I'm probably a bit nostalgic for a time I played the game console in the living room of my parent.
Need electronic sounds that have traumatized my childhood.
The Atari 2600.
I started this project 5 years ago. The first prototype I built was too big and too expensive to manufacture and not programmed into MIOS:

A friend of mine recently reminded me that I had promised to make one for him(another nostalgic).
So I resumed work in late 2010, after checking that no one already did.
The first question was whether I was able to program it into MIOS.
I tried and succeeded. Then I searched for housing. Why not in a game cartridge of the era!!!
So i try it too. AND it fits in the box.
The 2010 Proto

next: The TIA (Television Interface Adapter) Atari chip.

Help










Isn't this a pain to program? Guess you'll come to that in the next installment :P
The prototype box looks like a killer control for some expensive rack fx. The 2010 box looks like a pro crammed it!
greetz,
hawkeye (<- old atari 2600 fan
Maybe someone can help me to optimize the firmware, it works but we can do better.
I knew I'd found some atari fan. ;) cool
do you already have sound demoz?
I'm on it. But you can imagine, it's TIA with the SW of the MBSID V1, I kept all useful functionalities LFOs ENVS....obviously without filter and PW cause it doesn't exist on TIA.
And it's polynomial synthesis, waveforms are fixed but wavetable can works too (to do).
