[妖怪屋敷 "Monster House"]

I am really enjoying this game, but could someone tell me how to beat the first boss? It's probably really simple, but everytime I get to it, I can only take a couple hits from his hair before dying. Not sure if I'm supposed to dodge the hair and attack with the beam or something else. A small spoiler would be helpful to get moving along in it. The instructions are very vague. Thanks

Again, very cool. I like a lot, including incorporating the shifter. Just out of curiosity, do you know how most of these pot based racing wheel pedals would interact with the fire button pin on the console?

 

never tried.... probably wont work gaz always on

[Refurbishing steering wheel controller with new electronics?]

ok rev 1 pcb are in so i tested with this steering wheel mod... the video is a little bit cappy since i was alone i will try to shoot a better one when my wife will be home... you can see the point everything is possible

 

[Refurbishing steering wheel controller with new electronics?]

Nice! This is a major breakthrough for the ColecoVision, as there are quite a few steering and paddle-type games out there!

 

Thanks for using your creative energy to support the ColecoVision!

 

I would love to see a PCB produced.

i made one with eagle i'm waiting for it... i dont put to much hope on the first rev since i'm not to good with this kind of stuff.. if it work i will share like i did with the parker brother pcb

[Refurbishing steering wheel controller with new electronics?]

ok here a little update .. i used an atari plug n play and installed a rotary encoder inside ... it works with 4 AA battery...

 

[Refurbishing steering wheel controller with new electronics?]

Okay, thanks.

i did a quick breadboard for the ic part and it works

Just curious. Is it possible to give a quick assessment of whether the driving controllers board components are common enough one could build a driving controller board with your device to put inside another racing wheel like a thrustmaster without cannibalizing an existing Colecovision driving module?

 

here the diagram...

 

http://www.le-grenier-informatique.fr/pages/la-collection-d-objets/colecovision-expansion-module-2.html

 

there is nothing you cant find

[Refurbishing steering wheel controller with new electronics?]

Pretty slick. Is this all in the box you are holding, or is it also wired to the board of the driving controller?

for the first test I only used the rotary encoder direct to the colecovision .. to be sure to not damage the colecovision controller chip i think i will use the steering wheel pcb desing...

[Refurbishing steering wheel controller with new electronics?]

Wow, this is great! I suppose your paddle controller requires outside power?

yes like the steering wheel

[Refurbishing steering wheel controller with new electronics?]

ok here a quick demo

 

[Refurbishing steering wheel controller with new electronics?]

i found a good rotary encoder with more cycle than the steering wheel and its small enough to build a paddle... this encoder have 90 pulse by rotation so more than the steering wheell 72 pulse by rotation and easy to find

 

here the resulte of the labscope test i will try to build a simple proto paddle and share result

 

[New power supplies for the ColecoVision?]

I recently dropped this one inside a CV:

http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=PT-45Avirtualkey63430000virtualkey709-PT45A

it's bigger in size but if it fit well inside the case it's a really good option since it's half the price of the cfm40

[New power supplies for the ColecoVision?]

Hello all!

My friend wanted to test the Colecovision he bought without the PSU. Didn't work and then we verified with my own machine (from which the PSU we used was on). And it didn't start either. So, maybe my PSU has died (haven't used it for a long time) or friends Colecovision broke my PSU

 

I measured the PSU and got only 10V from 12V line. All others seemed fine. I don't know, if I will bother to cut the PSU open and try to repair it (there seems to be a kit for this).

So I though to use an Jamma-PSU, very cheap from ebay. How much there is room inside CV? Smallest one I found was this (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Silver-Output-5V-12V-24V-7A-6A-2A-Switching-Power-Supply-For-Jamma-Arcade/263237080002?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649) and I was wondering, if it would fit inside CV. Seems to have enough current output and would be very easy to install otherwise...

i use this one for years inside my cv

[Opcode Pac-Man Collection on BlueMSX (Retropie)?]

there is no way to play sgm game with bluemsx the best you can achive its to play the sound chip of the sgm plus 24k ram

 

you cant emulate the lower 8k of ram

[Opcode Pac-Man Collection on BlueMSX (Retropie)?]

I can confirm that Kung-Fu Master works in CoolCV without issue.

you dump the game from the cart or you got the rom from collectorvision (Beta tester) cause on the cart the decoding is not the same as the others 128k game so the dump dont work properly... or you have to open the cart dump the chip and than edit the file to change the banck switching address....after that it will work on atarimax and coolcv...

 

or they release 2 version of the game?

[Opcode Pac-Man Collection on BlueMSX (Retropie)?]

hummmm so far the only game that can't be dump are gradius peinguin adventure and kung fu master.... if you have problem with other game its bad dump...

[frontline without the super action controllers]

there is the standard controller edition by team pixelboy

[Colecovision issue]

seems to be a bad vram chip..dont put game in turn the coleco on and compare to repaire manual to find the bad vram chip...

 

 

http://www.colecovisionzone.com/photos/coleco/colecovision%20tech8.pdf

[Refurbishing steering wheel controller with new electronics?]

as you can see my english is not really good

 

so if you look at the diagram the transistor are on off switch for the 6v batt... when the coleco is on the orange wire is high so transistor let the power from the battery pass trough... the coleco need both signal on purple and white wire its the way he knows if you turn left or right... my goal is more to have a padle than a steering wheel but both project could be achive at the same time... the only thing we need its a small rotary encoder with enough complet cycle in one rotation... it should be easier in the steering wheel project since you have more space to work...you can use gear to change the ratio and have more complet cycle in one complet rotation

[Refurbishing steering wheel controller with new electronics?]

ok today i did more test so to work properly we need external power Source to have a stable signal...

 

with out power source it work with turbo but very bad with game like mindwall...

 

i found a little doubler pcb on ebay now its waiting game...

[Refurbishing steering wheel controller with new electronics?]

The module 2 driving controller has 40 ppr on the outer row and another 40ppr from the inner row, 90deg out-of-phase (80 total?). What does the one you used have, it looks like 30, but is that 30 or 30x2, including both phases?

 

30

[Refurbishing steering wheel controller with new electronics?]

Would something like these optical rotary encoders work?

 

http://www.beisensors.com/customer-resources/incremental-encoder-vs-absolute-optical-encoder.html

http://www.newark.com/bourns/em14a0d-b28-l064s/optical-encoder/dp/58K1354

i use those little rotary encoder in my video

 

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/171906808593

 

the problem is the number of pulse in one rotation

 

this is why i need a doubler circuit and a way to be sure to not fry the fragile cv controller chip...

[Refurbishing steering wheel controller with new electronics?]

Nice! Looks like it works fine to me.. problem solved, at least in a miniature form. That would be perfect for a mini steering wheel controller, just like the Overdrive or Vectrosis Vectrex controller made by Fury.

i dont really know how the vetrecx controller works but if it use digital pulse like this

 

maybe it could be rewired to work with the colecovision

[Refurbishing steering wheel controller with new electronics?]

I'm sure something like this could be done, I don't see why not. There's got to be a modern solution for the steering wheel.

By the way, the video above is private.. Currently unable to view it.

try this link should work now

[Refurbishing steering wheel controller with new electronics?]

last year i was working on a padle project and i let the project down since i dont have time to work on this... i know i have nice hand😉

 

 

this little pcb with dual reluctor work with out any power source but since it so little my plan was to make a signal multiplier circuit but this pcb will need a external power... i think guys like dave,brian or harvey could build it in no time
