I've been working on a way to improve the video output. I've discovered that simple re-soldering the existing crystals helped a great deal. It's possible that a small amount of resistance across the one located near the UP pad may improve things a bit more, but I've yet to try it.

Hi Jeff, It's great you're working on a fix for the video problems. What I am confused about is the bizarre, computer-generated moiré effect that seems to actually be part of the interference people see. That is, it appears to me that the problem is not a loose connection, but how the video is encoded (that weird moiré effect seemed to occur on my old 8-bit Nintendo as well - but it wasn't RF interference ). Any thoughts? Anyone with similar experiences? Am I interpreting what I see correctly? Papa Smurf bluebuddies.com/

Using S-Video makes the video work super good!

Actually, Jeri is the *real* brain behind any real inprovements in video. I bounced my results off her, and she supects that I infact corrected the "xtal" by applying heat to it. While mine is now nearly perfect, I doubt that this is some that can be duplicated by others with real success. (In otherwords, it appears that I got lucky! ) Jeff

The xtals are really low cost, so they drift a lot. You must have been lucky to change the xtal with heat.

Jeri said they skimped on the crystals. If you buy some 3rd overtone ones, they'll work better
