i know this is an old question, so trying to load extended basic with the tipi32k it locks up (unless pi is installed and booted). is the only workaround disabling / removing the eprom? i know extended basic works fine with the old sidecar 32k and tipi combo. any info is appreciated, thanks! ...mike

wasn't sure where to post this question. trying to find the value of Q1 crystal. the schematics nor the bom specify it's value. originally found on github from https://github.com/grantbreaksthings/TinyTari any help is appreciated! mike

thanks

i've seen where the tipi32k can be used as 32k mem board with rom removed. i've built one but its not seeing the 32k ram at all in memory tests. tested my srams in a standard 32k board and works fine. does the tipi32k need external power to just use the board as 32k memory? thanks!

fixing to build one here shortly. have all components now. //kneehighspy

great following this, please let us know when these are available for purchase, definitely want a couple. //kneehighspy

awesome to see your progress on this @ralphb

quick question, i have built a couple of the carts and they seem to only boot to the blue 'ready' prompt as if the carts aren't being recognized. after programming, i do get led flashing, but it's as if the carts aren't being seen by the 800xl. any ideas or suggestions are appreciated! thanks, kneehighspy

not sure if you are still having your white screen issue, i had the exact same thing happen, double checked everything. turns out i flashed the wrong screen controller firmware to the unit, once corrected, it worked properly. edit: just re-read your post, don't think this is your issue, just ignore

is the problem with the cart not being recognized in some veccys due to ncart signal issues?

personally I find it utterly rediculous that some 'percieved copyright / trademark' holder comes into a scene that has kept alive a product that hasn't been produced or sold for over 30yrs. kept alive by folks such as opcode and other game / content creators, not out of the want to make a fortune, but by the products they create out of love for the colecovision and all they ask for is a small cost to recoupe for their time and their out of pocket expenses. in comes this supposed owner / holder smelling perhaps a way to line their pockets with cash from the time and hard work of the actual creators who do what they do out of love, and this 'owner' can just waltz in and make profits without even doing one ounce of development or anything at all. just trying to cash in by taking ownership of a defunct / dead brand name and claiming rights of the hard work of others. i have been a fan of the colecovision since i purchased my first one back when it first launched in the early 80s and thanks to the hard work of opcode and the other developers, I can still purchase new hardware and software. but now all of a sudden, the 'real' coleco waltzes in and starts slapping their cuck into the faces of the true developers, supporters and fans demanding takedowns and their fair share of the monies being made and all they have done is claim the name of a dead product from 30yrs ago? the classic gaming and vintage computer scene was such a great scene, but the last few years things have changed dramatically and the scene that was once great enjoyment has been replaced by money hungry vultures who want to screw anyone they can out of the most money they can get by the least amount of work as possible. damn shame that our hobby gets invaded by lowlifes wanting to screw anyone they can out of their sheer greed and laziness. //kneehighspy
