  1. Any chance you're doing trades? I won't have the cash for it until next month. If it's still here I would definitely buy it.
  2. Thank you for posting. I'm not much into GameCube these days but even hearing about this being preserved and available for people to check out it's so great to hear. It's also so awesome with the number of prototypes turning up across the board these days.
  3. Buy some freezer spray. Spray the chips while it's being used and see if it helps at work properly again for a short time. Once you figure out which one it is it's an easy replacement at that point for most of them.
  4. How much are you asking for for the Jump Bug CIB and Super Gobbler
  5. Un-dumped I'm guessing as well. Hopefully the buyer will come through and get it preserved. Too many games were found and lost again.
  6. So is this the copy that just made its way to eBay for $10,000?
  7. I basically get horizontal RF noise through it even though it's on composite input. It seems to be the capacitors getting worn out. I am getting the jitter on most games that support analog controllers. It did it on arkanoid and now Polaris. Does anybody know what causes that? Also if the ram is failing will upgrading it to a 512 k RAM upgrade fix the bad ram or is there additional RAM chips besides that upgrade that have to be replaced? Once again I have plenty of good at soldering equipment I do a lot of repairs on game systems but I have no experience with the TRS-80 or troubleshooting with it. This is where I will need the advice from.
  8. So hopefully threadjacking is better than a new thread. I have some issues with my Coco 3 as well. I have no problem doing repairs but am not great at diagnosis so here goes with the questions. I've played a few different games just today, haven't used the computer in a year or two before this and noticed that sometimes games boot in black and white. It happened with Skiing, a Coco 1 game and then had color after a few resets. Robocop is always black and white and I played Arkanoid and any letter M is corrupted in the game. Also what's with Arkanoid having a jittery Vaus no matter what joystick I use? The video is also ripply, is this bad capacitors? I can do the caps no problem if so. Are the other issues bad ram? If so is it best to replace all and I also want to upgrade to 512k for sure. Any help is appreciated.
  9. I do have to say that it was a really nice write-up. This looks like it would have a really nice title had it been released and a worthwhile piece for any game library. It was probably just abandoned during the crash. On a side note, the sheer number of unreleased to try 2600 games discovered in the last 12 months or so has really been encouraging and exciting. Hopefully more stuff will continue to turn up.
  10. If you have one available for trade or sale let me know. I've been playing the original and I love it and now I'm looking for the Gold edition since it has so much bonus content in it.
  11. Listen to the sound effects of Strategy X and tell me if they're not the worst
  12. Maybe if you have it next month. I've obligated myself to some purchases from friends this month.
