128Kgames Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Something I should have mentioned. The SGM case mold must be used at least once every 18 months, otherwise it gets recycled. So I must place orders for cases every 18 months, otherwise we loose the mold. So you don't "own" this mold outright? Damn, that's not good. What about an option to buy? Does the place you are dealing with give you that option? I know you own your case mold so I would think you would want this one too, no?

Does the place you are dealing with give you that option? I know you own your case mold so I would think you would want this one too, no? Owning the module would be super expensive. But don't worry, I will make sure that I order enough cases before the mold is re-purposed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opcode Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 Seems like people got some sense of urgency, because we are quickly getting to 190 orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Oltmans Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I have a quick question about the SGM... when plugged into the ADAM, does it "take over" the system? I'm wondering how it behaves with the ADAM's built-in memory since it's already got 64kb and its own banking scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering how it behaves with the ADAM's built-in memory since it's already got 64kb and its own banking scheme. I believe that is part of the whole topic that got started on how to program with SGM in that you have to check if it is an adam first and if it is not then you activate the SGM memory but if it is an ADAM then you do not activate the SGM. Anotherwards the Adam takes over the SGM Except I guess it could still use the SGM's sound chip event though it is using the adam memory allocation instead of the SGM memory allocation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblenkle Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 The SGM will check to see if it's plugged into an ADAM and if it is, it will use ADAM's extra memory. If it finds a ColecoVision, it will use the SGM memory. I have a quick question about the SGM... when plugged into the ADAM, does it "take over" the system?

If it finds a ColecoVision, it will use the SGM memory. That's essentially correct, except that it's not the SGM itself that does the checking, it's whatever game cartridge is inserted into the console. This implies that the SGM's RAM will be disabled by default for games that don't require the SGM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King_Salamon Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I know this plugs into the Coleco system's expansion bay but on the Adam... where does it go? I was looking at getting an Adam and wondered where the Adam's expansion bay was located? I'm not talking about the Adam that requires a Coleco but the full-fledged Adam computer (that you can use Coleco carts on)? And yes, I am definitely an Adam noob... apologies if this is a trivial question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, I am definitely an Adam noob... apologies if this is a trivial question. Since I'm new to Adam too. I want to ask if a Coleco with the Adam Expansion Module has another slot for expansion. What if someone put the Coleco + Adam Expansion Module + the SGM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opcode Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 ADAM's expansion port is located on the right side. I am not sure if Luc had the chance to check the SGM with the CV+EM#3, but I don't see why it shouldn't work. Liduario, have we met before? Are you a member of Canal 3?

No, I've met you here for the first time and my first Colecovision just arrived two weeks ago! I bought it from Yurkie. I even don't know Canal 3. Well, only the Canal 3 that made Atari Games. I had an Atari when I was 6 but didn't hear about ColecoVision at that time. Did Canal 3 made Colecos here in Brazil? It's very cool that you speak Portuguese and your name and surname are Brazilian too, are you from Brazil? BTW, Eduardo is the name of my brother! My name is Alexandre Liduario, a new owner of a ColecoVision and very happy with this great console! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the EM#3 anymore, I sold it to retroillucid less than a year ago, so I can't test it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGameCollector Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I can't afford one right now but don't want to miss out on the Zelda clone. Do you think in the future these SGM games will run on an emulator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
