David Alexander Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Most homebrew games don't need the SGM. None of my games needs it. Philipp Hi sorry to ask but were your games ever released on Roms so that people who were not in the scene at the time these came out can still play them today?

jblenkle Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 You had better keep close watch on this as pre-orders for the fourth run have been closed for awhile now. If I understand correctly, there may be a few additional ones available when they are actually produced, but there is no guarantee of this or how many might be available.

Ok thanks for the information. I contacted Opcode on his webpage just in case they may have an extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIAD Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Ok great to hear because I didnt have a CV at the time and now I am getting an Adam. Just so you know ahead of time... Coleco improperly tapped the sound on the Stand-Alone ADAM Computer (with ColecoVision built-in) when using the AUXILLARY PORT (7-pin DIN connector for Composite Video with Audio). For games that use the OPCODE SGM's sound chip, you will experience low volume output thru your TV/Monitor and this also applies to the Exp. Mod. #1 Atari Adapter. To correct this, you have to locate the wire coming from the AUXILLARY PORT that connect to a leg on the sound chip, remove it and resolder to the left leg of the capacitor at C88. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, thanks for the information. I have no solder skills so looks like I will have to ask my buddy Glen Planamento to help me with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 It's an easy fix. I have done two of my ADAMs and I have weak soldering skills. There is a video showing how (produced by Rey) on my web page at: http://www.sacnews.net/adamcomputer/downloads/videos.html Wow, thanks for the information.

NIAD Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) The video shows the wire being soldered to the right leg of C88. I don't know if it matters, but please follow the video. Edited September 29, 2017 by NIAD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I don't think it matters...I'm almost 100% sure I soldered mine to the left leg because I'm left handed and everything to the left is easier for me...but I'd have to open it up to check. The video shows the wire being soldered to the right leg of C88. I don't know if it matters, but please follow the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
