In Topic: Flashcart and Multicart List - All systems

Yesterday, 8:01 PM

Dragon 32, 64 and the CoCo 1, 2:
  • Prototype:  multi-load cart: There are several pre-production prototypes in existence which are out with testers. Hopefully at some point in the not too distant future the creator will finish the firmware and they'll go into proper production. Works with Dragon 32, 64 and the CoCo 1, 2 (Dos emulation not supported on the CoCo yet), also not tested on the CoCo 3.

Cassette WAV files: There are still many older computers which do not have (and probably never will have) multicart devices made for them. In some cases WAV files are available containing exact audio of cassette games which can be loaded using a PC by connecting to the PCs sound card. This is not always practical and there are some smaller MP3 players which support WAV files without converting them to MP3 or other compressed formats. One such device (which I have had success with) is the MPMAN MP101 with volume levels around 20 (this does vary from computer to computer) and also takes Micro-SD cards up to 16GB (possibly larger sizes too) - be wary that some portable audio MP3 devices may try and covert WAV files to MP3 or just not support the WAV format. If the computer has a integrated cassette unit or a special cassette unit with special connector then a Car Cassette Adaptor can be used to make this work. In most cases copying WAV files to audio CDs will NOT work as CDs contain error correction (https://en.wikipedia...rror_correction) which result in inacurate data being played and MP3 files, MiniDisc and other compressed formats are also unlikly to work because of this.

Coleco Adam:
  • IDE Card Accessories: includes ADAM formatted compact flash card. Also requires the IDE "hard drive" card. Needs a boot ddp or boot disk to load. A cassette is included but a file on the Atarimax Colecovision Ultimate SD Multicart can also be used, with more information at: http://atariage.com/...rface-for-adam/

In Topic: Arcadia 2001 Multicart - 2011 version - any interest?

Sorry for posting this here - I created a thread but had to replies and thought someone reading this thread might be kind enough to help out. Does anyone know the PSU specs for the Arcadia 2001 (Voltage (DC 9V?), Polarity, Ampage). I have a GiG Leonardo with no PSU, and am guessing the power requirements will be the same as the USA system.

The one I have seen is being sold by vfds.com

Does anyone know if they are the same company or related?
