiring goes, you're past the hardest part, the rest is just a lot of busy work

Yea I know now how to work things now, just looking and researching now on screens and which one to use for my project. Do you have any recommendations for screens that are good yet cost effective?

It seems that pustom screens are good, but I would personally go for the PSone screen (but 5" is probably overkill for an Atari).

Do you have a link to find them?

Found Screen: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... K:MEWAX:IT but how can I get sound as there are no speakers?

This project posted by Rekarp initially would work well and is pretty simple for an audio amp. Here's the data sheet for the IC if you want to see it.

Got the screen and 1W amplifier, will update when it arives, thanks for the info
