Color for Atari XL Printing Project RAL 1013 perlweiß

November 24th, 2023

For 3D Printing I needed the color of the original cases of the XE and ST Series. So I bought a color checking device RAL RAL Color Reader and a RAL Farbkarte.
I checked several Atari XL Computer in different state of yellowing.

The best looking NOS Atari on the left side has the following colors.

RAL 1013 Perlweiß is best fitting for good looking Atari XL Computer not yellowed

For more yellowed units

RAL 1014 Elfenbein fitts for yellowed units like the right one.

First try RAL 1013

Juni 4th, 2020

The internal BackupRam is battery powered via a changeable CR2032.

With this mod the Backup will never get lost during battery failure.

You have to replace IC 8 (here a PAL Board 837-12135 PX PD SATURN MAIN VA PAL SD)

with a RAMTRON FM1808-70S and lift Pin 22 and Pin 28. Solder the wires to the lifted pins

Pin 22 to GND
Pin 28 to 5V

and you are done

Ultimate PC Engine Super Grafx

Februar 27th, 2020

One to rule them all. Flagship of the PC-Engine Fleet -The Supergrafx.
A customer asked me if I can put a SSDS3 inside a Super Grafx and I loved the idea

It holds enough space to put a complete SuperSDSystem3 inside.
Now its possible to have the complete PC Engine Software Library including all CDs in one unit and it looks like stock level.

Removing the original Extension Bus makes it easier to put all the wires to the SuperSDSystem 3.

A lot of wires needed

testing with original RGB Output from the SuperSDSystem3

Removing the original DIN A/V Connetor and replacing with a DIN 8.1 to make RGB
Output via the original A/V Port

a shieded cable to the A/V Port

and with the cover on the backside you see „nothing“.

We call it SuperSDSystem3 inside

Gradius III SA1 mod working on PAL SNES

Juni 26th, 2019

thanks to Vitor Vilea for the great Gradius III port with use of the SA1 Chip.:-)
No its time to make it real. As I done SA1 mods before with a 3,3V Flash chip I used this way

you need:

1x AMS1117 3.3V voltage Regulator Low Drop SOT-223

1x 100nF kerko (yellow)

1x MX29L3211 Flash

1x AS6C1008-55SIN RAM (1M)

I patched the japanese Rom and duplicated it 8 times (not sure if needed).

copy /b g3jpsa1.bin + g3jpsa1.bin + g3jpsa1.bin + g3jpsa1.bin + g3jpsa1.bin + g3jpsa1.bin + g3jpsa1.bin + g3jpsa1.bin + g3jpsa1.bin 8g3jpsa1.bin

use Voltage Regulator with kerko and wire 3,3V to the 3 detached Pins of (33,23,1) MX29L3211

Remove original RAM and free the soldepads from green coat and place in AS6C1008-55SIN

and ready to go without any slowdowns….

optional RegionFix SA1 Cart working on PAL SNES

Lift Pin 127 (5V floating) of U3 SA1 for 50Hz PAL SNES (regionfix)

You can use a 28F1610 instead of the MX29L3211 3,3V Flash

Here you have only to lift pin1 and set pin 1 directly to 5V
