Well I already built the circuit with the 3032 in it. But I can't actually get it to work well. All the options on Artmaster just flicker so at least I know the circuit is built right.

Well I built the pen finnaly and I just got to test it, unfortunatley when I put it up to the screen all the options flicker and I can't select. I fear I may have not put the board up far enough(phototransistor doesn't go into point but is almost their) Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

okay well I got the info I needed, from my science teacher and he said that the NTE3032 should work

well I don't think the trackball was officially made for the 2600, it's an accessory for Atari's computer line. It's like the Atari lightgun, was made for the XE computer, but has games for the 7800 and 2600, but no one took advantage of the trackball for the 2600

OMG!! How does someone let this happen? Hope you oppened up a dispute as soon as you opened that thing. How much did you pay for this?

Well hopefully I can just pick up the part, I really don't want to just pay 11 bucks for it when you include shipping.

I'm thinking it will work, but I just want to be sure as my only options from fry are it would be 11 dollars with shipping, or I have to go drive out to frys(about half an hour from where I am)and pick it up

Well I'm looking at the data sheets for the L14G3 and the NTE3032, and I have no idea if the NTE 3032 would work, if someone can please inform me soon that would be greatly appreciated as I want to get the order in to Frys for the part by 9:00 pm EST(it'll ship the same day then)

yeah I was looking for that NTE transistor, I'm thinking it does mean to be NTE3032 as it is a phototransistor(out of thousands of components I think it just makes sense) I found the cheapest at Frys but I really want to make sure it's similar to the L14G3 so can someone tell me (I'm really sorry it's just I haven't done this before and want to get this part as fast as possible.)

Well thanks Lgallair for sending the part, but the envelope was torn open and the part was gone when it got here today. So I could really use some help finding a similar part as this is my first project. I have the rest of the circuit built and I already got Artmaster, I'm in way to deep to not finish this thing now

That vectrex he has is way overpriced, it's worth about half of his asking price and it doesn't even come with the game for one of the overlays

About playvectrex, that's the circuit I'm building and I looked for the part they said also worked and couldn't find anything

Hi, I'm looking to see if anyone knows what part would work in the place of an L14G3 phototransistor in a circuit. The reason I'm asking is for the vectrex lightpen I'm building(I'm almost done I just haven't gotten the L14G3 from lgallair yet) however if I want to do this again then I'll need a replacement part as the L14G3 is apparently discontinued and marked obsolete on Mouser

Yeah on the Vectrex apparently pin 7 is +5v pin 8 is Gnd pin 4 is Button 4 or SW7

Well just took another look at the schematics and it says pins 7 +5v, pin 4 SW7, and pin 8 GND. I'm guessing this is just the configuration for a vectrex output

right now I think it's 5 Power: +5 Volts 7 Select signal(SW7 I'm guessing as it's pin 7 and what I'm making is a light pen 8 Power: Ground

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~chuck/infopg/segasix.txt and this

Can anyone tell me if this is accurate http://pinouts.ru/Game/genesiscontroller_pinout.shtml, I still need the pin numbers for the +5v, GND, & SW7

yes I'm making a vectrex light pen and I just need to know which wires which so I just need to find the pins of each and I'll test with a multimeter tommorow

Ok, I'll try that tommorow, I'm using an official sega 3 button pad. I know that +5V is pin 5 and GND is pin 4, so this might be a little stupid but what is SW7, pin 7?

Hey I just need to know what color the +5v, GND, & SW7 on a genesis controller are

yeah, those switchboxes are not really that great, just use a direct coaxial adapter and your problems will be solved most likley.

The only two auctions for artmaster I could find were these http://cgi.ebay.com/Art-Master-for-the-Vectrex-Arcade-System_W0QQitemZ310126615642QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Vintage_Video_Games?hash=item4834fc9c5a and http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-VECTREX-ART-MASTER-CART-INSTRUCTIONS-GUARANTEED_W0QQitemZ320198792107QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVideo_Games_Games?hash=item4a8d55d3ab Speaking of which if anyone has a copy they want to sell I would glady take it:)

yea I just found out that it's missing the wires I need, so now I'm just using a sega genesis controller

never mind I found out that atari joysticks don't have the wiring in them for what I need.
