MB-TIA Cartridge is alive !

Hi everyone I’m back and my project too. It was not easy. Not because of the technical issues, just bad karma. In 2011/2012 I made a working firmware and a manager under Max/MSP. Because of personal reasons, I put the project on hold. End of 2012, I received a message from Eptheca who asked me the status of the project. With his help we decided to print 3 PCB’s. Unfortunately during this period, the hard drive of my computer suddenly decided to leave me, and I lost all my work: ((

MB-TIA Cartridge. The TIA (Television Interface Adaptor)

The Television Interface Adaptor(TIA) is the custom chip that is the heart of the Atari 2600 game console, generating the screen display, sound effects, and reading input controller. I/O Pin: Clock and CPU Synchronization: The 3.58 MHz oscillator (OSC Pin) also clocks a divide by three counter on this chip whose output (1.19 Mhz) is buffered to drive an output pin called 00. This pin provides the input phase zero clock to the microprocessor which then produces the system 02 clock (1.1

MB-TIA Cartridge. Presentation.

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
