Atari Star Wars on oscilloscope

There should be a 'Z' channel for blanking the retrace lines.

[themrworf1701]

record some part of game on 2 chanell audio recorder on PC(left&right headphone), and post that sound, so we can all watch it on our oscilloscopes!!!! PLEASEE!!! :P

[gerjaison]

cool



[skapista92]

have you seen TRON the movie? XD

[Masterpj555]

Those aren't retrace lines but they are blanking lines.

[wobrote]

But does it blend? :L

[MucusFelidae]

Next time you switch off the roof lamp

[mrRhwalden]

That is just awesome... One of my favorite all time arcade games to boot!

[74brooklynboi]

That is so badass. I never knew this could be done on an o scope.

[Draknfyre]

I never thought of playing a vector game like that on an oscilloscope. Nice.

[cobrachoppergirl]

Impressive, young jedi. We shall be following your career with great interest....

[KoreanMeatball]

yes, but can it play crysis?

[Quartrez]

@KoreanMeatball Yes. But why would you want to play Crysis when you can play Star Wars ??

[emlygo]

is it connected in the yellow video plug? i wanna do this too!!!

[bertuzzoshi]

it's very good!!

[djlobb]

would this work with xbox?

[Qnabber]

Battlezone would be awsome !

[tuxicle]

Use a scope with a Z-blank input to avoid the retrace lines

[AnalogRocks]

oops! Whatdayamean "oops"? lol

Nicely done. Score another one for the geeks!

[hankiraku]

WOW

[oneUNITED7SS]

You're my hero.

[mrbeanslefthandman]

i run Visual Studio on my oscilloscope and develop software. My oscilloscope is also connected to the internet (broadband). I am getting 200MHz/s download speeds.

[MrRodrigez]

LMFAO

[tehmadcap]

I managed to clock my oscilloscope to 350ultrabytes so i can watch HD porn on it

[porcorosso81]

Actually, you need a pixel frequency of 148 Mhz to display 1920x1080

[SonyCrocket]

@tehmadcap I might be interested on it, hahahah

[puffadder01]

@mrbeanslefthandman Did you buy some hardware to generate the the interface or did you develope it yourself?

[ThrilloVanHouten]

This is just plain far out

[cobrachoppergirl]

You should try the old vector game Red Barron by Atari. Also Battlezone.  And Tempest.

[AtariAndre42]

By me a Red Baron, Battlezone and Tempest, and consider it done ! :D

[AtariAndre42]

@cobrachoppergirl Just send me the cabs and consider it done my friend !!! (I prefer Red Baron cockpit, but the cabaret is also nice ! :P

[eklipsegirl]

@AtariAndre42 why not use an emulator?

[spadehatesscrewtube]

@cobrachoppergirl then ... ADVENTURE! gotta love the future windows mouse icon that atrari came up with years l8tr.

[VaderNES]

I want to try this when I find the original boards, a power supply, and a '50s oscilloscope (I like them better than digital and later square analog ones). It might not work as well, but fuck it, I will try it anyway.

Also, I too feel bad for the game's deflection circuits. Such an awesome game.

[OBOGAN]

lol ! realy funny :D

[nephildevil]

wow that's pretty cool!

[19andrew80]

Very interesting and well done video mate! -cheers!

[Maxxarcade]

If you can get the Z output working with the scope, the retrace lines will go away. I think you may need a simple inverter-amplifier circuit to do it though.

Nice straight lines on that scope, must be a good one.

Star Wars was a cool game, really pushed the limits of XY technology. I feel sorry for the deflection circuits in the monitor :-)

[togst]

Cool, I have to try this on my ping pong console :-)

[AtariAndre42]

That won't work because that's not a vector game.

[AtariAndre42]

@togst Won't work because that's not a vector game.

[Amishman35]

Classic Vector Games, and oscilloscope exudes coolness.

[AtariAndre42]

thanks :)
