+grips03 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 So I went back to my TV tonight to look at the options, because you're right I had totally forgotten about all the different settings, and interestingly enough, under HDMI I didn't have an option for 4:3 aspect ratio. I had "normal", "zoom", and "stretch", then of course comparing that to the native RGB mode. So I took some screen shots to compare. I'd love to get other people's feedback on this because I'm really on the fence about what I think looks better. Take a look: Here's Pac-Man Collection side by side with all the different options. For my HDMI pics, the VGA cable is coming out of the F18A mod into an HDMI converter (see previous page for brand and type) and then into my HDTV. Left to right is: HDMI normal. HDMI stretched. HDMI zoomed. Native RGB mode. (Right out of the CV and into the TV) pacman_hdmi_normal.jpg pacman_hdmi_stretched.jpg pacman_hdmi_zoomed.jpg pacman_rgb.jpg Clearly the zoomed and stretched versions look terrible, but I'm on the fence about the HDMI vs. RGB, especially with Juice's new HDMI mod, which I'm interested in, but I'm not sure about now... Here's a few other games we are more used to seeing: HDMI on the left. RGB on the right. The HDMI version is with my TV's "normal" setting. mrdo_hdmi.jpg mrdo_rgb.jpg dk_hdmi.jpg dk_rgb.jpg Take Donkey Kong for example. The left hand version is what we have been used to seeing since 1982. But could it be that we've just been looking at a stretched out, fatter version of the game this whole time when it's really meant to be a bit narrower? Same thing with Mr. Do. Here's another look at a brand new game: boxxle_hdmi.jpg boxxle_rgb.jpg While I like both of them, and the HDMI output is light years better than the RF or even an A/V mod, I think I'm starting to lean towards the look of the RGB mod, even though it doesn't fill up the entire screen. The TV I'm running in my office right now is a 22" Vizio M220VA. I'm planning to upgrade to a bigger screen towards the end of the year, and I notice that a lot of newer TV's don't even have an RGB input. Do newer screens allow for the HDMI settings to emulate the 4:3 aspect ratio? Here's one more look comparing both the RGB & HDMI along with the AV mod: HDMI on the left, AV in the middle, RGB on the right: moon_hdmi.jpg moon_av.jpg moon_vga.jpg Clearly the AV version is losing the battle here, but as for the other two... What are your thoughts? The wider HDMI version or the narrower RGB? I really can't decide! I like all your native VGA pics. This is how I've been using my F18a for a few years. Glad my TV has VGA input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juice2839 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I know what one of my next projects is going to be..... Making one of these wireless for the CV. I love the layout of this and it looks like it should have room for a small 3.7V LiPo rechargeable battery, small micro controller and transmitter pcb.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPR Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 And the games from Taiwan, Flappe Byrd box art was inspired by them. Going back and reading the Flappee Byrd box, in a way I'm bummed they didn't make the text have all sorts of random typos and use some absurd words that have little to do with the game! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 So here's a small but kind of important update to my F18A > HDMI posts I made earlier. If you missed those, you can read them HERE and HERE! To bring you up to speed, about a month or so ago I picked up a ColecoVision with the F18A chip installed from Chart45 and I was absolutely blown away by it! It really changes the look of the ColecoVision on screen by getting rid of the all the sprite flicker and also creating a much richer more colorful looking image without taking away the retro feel of the system. If you read the posts I linked to above, you can see how super impressed I was with it. The only issue was that using the HDMI converter that I had bought to go from VGA > HDMI stretched the screen out to 16:9 and I wasn't happy with those results. Well, today I'm happy to report that the stretching issue absolutely was due to the HDMI converter I was using, and a new one I picked up keeps the original 4:3 aspect ratio in the HDMI mode and looks FANTASTIC! Now, I still recommend going directly VGA but in the case that your TV might not support it, or if you're looking for an HDMI solution, I think this is something you should consider! First, let's take a look at some screen shots (and you might want to click the images to see the bigger versions): Here is what Pac Man Collection looks like going from the VGA output of the F18A to the VGA input on my TV: Without the F18A board installed, those ghosts would flicker because they are reaching the max amount of sprites on one scanline, but with the F18A board, you don't get any of that! (See the video below) Here is what it looks like using the new HDMI converter: Here is what it looked like using the OLD HDMI converter that stretched the screen: Clearly you can see the difference between the output of the two HDMI converters above, but let's take a closer look at the newer HDMI converter versus the VGA input: It's really, REALLY close! The VGA version still looks a *little* better and the colors are richer, but if need to go HDMI, I think this is a very good solution! Here is all three side-by-side. The image on the far right is with the HDMI converter that stretched the screen. IMO, it just doesn't look good: So here is the new converter that I bought and you can find it on eBay here for $27: http://www.ebay.com/itm/310638984846 and on Amazon here for $23: http://www.amazon.com/Vktech%C2%AE-Audio-Converter-Adapter-Scaler/dp/B016OLXZ00/ That seems like a pretty good deal for what captures the original VGA version of the output VERY well. It's hard for me to even tell the difference between the VGA and the HDMI output on the screen. Below is the original converter that I bought which does in fact take your VGA input and then auto-stretch it to 16:9 with no way to change it back to the original 4:3 output from the F18A board: So when looking for a VGA > HDMI converter, and I've seen a ton of them appear on eBay and Amazon, you want one that looks like this: NOT THIS ONE: I have no idea of this auto-stretch thing is common or uncommon among VGA>HDMI converters, but all I know is that I'd prefer to have a converter that does NOT upscale to 16:9 and allows me to do it myself via the TV controls if I want to make the screen wide or not. And the best news is that Matthew now has F18A boards back in stock! He posted about it HERE and Grips03 has posted that he will do an install service for it HERE. I've just been so impressed with how great the F18A looks (and I know this is old news for a lot of you), but to anyone that doesn't have this mod done yet, it's simply the best I've ever seen a ColecoVision look, and now there is an HDMI solution for it, too! And one more time for good measure, he's the video that shows with and without the F18A installed. The difference is just amazing! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sega_SHARK Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Those HDMI converters are such a crap shoot. Glad you found one that doesn't auto-stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValkerieSilk Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Oh man, this is outstanding... Just bought the F18A today... You should throw in an image of the pacman collection screen without f18a in rf, and coax next to the vga, old hdmi and new hdmi, would really show the major difference... just a thought Also... Looks like the same hdmi converter is on amazon for a tad less: http://www.amazon.com/Vktech%C2%AE-Audio-Converter-Adapter-Scaler/dp/B016OLXZ00/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1445555624&sr=8-1&keywords=SVGA+VGA+%2B+RCA+Audio+to+HDTV+HDMI+1080p+Converter+Adapter+Scaler+Box+HD+-Black Gotta Love the Manual ...."Loving it is easy, that's why so many people do" ...

TPR Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Those HDMI converters are such a crap shoot. Glad you found one that doesn't auto-stretch. I agree. After going through a couple of them now, I think it makes a lot of sense to keep the HDMI conversion external because a lot of the converters seem to be cheap Chinese crap. At least I found one that seems to do what I want it to do, and if this one dies on me, it's easy to at least replace it with another one. Also... Looks like the same hdmi converter is on amazon for a tad less: http://www.amazon.com/Vktech%C2%AE-Audio-Converter-Adapter-Scaler/dp/B016OLXZ00/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1445555624&sr=8-1&keywords=SVGA+VGA+%2B+RCA+Audio+to+HDTV+HDMI+1080p+Converter+Adapter+Scaler+Box+HD+-Black Gotta Love the Manual ...."Loving it is easy, that's why so many people do" ... That'll have to be my update today... I know! I totally LOLed when I saw that! Glad you found it slightly cheaper on Amazon. I did a search their earlier for "VGA to HDMI converter" and "scaler" and after a bunch of pages of not seeing it, I gave up. I'll add that link to my post above so people have some options. You should throw in an image of the pacman collection screen without f18a in rf, and coax next to the vga, old hdmi and new hdmi, would really show the major difference... How's this? Left to right: AV Mod - F18A via VGA - F18A via HDMI (no stretch) - F18A via HDMI (stretched) Next time I hook up my CV with the AV mod, I'll do a shot of Pac-Man so it's more of a true comparison. But this should give you an idea of the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Today was a very exciting day for me! I got in the very last cart I needed to complete my collection of released games! So I now have one copy of every game that was ever officially released for the ColecoVision and while most of them are loose carts, many of them are CIB. While I know this isn't that big of a deal to many people who have been collecting a while and have had a complete collection for a very long time, I only just started collecting in March and was pretty happy to at least get this far this quickly! Here it is! The very last cart I needed! The Robin Hood/Sir Lancelot Double Ender! Now I will say this cart needed a little bit of help, as it started off looking like this: And thanks to Kamshaft for the re-production label, I can now post a nice before/after photo: And of course thanks to Pixelboy for the scan of his label. I think for this cart I didn't mind having a re-production label since in a way I feel like the Double Enders are a bit of a cop-out, I mean, I had those two games as loose carts anyway, so now I just have them again. But, it was a released game, so I counted it. And because I'm still on my kick of wanting to show off how good the F18A board looks compared to an AV mod, here are the two games side by side with both options: Robin Hood: Sir Lancelot: Here is my complete list: 1. 2010 2.

TPR Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 So I recently got a few old issues of Electronic Games magazine in the mail, all these issues I also read when I was a kid, and it's interesting to go back and read them now as 40-something year old adult in a time where we have the Internet and can now look at things that we read in the past and how the affected the future. So I opened up the November 1983 issue and found a couple of interesting things... Remember these magazines? Was just so awesome to read about things that were happening in the industry, even if the lead time was at least three months. We didn't have the internet so waiting three months to find out news didn't seem like that big of a deal then! Wow! Check this out... In less than a year after the ColecoVision had been released, it was dominating Electronic Games' "Most popular videogames list" with SEVEN titles in the top 15! I wonder how many other systems other than the Atari 2600 can claim that sort of bragging rights? I should go back and check some other issues! But it just shows how well-received the system really was! And there in the same issue there was this news... NO! NO! STOP!!!! What are you guys doing?!?!? You're at the height of your game right now!!! STOP!!! This is going to bring an end to the ColecoVision! Plagued with problems!!! Focus your time on more games instead! You know....Rip Cord, Wizard of Wor, Dracula!!! Stoppppppp!!! Ok, ok, I know that Adam didn't kill Coleco and I love my ADAM dearly, but you always have to wonder what would have happened had they not sunk so much money into the ADAM or at least didn't try to rush it to market. Seeing in the same issue that Coleco was not only topping the charts and well on their way to being the most popular gaming system and then seeing "ADAM Unveiled..." it just sort of makes your stomach sink just a little bit because that old saying "If you only knew then what you know now..." Anyway, just wanted to share this! I love looking through these old magazines! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymiester Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I've also been having a blast reading through old magazines lately. The articles are very entertaining, especially when they take a look at "what the future may hold" I use RetroMags.com, the site helps me catch up on things I may have missed in the past. They have an excellent collection of old magazines available to Download. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I've been grabbing PDFs of Byte, Electronic Games, and a few others from Archive.org. If you drop them into Google Books, you can bookmark your progress and easily access them from anywhere, like from a tablet. It's so much fun to look back at this stuff. Especially the pricing. Everything was crap, but very very expensive! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy2600 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Today I got an awesome box in the mail from Collectorvision filled with all kinds of goodies, but first I'll focus on these amazing fan-made boxes that create "US Coleco" arcade game boxes for games that never had one. I love this!!! While I like the variety of boxes that are out there, I'll always have a soft spot for the arcade cabinet boxes since I grew up on these and most of the games I had as a kid were in this style. Take a look... cv_boxes1.jpg cv_boxes2.jpg cv_boxes3.jpg cv_boxes5.jpg cv_boxes6.jpg cv_boxes7.jpg I think my favorite thing is that when you put them side by side with the classic boxes, they totally fit right into the library: cv_boxes8.jpg I love that Collectorvision made these available, thank you! And kudos to Greg Off who apparently did the design (and he's a guy I used to work with when I was in the games business which just shows how small of a world this all is!) Now I just need to get some more loose carts to put into these boxes to make them more complete! Anyone know how I can get a one-off of Dig Dug or Pac-Man made? =) OH GOD I would kill to get some if not all of them box art for real^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 So it's been a little while since I last updated this thread. My wife and I have been having a house built for the past 7 months and just before Christmas we finally were able to move it! It was a great Christmas present for both of us since we had never owned a house before, and this was a completely new build that we were able to customize. I'll post a few pictures as soon as the game room is completely set up, but the first thing I made sure I did was get my Colecovision stuff put away and *somewhat* organized (ok, I admit, it's not really organized at all, but at least it's all in one place, which is better than it was before at the old house!) Anyway, on to a few pics of what I've got put together so far, and a few items I want to focus on.... So if you've followed this thread, you know that I finally was able to complete my "one of each officially released game" goal. And these pictures will show some of those carts and/or boxes. I'm also trying to get as many homebrews and cool re-productions as possible. Not everything I have is pictured, but it's probably a good 80%. Here goes.... We'll start with my shelves of homebrews and re-pros. Here we have the Pixelboy collection, which I *think* is a complete collection of all the traditional sized boxed games they made... Below that are many of the CollectorVision library with a few others as well... Next shelf down is a lot of re-productions and other one-off or stand-alone homebrews. (Don't worry, at some point I will figure out a way to organize them all better. Maybe alphabetical. Maybe by homebrewer. Haven't decided yet. Any ideas?) More re-productions and some of the officially released games I have. There are more boxed original releases not shown here, but this is probably my "favorites" of the lot. I'm probably not going to go for a complete collection of boxed released games as there are just quite a few that I don't really care about. I have the loose cart and that's good enough for me. More odds & ends. Some hardware, some CV press kits. Not sure how I ended up with 3 SGMs, but there they are! lol A few more games and some extras that I have that will actually end up going to some friends who are collecting but not quite as insane as I am! More random stuff with some juice boxes! Oddly enough, I've also ended up with three of those as well! I'm pretty much ready for any SGM apocalypse that might happen in Orlando! lol And here is my main Colecovision and Adam system. A few of my favorite accessories as well. I admit I play most of my Colecovision with Nintendo control pads! Everything is all hooked up and ready to play! Let's go to my big bin of loose games. Most of them are in there. I think (I hope!) all my Xonox Double Enders are still in a box in the closet. I'll get those out soon! Yup, lots of loose carts! Here's a few notable items that I just want to call out that came in over the last 6 weeks.... Holy cow! Light Grid Racing and Bomb Jack! Both are just.... AWESOME!!! I will be totally doing a review of them soon and these games are just more examples of why I love this homebrew community! First off, Bomb Jack is exactly... *EXACTLY* the quality of game I would expect when I was chomping at the bit for more arcade to home conversions as a 13 year old gaming dork in 1983. And I don't care if it's 33 years later, I'm just as happy to have it now as I would have then! Great job! Light Grid - WOW! What an AWESOME way to take one section of a hugely popular game and turn it into something fantastic! Both of these games, combined with titles like Boxxle, Mr. Turtle, Bagman, and many others that came out in 2015 just show how much passion there still is for this old clunker of a system! Truly amazing year for homebrews! I want to send a HUGE thank you out to Rey for helping me out with some Adam floppy disks. He answered the call and I'm happy that he did! Growing up I never had an Adam disk drive and this to me is just awesome! When I got the box of floppies in the mail I told him "I haven't been this happy to get a package full of 5 1/4 inch floppy disks in 25 years!" lol And it's totally true! Thanks, dude! What a crazy end to my year! It started having next to nothing other than a base Colecovision system and a few common carts to everything you see in these photos! And I have this community to thank for a HUGE portion of all of that! So thank you to everyone who has helped me out! More stuff coming soon once I get a little more settled into the new place! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarilovesyou Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Awesome thread, just happened upon it today! Similar stories as far as new retroware bringing me back into the game, although in my case it was the PS2 copy of Activision's Greatest Hits. Played it, loved it, picked it up for my Game Boy Advance, and that started my collection in earnest that I hadn't touched from the 80s. When I went back for the Coleco (my first system), I picked up all new expansion modules and a near mint system. And a multicart. I then did this for several other systems. I don't get too crazy with the physical copies of carts, but what I have I'm happy with. I wish I picked up a Vectrex over the years, but somehow didn't (three opportunities: in 91, 03, 13). I drool looking at your home arcade photos...of everything, that would have been the hardest one for me to accept, had I been in your shoes: selling it off. But I totally understand why...the least of which, the neverending maintenance! Great story, great updates. Glad you're enjoying the fun, all these years later. PS, very ballsy move with the location, unwrap, setup, rewrap/return, and Oscar-winning performance on Christmas Day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 I drool looking at your home arcade photos...of everything, that would have been the hardest one for me to accept, had I been in your shoes: selling it off. But I totally understand why...the least of which, the neverending maintenance! The maintenance wasn't actually too bad. I would try to fully restore one machine as much as I could before buying another one, so at the point that I had all of my games in one place, they were all in really good working condition. But it was hard to sell them off. With my new house and game room I've acquired two new machines. One multi-cade MAME machine with a Hyperspin front end that works just great, and then another vintage Donkey Kong machine that has been restored and I'm having an ArcadeSD put into it, but in such a way that doesn't destroy any of the original wiring or PCB's. I'll post pics of it all when I have everything together. although in my case it was the PS2 copy of Activision's Greatest Hits. Ha! Awesome. I worked at Activision when that title come out. In fact, the guy that produced it, I actually originally hired him when I was at Virgin years ago and gave him his start in the gaming industry! We are still friends. I'll have to let him know that his PS2 title encouraged another collector, as he is one himself as well! Small world! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Zaxxon looks amazing via the F18A RGB mod! ..and remarkably identical to MESS/MAME output when you have the tv effects turned off! In fact it looks to be near pixel for pixel in a side-by-side comparison. Impressive for a 30+ year old system to come up to modern standards and work on modern displays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 I just recently got for my new game room a couple of original sell sheet flyers for Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr from the original arcade games that were given to distributors to give to arcade outlets for new games that were made available. They are pretty cool! And even thought they aren't CV specific, I figured you guys might like to see them as Donkey Kong has a lot to do with the legacy of the ColecoVision. Enjoy!

+Yurkie Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Very cool. I have thought about buying these. They would look good on the wall behind by Donkey Kong cabinet. I put a switcher from Vectorlabs and have both the original DK and DKJ board sets installed in the cabinet. Hold down "Player 2 start" and press "jump" to switch board sets. Hold down "jump" and press "up" on joystick to insert coin. Here is vectorlabs website http://www.vector-labs.com/index_dk.html Here is a link with the switcher installed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8xm3qp9ULM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
