HA! I was going to delete this, glad I did not. THOSE INSTRUCTIONS SUCK ( which, after much frustration, I re-wrote ), and you don't always get the exact parts stated. In fact, at Eightbitfix I'm staring at the mod right now. Sometimes after the mod, there is NO COLOR. There is a jumper you can run underneath to correct this. I found it by giving up, coming back later, and my finger bridged a circuit ( yes it was on ) and I got color. I think it might also work as a color boost in some cases. The color Pot will have to be adjusted. I can pull the board out and take a pic of the Jeff Popp mod and a pic of my augmentation of it. No Haters please. Glad I could possibly help. Paul

Please let said game have good sound.

Well if I need one, I will get one. Let me know.

I have pre paid my PRGE rent. I will proudly display such a demo!

Never seen this. Could you post pictures please?

Well I'm certainly glad I sold you that 1mb 800xl for development. Amazing work, Vlad. Thanks for all the time you have put in.

Looks great. Just try to do better than average sound work. I have been bugging Peter Meyer about his sound work too.

I think Venture for the 7800 could be your best work yet. Tune it well.

FYI - when you put in the ram chips ( not sure why he sold you 256k rams ), put one side kinda in there and slightly bend the other side to go in with your fingers, then pop it in. Notch on chip to the left, all chips same direction. Make sure all feet are in. New ram chips go in hard. Eightbitfix.com

It's the ram. Looks like the ram is socketed, so it will be a snap. Best Electronics. EASY. Just take care in putting the new ones in.

It helps quite a bit when it sits proudly on their shelf.

I have a brand new on in the box should you need it. Eightbitfix.com < it may not be listed >

The Best Electronics mod is time consuming, but works well.

I got an email containing this post. Retrieved said email on phone on my way home from work. Blown away.

Thanks Tezz!

Open it up and start messing around. A card could be out of it's place.

Atarileaf, use the full editor and upload it here.

Probably the Mylar. It could possibly be repaired. A good cleaning might do it. Other things to check: pokey, pia, two 4051 keyboard multiplexors. Buy it if its made in Hong Kong.

Please post a pic of power supply

I want 5 please.

Ram is most likely bad. run the ram test. where was it made? Hong Kong or Taiwan?

OK maybe I should have said BETTER, Mr. ZylonBane. I shall choose my words more carefully next time, as I have re-realized the scrutiny they are under. Thanks for the Atariage posting reminder. It is appreciated.

I would like solid colors, please. Speech ( or his #@$! ) None of that shaded crap. Arcade perfect Qbert can be done.

Just replace the two chip ram, available from best electronics. I can almost guarantee you they are MT ( Micron Technology ) ram. The ram won't reset; it acts like statics ram, or just bits of it won't work at all.. The motherboards are cheap so take care in desoldering them because it's easy to pull up a trace and pad. I use a Hakko. Can you post a pic of your power supply please?
