Flashcart for Atari 2600 and Atari 7800 by Andrea Ottaviani based on Pico “Purple” clone, easy to build and cheap.

This is a “double-face” flashcart, it could be used for both Atari 2600 and Atari 7800, simply rotating it and inserting the cart in different Atari, it doesn’t support all bank-switching schemas, but enough to enjoy your Atari 2600 / Atari 7800 with a single flash-carts.

I made some improvements to the PCB and the cartridge case taking inspiration from the project published on GITHUB.

PCB improvements:

• 4 x Holes for PCB fixing.
• 1 x Resistor for the LED.
• Fixed component silkscreens.
• Removed pads and silkscreen of the front switch.
• Added two pads for the side mini switch.

Thanks to a dear friend who can draw 3D (i’m completely hopeless) we redesigned the cartridge case from scratch recovering all the measurements of the original cartridge (Atari 2600/7800).

There are many improvements, below i try to list some of them.

• Through holes for closing the case, the carbon steel screw is screwed directly onto the bolt on the back side of the cartridge that is embedded in the plastic, this is to prevent the screw from deforming the plastic over time.
• Hole to use the USB-C connector of the Pico Purple without opening the case every time you want to update the ROM files.
• Hole and lateral support for mini switch.
• Supports for the PCB so that if you have to open the cartridge it remains stuck in the front part of the case.
• Hole for the lateral button cover of the correct size.
• Stronged the entire structure of the cartridge including the inserts (horns) to give a feeling of solidity.
• Repositioned Atari logo and writings on both sides of the cartridge.

The GERBER file for the PCB and STL for the cover will soon be available on Andrea Ottaviani Flashcart 10400 GITHUB page.

I leave you the links to buy the screws and micro switches.

I received this console to made a repair and a video chip upgrade.

The repair:

The failure appeared as a malfunction of the Joystick inserted in port #1 of the console. This problem is absolutely not new to this console.

The failure is due to the 74LS541 IC which, in addition to being uncommon (it is rarely used), is very sensitive to electrostatic electricity, consequently if you try to connect the joystick with the console turned on, the probability that it will fail is very high.

I preferred to replace with a socket for both IC, one for each joystick port, because the probability of a future failure remains very high.

Video Chip Upgrade:

I would like to point out that this CBS ColecoVision model does not have native RGB video output but only RF.

It was possible to do the Composite Video mod but since in recent months the good Troy Schrapel has released on github the Pico9918 project that completely replaces the TMS9918A video chip and the Video RAM with a very low cost i decided to do the replacement.

This Video Chip are used in many consoles and computers including the CBS ColecoVision.

The Pico9918 can be configured using a different firmware to output in VGA or via SCART RGB.

I obviously chose the RGB SCART output, the installation is quite simple, you have to unsolder the TMS9918A, insert a socket and at this point you can insert the pre-programmed Pico9918 and connect the R-G-B-GND-SYNC (H/V) signals, optional you can completely remove the PCB with the RF modulator.

The wires that you see soldered directly on the ColecoVision motherboard are for the AUDIO output (purple wire) and for the 5v (orange wire) the 5v are for the RGB switching of the TV.

The connections inside the scart connector are as follows: the 5v go to pin 8 and then via a 150ohm resistor to pin 16.

Also as you can always see from the photos i put some adhesive tape on the metal cover at the height of the Pico9918, i did it only for my personal paranoia, the metal does not touch the Pico9918 but better to be safe :-D

Although these diagnostic roms for Intellivision are freely downloadable online i had a bit of trouble finding them so i decided to write this post.

The ZIP archive contains the ROMs and the .CFG file for the correct mapping.

I installed the ZOE RGB rev 2.0 interface for a friend, this interface allows you to view the images with an RGB output signal with a much better quality instead of the only output supplied as standard which is RF.

This interface was purchased by me many years ago and was the last batch of the ZOE RGB rev v2.0 that i had assembled.

After several years i can confirm that the image quality is perfect and clear.

Unfortunately, as often happens, the mechanics of the ATARI XC11 cassette recorder also suffer from old age problems. The cap/block of the belt drive pulley broke and consequently, being under pressure with a spring, it popped off.

I fixed the cap on the small plastic pin of the pulley with cyanoacrylate glue, it could work forever or only for a short time, only time will tell.

Gallery of the repair:

I wanted to upgrade another Philips Videopac G7000 console and adding everything i wanted to do many years ago when i only added the RGB output instead of the RF one.

While i was doing the work of modifying the console i realized that something was wrong with the games and the RGB output, some games were missing the background color or the color was faded, other times the colors are wrong, but this defect was not present with all games and therefore it was not a wiring problem (colors are not swapped likes a problem with the R-G-B wiring).

I had never realized it and probably other people have never realized it either, because it does not happen with all the games but thanks to the Flash Multicart by Andrea Ottaviani i was able to try all the software released for the G7000 and confirm that something was not working correctly.

The problem is due to the type of RGB mod, i had taken the one from the gamesx.com site as good, that is the one that has been available from about fifteen years and that almost everyone has installed but there is another mod that is completely different and above all uses a particular pin of the Intel 8048 CPU (pin 39 [T1]).

Hesitantly i wanted to try this modification and it is actually all true, it works, now the RGB mod is perfect as for the Videopac G7200 (native with RGB output) and G7400 (Native RGB by adding the components that are missing on the PCB)

Later i discovered that this RGB mod was not born like this by chance, the scheme was designed taking inspiration from the original schematic of the G7200/G7400 where this particular CPU pin is used.

Below is the list of all the modifications and enhancements that have been made:

• RGB Mod 100% Working with a extra pin from CPU (No more missing background or colors via RGB on G7000)
• External RGB DIN Hirschmann Connector.
• Power external Switch with Power-On Light.
• Power external Connector.
• Two Joystick D-SUB external Connector.
• Replaced the original PSU with a Mean Well EPS-15-5.
• RF modulator removed.
• Simple Composite Video signal amplification circuit.
• Separate composite Video and Audio output via external RCA connectors.

This is a Flash cart (PicoPac-Multicart) for Philips Videopac G-7000, G-7200, G7400, C52, JOPAC and Odyssey 2 by Andrea Ottaviani.

This Flash cart for Videopac / Odyssey 2 is based on Videopac-microSD Multicart project by Wilco2009 (https://github.com/wilco2009/Videopac-micro-SD-Cart)

PicoPAC is a multicart DIY yourself based on cheap “PURPLE” Raspberry Pi Pico clone, easy to build and not expensive and using its 16mb flash for storing games instead of the SDCard.

How much i paid for the PicoPac-Multicart?

• 1 x RP2040 Pi Pico Purple : €2.69
• 1 x JLCPCB PCB : €1.00
• 1 x DIODE 1N4148 / Push Button : €1.00 +/-

More or less for each single Philips Videopac PicoPac-Multicart complete with all the components you will spend €4.69.

The price of each component also includes the cost of shipping and customs clearance.

Below you will find the photos of how i repositioned the BUTTON, i preferred to install in this position rather than on the upper side of the cartridge (default position of the PCB).

You can also download the front cartridge label, UF2 firmware v1.0a and a ZIP archive with 200 games.

This is a Flash cart (Pico-Multicart) for SABA Videoplay by Andrea Ottaviani.

This is a forked version of 3DMaze PicoVideocart for using a cheaper and simpler pcb based on pico “Purple” clone and using its 16mb flash for storing games instead of the original SDCard.

How much i paid for the SABA Videoplay Pico-Multicart?

• 1 x RP2040 Pi Pico Purple : €2.69
• 1 x JLCPCB PCB : €3.00
• 1 x DIODE 1N4148 / Resistor 330Ohm / Push Button / LED : €2.00 +/-

More or less for each single SABA Videoplay Pico-Multicart complete with all the components you will spend €7.69.

The price of each component also includes the cost of shipping and customs clearance.

Below you will find the photos of how i repositioned the LED and the BUTTON, i preferred to install both in this position rather than on the back of the cartridge (default position of the PCB).

Another thing i want to say is to solder the Pi Pico Purple as close as possible to the PCB, i soldered the strips and then removed the plastic holder, this is to avoid you having difficulty closing the cartridge case.

You can also download the cartridge label (front and back), firmware and games in UF2 format, the games must be programmed first and then the firmware.
