With the help of a cutter knife, dremel and hotglue it fits into a classic Atari 800 Cartridge.

Some dremel, hotglue and time…

Reference: https://www.wudsn.com/index.php/productions-atari800/tools/thecart/atari-800-fix

Only Cut one circuit and add a wire and you are done

I put them together and we got one to rule them all
Meanwell RT-65B and a 9V AC Power Supply

9V /2100mA
5V / 5,0A
12V / 2,8A
-12V /0,5A

So it works @:

• Atari 8 Bit Computer like 600XL, 800XL, 1200XL, 800XE, 64XE, 130XE
• Atari 8 Bit Computer like Atari 400, 800, Atari 810, Atari 1050
• Commodore C64, C16, C64C
• Commodore Amiga 500,500Plus, 600,1200
• Commodore CD32, Commodore 1541 II
• Neo Geo 5V Unit

An easy mod, because all parts in a Atari 600XL are socket and you  only need to change 2 RAM Chips and do some wiring

Works with Pal and here shown NTSC Version

Remove U11 and U12 (was: TMS 4416-15NL 4bitx16k)

Replace with : MCM41464 AP10 (4bitx64k)
or : NEC D41464C-10 (4bitx64k)
OR : HMS50464P (4bitx64k)
or : any 4464 equialent (4bitx64k)

To put the DIN 13 in the right position i need some plastic and drilled holes downunder to make the Din connectors accessable

replaced DIN 5 to DIN13

downunder chaos

because of no space at the CPU Board I needed to move the Sophia Board to another place. I uses some ribbon extension like this

and here we go. In front you see incognito board too

after finishing up it looks like this

I got a white „dental“ case and its time to make the jaguar ready for 2017

The title is something strange, but its comming from a Sega Saturn Mod years ago (the code is based on this). The Saturn reset button is used for change region and 50/60Hz.

Jaguar_RGB_Led_switchless

You will need:
-pic16f630
-button
-RGB-Led

I removed the RF-Unit to put my „standard“ DIN Connector and for adding a button instead of the chanel selector. With the help of this tiny button you can select between 50/60Hz.

(Overview)

(U25 Pin 11 sets the Console between 50 Hz (GND) and 60Hz (5V)
I used a US 60Hz Jaguar for modding, so you have only to solder this wire to Pin 11

Attention If you use the PAL console you have to look downunder and remove a Resistor R140!

(The Reset Line you will find U9 Pin 13  (GND = reset)

I removed the original LED and put instead a RGB-Led.

I set red for 60Hz and green for 50Hz.

If you find blue better, no problemo. But red/gn are the real colors of the Jaguar used in their countrys.

Usage:

Its like the switchless Mod for the Sega Saturn.

a) When you push the button for a moment. The Jaguar will do a reset

b) you push and hold the button. Now the Color of the LED will toogle between green and red. When you release the button

at red -> Jaguar Resets and starts with 60Hz
at green -> Jaguar Resets and starts with 50Hz

(bigger hole for Din RGB-Connector)

(RGB-Pinout)

(Reset button)

(overview)

(my standard Din Pinout, based on modified 5 Pin Din PC-Engine + 3 more for RGB)

Its time to add a 2nd Bios to the Jaguar.

You have to remove the original Jaguar Bios and use a DIP 32 socket.

With the help of a 29f040 FlashRom I added jagbios and BJL1.06

You need to concat the bios files:
Use: windows command: copy /B jagbios.bin + jagbios.bin + jagbios.bin + BJL106.bin 4in1bios.bin

and burn 4in1bios.bin to the 29F040 FlashRom

(overview)

Update 23.6.2017

I put a switch beneath the Power Switch to make it like a „real switchless“ mod.

So the Power switch can pressed a litte to:

• change 50/60
• Reset
• switch between original Bios and BJL

OR

Press it more deep to Power Off and Power ON like normal

I used a little switch with a ball at the end and put it inside like this:

standard

with button pressed a „little“

(Sorry about wrong JBL speaking its BJL Loader

I was modified before with A2600RGB from tim worthington and I used some more switches like select, reset from the Atari and extra button from tim worthingstons 2600RGB PCB

UWRC

Button A = normal FireButton 1 of Atari (Pin 6)

Button B = Firebutton 2 (Pin 9)

Select  =    Extra Button A2600RGB PCB

Start  = Start of Atari 2600

Button C= Select of Atari 2600

Button D = Palette switch A2600RGB PCB

All normal Controllers will work after mod too. Like paddle, racing, joystick.

(diodes, needed to make special functions from A2600RGB working, R=10k as pullup)

RX Led to show it though the power switch hole upperside red led down side gn led

a little comparsion between yesterdays remote and state of the art :-)))

I found some replacements here:

http://www.voelkner.de/products/43525/Microschalter-Ultraminiatur-5A-250V-Sim.-R.-Hebel.html

It was very tricky to add the Universal TX PCB in this tiny stick but after all it looks great
After removing original parts I add a Led and two more micro switches for Select and Start.

The chrome switch to swap between Layout Select/Start and Button X, Button Y

I must move the electronic of the LiPo to put it between the two fire Buttons
