    Default Dusted off the Atari XEGS and got it running on the big screen.

    Topic says it all. I was wondering how it would look on the 47 inch tv. Good thing that XEGS had RCA cable jacks back in 1987. Very simple hook up and the games look good. I hope my project of making an Atari 8 bit will be doable and not too difficult. I saw one site and the ben hack version has alot of crossed wires and offset pin connetions from the xegs board to the atari 800 keyboard that im a bit concerned how this will go. But im getting a little off track Heres the pic of the XEGS on the 47 " LCD.

    I didn't get an XEGS until 5-6 years ago, but I love it.
    If you can't do it with 8 bits, you don't need to do it!
