Dreamcast Soul Caliber, totally incredible for a North American launch title, still looks good today. I always liked the Sypro games on the Psone too, but that was more a case of tailoring the game graphics to what the system did well and avoiding what it didn't.

Thanks. What's strange is that other ECS titles at least have the titlescreen come up without the ECS. This game just has a black screen. Doug Well my cart didn't work but it finished with a brown screen, not black. There was a quick flash of some graphical content. This was on an intv2. Also tried the shorting button that zaps Donkey Kong into working but no luck.

I'll give it a try at home tonight

You can do the inversion with an N-channel MOSFET and a single resistor, which wouldn't be too hard to hack on, though you do need to cut a trace. I'd rather go with a deadbug 7404 secured with superglue, but from experience, I know lots of people would have trouble getting either one right.

You can buy eprom boards at the AA store. Hacking an existing board is kind of a pain because the A12 signal needs inverting.

Make sure that new supply is DC output not AC. If not, you're asking for trouble, even if it works at first. EDIT: Also even if DC output, it might have some AC voltage leaking through which would explain the hum. Do you have a multimeter to check?

You should have said "Oh PAM you get me so hot. Once you have black, you never go back"

I never heard anything good about their quality either.

4052! Your post gave me major deja vu. I bought a Mr&Mrs Pacman pinball project machine last August on the cheap, and its one major problem (among many smaller ones) was that someone replaced a 4502 chip on the motherboard with a 4052. Dyslexics untie!

I really don't care about this war. Started out with a 360 and hd-dvd add-on last December because the exclusives on that side were the movies I liked better. And if the format lost, I still had a 360, not a bad deal at all. This month, I've been prowling the internet for a sweet PS3 bundle, almost pulled the trigger on a couple. If blu-ray loses, I'll still have a PS3 for gaming, also not a bad deal. Don't know why anyone cares about the format war, it all looks relatively cheap to me. My house has gone up $150k in value since I bought it, now there's a good chance it will drop $300k or more. That grabs my interest a lot more for some strange reason...

It's accurate enough for me, I found consoles in the wild at about that ratio.

Found Halloween at a flea market for a dollar or two. I guess it was worth it

Just give me an outlet with 120v at 60hz and I'm good to go. And I think those will be around awhile.

I remember that thread, it was a real trainwreck. In fact, when someone asked for T3K opinions on DigitalPress a couple months later, I posted a link to it and got flamed for not letting the negativity fade away. The poor Nuon, couldn't get a break on anything...

I read somewhere that the Jaguar was a bug on the Playstation's windshield. Cruel but funny Don't flame me, I love Protector.

Wow, I almost bought that, but was never too into boxes. Did you try peeling the stickers off? I drove up to their store in Antioch Ca a few times in the past, it's a fun trip.

Umm..... there's this private message thing on AtariAge. Works pretty good from what I hear. OK, enough sarcasm. From the top left going down: Cosmic Commuter (doesn't count, cart is non-functional in all systems, was expensive too) Frostbite Kung-Fu Master Commando 3 blue label activisons, duplicates of colored labels Imagic: fathom, atlantis, dragon fire, demon attack, firefighter, no escape, moonsweeper, laser gates, quick step, riddle of sphinx, shooting gallery, solar storm, star voyager, trick shot, cosmic ark. Parker Brothers: Amidar, Tutankham, SW arcade, Jedi Arena, Empire Strikes Back, Death Star Battle, Popeye, Reactor, Frogger, Super Cobra, Qbert. Gopher (on right). They all work, unless my original post said they didn't. Sorry for the delay, I don't check this forum to often. Lost interest in the FB2 when I found the incompatibilty issue. It was fun being the first consumer to cart-mod it though. I was home with a fever one weekend going stir crazy. By Sunday evening I felt good enough to go to Walmart and they had one FB2 left from the first shipment. Soldered up the cart slot after work Monday, still feverish and light-headed, determined to beat the other hardware geeks

Lab loaners for Defender and Realsports Volleyball are the best I've ever found in sunny Ca. The RV was simply labeled volleyball, so I thought it was an unknown proto the whole drive home, you wouldn't beleive how disappointing it was to see that sand and water pop up on my screen.

Separate keypad made out of a 2600 keyboard controller Stock 5200 controller -- replace all button contacts with microswitches Controller adapters (can be add-on or internal) 1. Genesis as mentioned 2. Jaguar 3. Vectrex 3. Wavebird Add-on a hinged 12v LCD on case for flip-up screen Shrink everything into a 2600 JR case (Kevin Horton's project) Graft on a 7800 system, put all I/O in parallel (my bad boy) Plus you can always have a "highest stack that still works" competition: 5200 sitting on tapeplayer + 2600 adapter + Supercharger vs Genesis 1 on SegaCD1 + 32X + Game Genie + Sonic&Knuckles + cart

Omnedon, the OSG guy, has been the moderator of the Restoration forum over at Digitpress for a few years now. So he's not going to disappear with your money and send one line emails about having personal problems the way so many others do. It's his full time job and his main business is repairing modern systems. I'd trust him.

Turmoil has a great echo effect when played in stereo.

Bloom County's my all time favorite strip (Dillbert seems too much like my real life, especially at work). "Hey Dad, did you hear about those corduroy pillowcases? They're making headlines"

Sorry, don't know how to describe it any simpler

If anyone is interested in a methodology change, I found the easiest way to do Atari AV mods was to skip using a board. Just clip the luma, chroma, and sync resistor leads short then solder them sticking straight up on the board. Then run the sync diode (unclipped on one side) to tie all the resistors together since they come to one point anyway. Then you just need to add the 3904, decoupling cap, and a couple more resistors onto the air circuit. Also if you want composite, don't tie the luma and chroma outputs together like the FAQ says, tie them together before the transistor. In case anyone would ask, I don't have any time to do this for hire. Working on a Mame cabinet and restoring a Mr&Mrs Pacman pinball machine.

About a third of F6 games use RAM, so those two really should be included together.
