  1. Coleco Smurf Rescue doesn't work. It starts but the display is messed up. This is the same behavior as the Retron77. I feel disappointed and kind of angry as I specifically looked for this game on the compatibility list and it says PASSED. I then preordered the 2600+. It's my favorite game. I would not have spent the money on this device if I saw it was untested or failed on the compatibility list. Not feeling great about supporting anything else from this new Atari.
  2. I have removed the chip and replaced it with a socket on a standard game cart. Wrote HDB-DOS on chips for the various coco versions so they would work properly with drivewire. Still have them somewhere and they worked just fine.
  3. I'm not sure how anyone can play the R77. Admittedly my version of Stella might be a couple years old, because I put it back in the box about that long ago... The R77 has input lag that makes it unbearable to me. I thought it was the TV at first. Then I realized it was the R77 as everything else I've hooked up to the same TV works flawless. 🤔
  4. Anyone have trouble with the fire buttons? They work, but need to be pressed on center of the button and kinda harder than I'd like. Or at least than I'm used to... I replaced the carbon traced mylars in a Taiwan made controller (low boot) that came boxed with my * 4 port. It's not a glossy four port, rather matte like a two port. The controllers didn't work at all and this kit fixed one up nice. I did notice the button issue though. I've glued foil dots to other controllers over the years. Never really noticed this before..
  5. Without reading 105 pages.... Is there a way to order this cart, or get on a list for when it is available? I found, of course, this page LTO Flash! Intellivision Multicart (leftturnonly.info) Info there is almost 3 years old. I'd love to purchase one. Thank you.
  6. Nice. You can use the Spectral RGB software too. It works with most games you can LOADM and EXEC. RGB Patch (colorcomputerarchive.com)
  7. Both my brother and I purchased an Turbo Everdrive Pro from Krikzz. We are having different experiences with them. I'm wondering how others are finding the device. Hucards seems to work fine. CD support is working although audio sync is way off. I can only get CD audio from my PC Engine using the AV booster. TG-16 using a Chinese sold AV booster with RGB and the Genesis 2 port will not produce CD audio. I'm guessing a real Turbo Booster would work, I don't have one. Using it as a Super System / Arcade card on the TG-CD or PCE-Briefcase works but I've had random lockups in 3X3 eyes and Saphire. When I switch to the real Arcade card there are no lockups. My Bros card is not so good. He has all the same issues but there are parts in some CD games where it just crashes back to menu. As an example Ys after beating the 1st book. Instead of the cool cut scene, it crashes. Problem confirmed as his card as we've tested between are two cards, sd cards, and different hardware. He is using a supergrafx and that does produce audio from the DIN. I'm guessing the supergrafx and core have the booster built in. Wondering how others are finding the Everdrive Pro.
  8. Wow, old thread.... This problem recently showed up again. This time was on my IIgs. Some games like Thexder and Silpheed would not go in the down direction using my CH stick. Thanks to the nice people over in the Apple IIgs Enthusiasts group on Facebook I fixed the problem. The problem is a weak, aging potentiometer. Soldering a 4.7nf capacitor between the pot connections does the trick. I recommend anyone having trouble with a CH stick not hitting the max values try this. Also, the Mecc Computer Inspector has a great utility to read joystick values. Hey look at that. Only took 9 years to find out!!
  9. That looks like the game is PAL or switches to 50Hz mode. (or 60Hz if the Ste is PAL region) This is why I'm glad to have two SC1224 monitors as they have no problem with 50Hz or 60Hz.
  10. Great Semi-graphics game! I highly recommend it.
  11. Thank you. I ordered one to replace the very old 512k upgrade purchased way back in the 80s.
