Iraki Warriors, but with better graphics and control than Frontline

I have componet video today and on some games like Gorf and Galaxian the games look great and nice and bright, but then say 1/2 way through the first level the screen turns darkish. Game is still playable, but I was hoping native VGA would not have this issue. Have you played either of those games? Other games don't have an issue, just these two (so far) with component.

Order via Matt?

did the Colecovision VGA card ever come out?

a 160hm resistor in series off the the +5V line should be fine. Power draw would be that of the total load as its in series, so led + resistor. The switches I looked at are led based and some have the resistor built in. The switches Double Down appears to have ordered are all not in stock at Digikey, but they are orderable, so just have to wait longer.

so how is the SGM beta going?

LB25RKW01-5D24-JD, these NKKs have the dust covers too So I'm thinking they are it

That would be great. I see some NKKs at Digikey that are: Cutout for 1 switch: .638” x .882” (16.2mm x 22.4mm) Cutout for 1 switch with barriers: .638” x 1.059” (16.2mm x 26.9mm) http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/LB25RKW01-5F-JF/360-2043-ND/1007100 I'm thinking these might have been the ones used.

niad, thanks for the pics. I saw that old thread, but as you indicate no part numbers .

Is there a list of SGM enhanced games that will be released around the SGM's release date?

is this game orderable?

5v is there, so a led and resistor should do it. I was just thinking if there was a 1 inch (25mm) x 5/8 (16mm) led illuminated DPDT (or DPST) switch it might look cleaner.

I've been thinking about adding a power led to the CV or a new illuminated power switch. Any recommendations?

Rather than white will you have a blue or gray shirt? Large logo is contrasting color is good. Color is neat too.

to see the progress with this is amazing. great work

could this new pcb support two modes, classic CV or SGM mode, and then a new CV2 mode with a faster CPU

Does someone sell a kit for 12 sec or press fire button bios. Kit would have pre-programmed bios and socket. Also pause button kit that also pauses the audio too?

ok, np by the way $180 for the aracde quality controller (complete pre-built ones) is a great deal. The amount of effort that must have went into it is incredible.

Very cool.

ok, so looks like I reflowed a z80 and a bios, either way all is good

when will the kit ship and how much ?

will kit contain internal componets only (pcb, wiring)? or keypad, joystick, controller, case, cable, stickers, etc as well?

talk about great free support re-flowed those VDP and Z80 pins and bingo it was perfect. One thing I was wondering is whats the IC with the heat sink on the right hand side? Is that the bios or something else?

Any plans to do a re-release? I missed out on this.

Thank you. CV is back working. Hopefully it last 30 more years this way
