[Four-port or Two-port: Which should I video mod?]

11 hours ago, -^CrossBow^- said:

Probably the 4port as the 4050 chip is most likely in a socket making it easier to do the AV install. I use the same install process regardless but then again, I remove the original sockets on 4port units because they are single wipe and not the best and solder the 4050 directly to the board. Then solder the UAV (Assuming you are using a UAV that is) to the top of the 4050 and run the wiring out for the AV connections there.

 

But either model will give you the same results.

 

Wouldn't this mean also power modding the 4 port?

I´m one of the seller from venezuela and I can tell that this is not true, we never have a electronics reciclyn industry. Those games were bought after the crash at very ow prices for the intention of selling them, but the market was not big enough for the market and newer consoles were more popular. 

well I have somebody in Venezuela to thank for filling in all the holes in my 2600 red label collection. Definately seem to be MANY copies of Ikari Warriors floating around down there

Knowing I didn't miss this one makes missing out on the Dragons Lair for TI994a a little more bearable.

Lol, bring it on, nothing teaches like shame

[Saving basic programs to cassette?]

So yep, user error. Wasn't pressing both buttons. Successfully saving files now. Thanks everyone for helping a noob.

On most recorders, yes.  Some will pull PLAY down with RECORD when pressed alone.  I have seen some which have the RECORD button as a post embedded into PLAY.

i suspect this may have been the issue, will test in a bit when i get some free time.

 

[Saving basic programs to cassette?]

Possibly a dumb question, but when the computer prompts me to press record, am I supposed to press Play AND Record?

I would verify that the cable is emitting a small voltage over the REM port's tip and lead, and that it goes low when you step through the saving routine.

alright, ill try that tonight, as ive tried two different TI data recorders and gotten the same thing. is it possible the TI isnt putting out the signal?

What kind of tape recorder are you using?  If it is not a TI recorder and you have the REMote connected, the remote control could be reversed polarity to the TI's output.

Using a TI brand data recorder.

Make sure the REM lead is connected to the cassette player.  This stands for REMOTE and it allows the computer to control the motor.

Yeah I'll have to reseat the connections and try again.

[Saving basic programs to cassette?]

cassette? There a trick to it? I've got a NOS tape drive that I've loaded files with before, but when I try to save a file and go through the prompts, I hit the record button but the gears don't move.

[Replacement labels for Funware carts?]

That looks real sharp! Well done.

 

Can you tell me the process you do to get the labels. Do you have to resize the sticker images before uploading them to Stickeryou.com ?

 

Yes like Ksarul said, it was just a matter of loading the file into their interface, and just measuring. What label do you need? I only put one of each on my sheet, but they auto filled it and now I have multiple copies of these.

Welcome and congrats @clh333!

 

Here a thread that shows and talks about the "ingot" power supply that @kenames99 and @tep392 had mentioned:  Ingot Power Supply --> Garbage Can?

 

And there are no stupid questions! A lot of members here are very knowledgeable with the systems and as you already seen, glad to help out. 

 

Well, learn something new everyday. Off to shop for a new power supply, guess I've just been lucky so far.

Main one I'm really trying to get a hold of right now is Frogger, but am also interested in most of the Funware releases or other hard to find 3rd party carts.

[Do C64 and C128 share the same AV cable out?]

33 minutes ago, brain said:

Yes... and no....

 

Early 64s used a 5 pin AV cable.  Later ones and all 128s used an 8 pin AV cable.  I believe the 5 pin will also work in the 128, so both should work fine.

Ah so either way I should've had audio. Probably the bad caps or the Audio Chip then I suppose.
