Have this rare unlicensed Lord of the Rings game for Gameboy I'm trying to sell, can not find much information about it online, it has a different title screen than what I seen before. Link to auction on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/334643032253

Some games have been sold, so I updated the photo of the first post!

Got one of these in the mail today, and I was a bit disappointed with it unfortunatley, the cables are kinda short like I saw CrossBow also said. The Colecovision is like meant to have on a table right in front of you, not sitting under your TV when you play it, since the controller wires are so short, so yeah, it's kinda annoying the wires on the power supply are so short and don't reach. And also another problem is that I noticed some slight video interference when using it, which is not present when I tried a original power supply. So I can not really recomend these too much... It's nice tho that it's not as bulky as the original, but yeah, it's a shame it was not as good as I was hoping for.

Thanks a lot! I will try it out!

Wow! Nice, seems to turn out pretty good!

Sounds nice if you got one you can send if I just pay shipping! How much may the postage to sweden cost? like the chepest option available with like just a stamp or something? And do you have PayPal? And yeah I also got a 3D printer, and wow! was just writing the reply and saw you posted pictures of the 3D files also now great work! maybe I can try just printing one and see how that goes! But yeah if you know the postage cost for the original it would be nice to know!

Maybe, how much would you sell it for including shipping to Sweden? I kinda thought of doing another solution instead and replace the whole button.

I updated the first post with new games!

Yeah I noticed the socket for the AC/DC adapter was to small to fit an Atari 2600 power supply, but I hooked it up with crocodile clips directly to the PCB when I took it apart. Hm... maybe I should try it with batteries and see if it makes any difference then, had not been able to test it yet, the plastic thing that holds the batteries in place was broken, but yeah, will probably be able to just tape it together for a quick test and see what happens, and hope I have some good batteries to test with, not sure I have any good ones at the moment unfortunatley, but I see, thanks for the tip!

Bump.

Hm, yeah I tested it with an original Atari 2600 AC adapter, which uses 9v, so should work right. And okay, hm..., not sure what to think XD It seems a bit strange behavior I think tho, hope someone else has the same hockey pong model and can maybe comprare maybe! would be nice to know! And yes, now that you say it, thought that version was strange that one player has an extra paddle, cus yeah my otehr AY chip bassed pong consoles don't have that mode!

I uploaded a video of my problem here now, so yeah this happens even with a new pot attached, so there is no difference with a new one or an old one. And I also have a photo of the circuit board, the components marked with green did I replace already, and it made no difference.

I got an Atari Hockey Pong PAL console that works fine, except that both left and right paddles SLIGHTLY like crawls up and down constantly, even when the controllers are untouched, so they never stand still. And yes, I cleaned the pots, and it made no difference, and I also tested to hook up a new and unused pot, but still no difference. I also replaced a 100uf cap, a 4.7uf cap, and also some cheramic disc caps nubered 68, 102 and 104, but still no difference. There are a few more mylar and ceramic caps on the board, but yeah not sure if this will make any difference replacing any more parts, and I don't have replacments for those at the moment. Hope someone here might know what's causing this problem!

I seen this diagram of how to wire a SCART cable for Mega Drive 1/Master System, and I guess this is like the "proper" way to make one? But I have a SCART cable that I use for my Sega Mega Drive and I opened up the SCART connector and it did only have the 180ohm resistor it seemd and no other resistors and no capacitors at all, so just wondering, is it a good idea to solder some in? I already got the parts to do that so. But the cable works without them tho, so what is the difference? What are the resistors and capacitors really needed for? Is it bad to use the console without them? I also have a Sega Master System 2 that I RGB modded, and I need a cable for that also so I don't have to swap cables between Mega Drive and Master system, so I thought about making my own since I have some old SCART connector and stuff laying around, and the cable I'm gonna use is shielded, should ground and the shielding be connected? Or should shielding be separate?

I took apart my Colecovision last year cus I was going to AV mod it but never got around doing it until now, but now I can't for the life of me find the cap that should sit on the power switch... You can see in the photos which part I mean. Hope someone may have a spare one laying around, thanks!
