RickR Posted November 5, 2016 Report Posted November 5, 2016 It's like the whole strategy of the game changes! Instead of trying to get a breakout....it's better to NOT get one to keep the bigger paddle. Justin and greenween 2

Atari 5200 Guy Posted November 5, 2016 Report Posted November 5, 2016 Such a crappy screen on my 2600. This just started, any ideas how to fix this? If other mentioned attempts don't work, you might have to change a few caps. Namely the one next to the AC power in jack and the one under the large cap (it should be wide and green). I had to perform this on mine and my signal is pretty good now. And similar cap with the same ratings will work as long as they are of the ceramic family. I'm not sure if ones from the electrolytic family will work or not. And I'm using RC to coax as well. Another small trick to try, while the TV and 2600 are on rotate the console's coax inside the RCA to coax to see if it distorts or clears up. These systems are very old and the cords fail from age easily. It's only copper after all I also noticed that if I bunched up the excess wires from the system to the TV and banded them (RF separate from AC of course) sometimes this helps with the signal quality as well. Hope those help. greenween, Justin and chas10e 3
greenween Posted November 5, 2016 Report Posted November 5, 2016 Thanks guys! Oddly enough, I hooked up my Vader and it's doing the same thing. My 7800 plays perfectly though. Guess i'll be attempting some repairs soon. I apologize for my difficulty settings fiasco, The 7800 is on the proper settings now so I'm going to keep trying! chas10e and RickR 2 "Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime."
chas10e Posted November 5, 2016 Report Posted November 5, 2016 yeah that's what screens shots or video is for ... "nerd credibility" the challenge just says: Difficulty Level: Game 1, Set Difficulty Switch to A THIS doesn't specify that "a" = advanced on sears consoles (and "b" = beginner) the 7800 console doesn't specify which is which the 7800 manual says "to the left is more difficult" but on MY console it is to the right I think all this exonerates you from doing anything amiss. it certainly made this challenge even more interesting I still haven't made the 3'rd screen greenween 1
