  1. Could you share the method of getting the bonus games back? Now if they could just get t upgraded to Stella 6...
  2. UPDATE: Never needed the driver. Simply had the D+ and D- wires reversed. ADB saw the unit immediately after rewiring. Loading games works perfectly! Thanks again for the tutorial..very easy to follow! I'd recommend the following tool to convert PNG files. Photoshop doesn't seem to want anything to do with 24-bit color depth as far as I can tell. Run any PNG through this and set it to 24 bit and it works great https://online-converting.com/image/convert2png/
  3. Hard wired a USB cable to it, and I wonder if you could help with a couple questions: 1) My cable has 4 wires: I assume Green is D- and White is D+, and in which hole does the black GND cable go? ID? YSS? 2) I'm using a Mac. Do you know if I can get these Rockchip Drivers for the Mac anywhere? I tried connecting with ADB and no luck yet. Thanks very much for you tutorial!
  4. Is there any way the community builds would be able to address the particularly finicky dumping process on this thing? I have a good dozen or so games (I'm looking at you, Activision games) that simply won't play, even though they work fine on a Heavy Sixer. It's not just Activision games. Also, the jittery paddles. Oy.
  5. I believe the console is fairly easy to crack open. I would't try to bend them back into shape through the cart slot, but that's just me. If the machine is open, accessing those pins should be easier and you can bend them back easier. BE WARNED, though, that if you do open it up, you're probably relinquishing your rights to get a replacement from Hyperkin, if you want to go that route. If you do fix it yourself and get it back in order, you may want to use a lubricant of some kind of those pins to help prevent this from happening again. There are some that are recommended for contacts like that, but unfortunately I don't know what they are. They've been recommended here several times.
  6. Not supposed to be that way.
  7. Yes, I have the same problem. I used my Flashback Paddles which are basically brand new and I get unacceptable jitter. This SHOULD be repairable with a firmware update, implementing a threshold of some kind. But yes, I dont think youre alone.
  8. I've been having so much trouble with Activision games on my Retron 77, like many others. My Kaboom! isn't playing nice which is a mega bummer. I cleaned this thing probably TOO much, and it's still not working. Are there techniques for getting the pins to "bite" tighter? I suspect the board thinness is to blame. Is anyone doing anything extreme like flowing solder onto the board connectors or anything else to try to expand the thickness? That seems like it wouldn't work well, but it's a thought. Wondering if anyone has found some reliable technique. I have been reading so many posts about Activision games and most of them just recommend cleaning and sometimes using abrasives to a lesser degree.
