"Hey, look!" She said trying to not doomscroll or get into CNN News Junkie Mode.

I got the Atari 800XL up and running! Just seeing it boot up and the keys register was good. Getting software to run from a flashcard was a little dicier, but I got most of it working.

I'm not sure if I can stream from it, though. The real-time video encoder I use does NOT like the video signal, showing it as a black and white semi-scrambled video signal (almost like composite video over component). But it does show it live making it easy to play games.
My elgato shows it fine, but there's a 1 second delay between what the Atari outputs and when it shows on screen making it impossible to play action games.

I think I did this before with my VCR and pumping a signal through composite to an encode AND coax to a TV. I'll figure something out.

Now...well, can't put off CNN News Junkie mode forever....
