While it's no Ben Heck model, this is a very nice custom portable. While personally I have no interested in playing 2600 games on the go, or enjoy wood cases, I have to admit this thing could change my mind.
Specs include:
1 - This ATARI 2600 VCSp uses a led modded screen. With led mod applied; it savesa huge amount of battery amperage.
2 - This portable has 6XAA rechargeable batteries at 2500mAh.
3 - Batteries are recharged in the unit via a charge jack.
4 - Batteries last at least for 2-2.5 hours thanks to the led mod I applied.
5 - The unit uses new video mod and has perfect image.(Don't take the photos as reference, though. They are taken by a 2mp camera.)
6 - Unit has both the four-way controller(with custom design) and the paddle controller. Four-way controller has seperate trigger unlike the paddle, whose trigger is located on the custom four-way controller. You see that little red triggerish thing? That's it, cool isn't it?
7 - Unit has a colour adjust pot at the back, over the battery compartment.
8 - The three knobs at the bottom of the front half are for volume adjust, brightness adjust and colour adjust(I mean you can change the setting from the very colourfull to B/W)
All in all, a very nice and well done mod. Ben Heck's book has been sitting on my shelf gathering dust since it launched ( four years ago?), as has been a half hacked up NES system. I really should get back to that one day.
Are you making this available for sale?
Do you have schematics or directions on how to
make one for yourself?
Thanks in advance,
Tom
