It was newly formatted FAT32 using GParted. Fresh format and then copied the games over. I used the same process with the good working 32GB microSD card. I have run into this sort of situation with other flash carts and ODE's in the past as well, so now when I run into loading issues my first instinct is to try different media. Initially when I was getting the black screen with Iron Soldier I searched the forums here and found some other posts with people saying the exact same thing so I chalked it up to a compatibility issue. I was quite surprised to see that the game actually DOES work...just not with my first choice of media.

Did you check if your original SD card was fragmented? That can cause issues for the JagGD, though mainly for CD games. Mitch

Hi I want to share my most recent project: Robo Tito (a.k.a Tito el robotito contra los fantasmas) It is a jumpless platformer where you control Tito, a robot that can't jump, but he can stretch to reach platforms and hang from them. Due to a programming error in his system, he is allergic to scary things. To his misfortune he is trapped in a place infested with scary things (zombies, ghosts, bats, skulls), so he have to look for an exit, avoiding to touch those spooky stuff. I have tested it on Stella and on actual hardware. But as always testing and feedback would be appreciated. FIRST DEMO Robotito Demo 1

Aha, thank you I was wondering about that port! So we just unplug the wireless modem temporarily to access it? The SD card version of the PlusCart seems redundant with the Flash RAM being so easily accessible.

Thanks to all who responded, and much thanks to foft. Turns out the config programs need to be launched from DOS (I tried MyDOS and it worked). I was finally able to flash the PokeyMax core 🙂.

I've been running my emulator on Mame .170 for a very long time (obviously) Decided to try to upgrade to the latest .264. But duplicating the general settings, the trackball on my X-Arcade isn't working at all on the new version. Not even sure what to check at this point. It's just supposed to be a mouse. The trackball even moves in the interface, just not the games!

Just a quick update.. I made this Epson ESC/P Parser APP (Work-in-Progress) with Atari ST ASCII to Unicode lookup table. You can choose system installed fonts or fonts from app sketchPath("Fonts") folder. 😃

The Inty HSC is now in a suspended state. The games currently open will stay open until we get more players. No new games will be added until the ball gets rolling again and if that doesn't happen, SO BE IT!!! 🥺

Yeah you've got all the evidence right there. Right there in front of whoever designed the chars. Still, they knew how to make lower case in dot matrix. But from memos I see, their world was usually devoid of lower case. MEMOS WERE WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS. I speculate that all online messages traveled through IBM mainframe in EBCDIC with no lower case.

Can you dump the RAM after a failed WiFi Update?

Now that my Jaguar is repaired and I can actually play around with the GameDrive I have been having a blast most of the day and evening I did discover fairly quickly however that it is pretty picky when it comes to the flash media. Not necessarily with detecting it, but success rate of loading games. Initially I was using a Sandisk ImageMate 32GB microSD card, this one in particular: https://www.walmart.com/ip/SanDisk-32GB-ImageMate-microSDHC-UHS-1-Memory-Card-Up-to-120MB-s-SDSQUA4-032G-Aw6ka/547052541 It worked fine for the most part...I played quite a few games. But, there were some issues that I would have completely chalked up to the GameDrive versus the media. Stuff like Braindead 13 glitching, Dragon's Lair freezing on launch, Iron Solider II going to a black screen (even the cartridge dump). For the heck of it I decided to change the media and use what I normally use, which is this Sandisk model: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GY9NYRM/ And wouldn't you know that those problems are gone. I have not tested all of the Jag CD games, but the aforementioned titles now work and Iron Soldier plays just fine (both CD and cart dumps). Maybe all of this is common knowledge but I figured I would throw this out there. If you are having issues it might be the media and not the console or the GameDrive. I find it very odd however that both of these cards have similar specs but one works fine over the other. It must be the NAND flash that is used in each.

Looks like the one from this haul Any chance you are repairing the other falcons too? … and yes I have a morbid curiosity about how many systems total will be saved/restored. Also is it normal for c-lab mk1 to have a white kb? http://msx.fab.free.fr/mpc2/atari/atari16-32/c-lab.htm the link seems to show the dark grey one, the case as well looks different (but that could be due to the yellowing).

I have the same feeling, but I have been assured it did come out.

I'll send you one for the price of shipping pm me

That would be nice. I passed on one recently, but I did grab the Solution Sheet.

But the question I have is this: Aren't C-Labs supposed to have done those fixes in their Falcons? If so, is this their work or is this a transplanted motherboard from an Atari branded falcon? Don't get me wrong... It is great to have a working falcon these days... But I would be curious to know if it is an original mk-i or not.

I may have a spare Raiders tip sheet lying around. Let me see if I can track it down.

But... that would allow you to see the games more clearly. I fail to see why anyone would want that. 🤔

I can understand that. The battery install looks great so I figured you might be able to do the FRAM upgrade as well. It is pretty easy to do. I used 1808 chips because I happen to have a few of those on hand. But if you use an actual 1608 variant, it is just a drop in replacement to solder into place making it one of the easier upgrades to do. I've done it on my CDX and Model 2 SegaCD along with several Saturn consoles. So it is pretty straight forward and I'm happy to assist.

As an fyi, I don’t think the Raft Rider square cart actually exists as a production release. I’ve been looking for years and the only couple I’ve ever seen were pre release versions. Never a standard label looking one. I’m not 100% on this, so if anyone has proof otherwise, feel free to point it out.

What would be the going rate for the 99/4A User's Reference Guide? (Asking here as there are a bunch on eBay...) SOMEHOW, and I really have no idea how, mine has disappeared. Does anyone happen to have a spare of the loose-leaf edition?
