Odyssey 2 Hacking Questions
I've started pulling out all my old systems out of storage. Today I was working on cleaning up my Odyssey 2 (same one I had as a kid). But now I have some questions...
Does a schematic of the main board inside this thing exist anywhere? I've seen the hack to make it put out composite video and audio. I also saw that the hack isn't perfect and can lead to a darker picture and ghosting. I'm just wondering if the video is just not being picked up at the right point - a schematic would definantly help. Or am I wrong about the hack and the video not being perfect.
I assume the audio part is good. Which leads me to my next question. Has anyone opened up The Voice? I was wondering if it would be possible to pick the audio off it and combine it with the O2 audio point (Audio output = junction of C45 and R49) and sent that to an add-on jack on the back. If that is possible, does anyone know where you pick the audio up off The Voice?
Are there any other hardware hacks for this system? I am an electronics tech and can read a schematic and am fairly proficient with a soldering iron. There seems to be a fair amount of room inside this sucker to place additional circuit boards and stuff.
