Questions

How big is the Atari 2600 AV Mod PCB?

It measures 52 × 28 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Atari 2600 AV Mod use?

20 parts, built around the 2SC1815. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Atari 2600 AV Mod KiCad files?

From the knightfox75/Atari_2600_AV_Mod repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad Project/atari_2600_av_mod.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCad Project/atari_2600_av_mod.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Atari 2600 AV Mod design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
