Is there a way?

Post by Retromaster »

well... I was scanning through bens book of how to do the composite video mod when I realized:

hey...this instruction is only if you hack it to a 4x4 inch square.
is there a way that you can comp mod it leaving the system intact?

Yes you leave everything as it is and just rig up the wiring same as in the book. The only reason the Ataris are cut down to the 4x4 squares are to save space, and most of the usable components are on the 4x4 square.

I think you might still want to remove the rf module (to aviod recombining everything).

If you want try it with them still mounted to the motherboard. Otherwise I'd say get a perf-board or something like that from Radio Shack and just put it on that, then mount it somewhere in the case.
