ITC#89:- Atari 2600 6-switch UAV Install Process (NTSC)

This video was originally filmed about 2 years ago and some of the original video/audio was lost in that time. But it has been a long time coming and I'm glad to finally release and share my install process for UAV setups for both light and heavy 6-switch Atari 2600 NTSC consoles.

This install process differs greatly from the common method that attaches the UAV piggyback onto the 4050 IC chip that is present on these model 2600s. The 4050 in addition to handling the video buffering, also provides the circuit for the fire button triggers on the controllers and isn't always in a socket on these models. Therefore I don't use this method personally and use the point to point method shown in this video as it doesn't pose any risk to the TIA or 4050 IC chips in the console.
