cbmeeks Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Hello all. Does anyone know if the schematics for the Suoer Game Module has ever been released? Would be great to have these so that others could build one without waiting on production runs. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 You could re-create the schematics. Keep in mind that you'd also need to re-create the CPLD code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbmeeks Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Ah, didn't know it use CPLD. Either way, would be nice to have schematics, code, etc so others could build. Seems like a great project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Find the schematics for the ADAM Expansion Module #3, strip everything out except the extra memory and then add in the alternate sound chip that is used in the SGM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbmeeks Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 Is that basically what it is? More RAM and another SN76488 (or clone)? Not that isn't great. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youki Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 You could make your one for less than 15usd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 There were numerous versions of the SGM made by Opcode throughtout all the years of development, but yes, the final released version that was finally made adds extra RAM to the CV like the ADAM does (no need to reinvent the wheel and best to keep things compatible) as well as the second sound chip option. Insuring compatibility was a very important decision by Opcode and the reason why numerous SGM games work on the ADAM without the SGM. With all that said, the finished product with box is a thing of beauty and you should make ever attempt possible to acquire one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbmeeks Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 I would love to aquire one. But I don't think they are made any more are they? Another reason I would like the schematics is that I would like to build some modules myself. Not unlike the SGM but not like it either. I'd like to experiment with putting a SID chip on there using the SIDCog running on a propeller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 If you haven't already, send Opcode a PM here or email through his website to see if you can be added to the waiting list. It's worth a shot. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbmeeks Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 I did a while back. From what I read he is MIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 He just posted an update two days ago: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/211340-super-game-module-second-run/?p=3213385 I sent him a pre-order about a month or so ago and it looks like I at least made the current list, so there is some hope to getting one.
