+groundtrooper Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 That is wicked cool! Would be nice if something could progress on the 7800. And this is coming from a guy that has a Concerto that is VERY Compatible with my 7800. Like 98% of the roms I drop on it work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DrVenkman Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Huh? Have you not wondered why the Concerto has driven Fred nuts and never been released formally? Do you not think Curt would’ve had the XM board designs done forever ago if the system was easy to work with? There’s also a reason guys like CPUwiz try to document every single tiny variation in board design and assembly - even down to which chips are socketed and which ones aren’t! The architecture is evidently quite a nightmare to design things to interface with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you not think Curt would’ve had the XM board designs done forever ago if the system was easy to work with?

BassGuitari Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 "The idea is to maintain the experience of the cartridge interface without having to keep stacks of cartridges around for all the games he wants to play." So he just wants to just remove and reinsert the same cartridge? (Or just leave the one cartridge in the system and never have to touch it, which removes the "experience" altogether?) Not following the logic here. re: 7800 hardware being all over the place, I've seen that firsthand. I have one system that throws some glitches and minor incompatibilities with some 2600 games (ex: getting stuck on the ceiling in Princess Rescue, making the game actually impossible at a certain point), and even some 7800 games (Tower Toppler freaks out and won't respond to any controller or button input; Player 2 magically jumps into the game in Xenophobe, even with no controller in jack #2). But then I got another system that, so far, seems perfectly fine. *shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Tower Toppler, the issue is likly the difficulty switch positions, the issue with Xenophobe is likely an issue with the TIA chip. Seen both of these before... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
