Should be able to get them started today, probably even finished.

Need to go find some ROM files 😁

There are not so much components to solder, so you should be good today.

I think so :)

The only issue I have is that there is a diode on both boards that protects the console if the 5v is left connected to the Pi, but I can't find what diode to use. I suspect a 1n4148 would do the job but I like to be sure.

EDIT - Found the diode, it is a 1n4148 :)

And built:

Also now programmed so I just need to find some ROMs and we're off to the races.

The blue PCB is also for Coleco, but I'm going to do that later.

Coleco cart tests great :)

Need to do the same for the Intellivision and then start adding more carts :)

I knew that TMS VDP blue and white display would appear at some point.
