MARIAdigitizer (PAL only)

This board is inserted between the MARIA chip and its socket in the Atari 7800 game console. The FPGA on the board listens to the digital communication between the MARIA, the TIA and the rest of the system and re-generates the video output in a near-digital form. This output signal (we call it 'lumacode') can then be flawlessly upscaled to a pixel-perfect HDMI signal using an RGBtoHDMI device or something with equal capabilities.

The kit contains a cable with crocodile clips for the lumacode signal so you have the best chance to make a solder-less install in your machine. If you don't mind soldering, you can clip off the clips and come up with your own installation method. In any case, I recommend using an RCA jack to bring lumacode out of the machine.

The board has currently been tested with the PAL variant of the MARIA and TIA. NTSC is currently in test any may still require chances. Order at your own risk.
