Geez, sorry, wrong group. Getting old.

Sorry, I just wrote an elaborate and eloquent post, then realized in my burgeoning senility that this is the wrong forum and erased it all. So... uhm, how's your Vextrex doing? Here's mine. Does anyone think an updated PiTrex image will ever be released?

PRGE 2023 Finds - What'd Y'all get?
towmater replied to Zonie's topic in 2023 Portland Retro Gaming Expo
I bought an $80 Virtual Boy at PRGE and modded it for HDMI display. By putting the VGA output jacks under the removable cart slot cover the VB remains pristine, so when used standalone, the cover hides the modifications. (I did both screens in. the hopes of finding a way to display stereo HDMI) -
Well now that this "bit code" solution has been released, (I have a Sophia and love it BTW) I would like to see a latency test between the two HDMI/DVI products.

Can you help troubleshoot this Aquarius RGB mod?
towmater replied to towmater's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
You can kind of see it at the bottom of the picture... that is an INTV board, isn't it? I can't remember for certain. -
Can you help troubleshoot this Aquarius RGB mod?
towmater replied to towmater's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
Thanks for the insight. I ended up removing the modulator, then tying the old channel switch to ground the sync-on-green pin as needed. By toggling this a few times, I can find a good un-split sync position. -
I Finally cleaned up the Sophia RGB install in my A130XE
towmater replied to CraigsBar's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
I can't see what you've done, although I'd state that hanging it out the back is the proper mounting method. -
This seems to be a series of easily overcomable objections. Adam has a superflous second composite out. Expansion1 has CV on pin 33. At most the need is for a simple 3904 amp circuit if pin 33's signal is too weak for monitors to read.

Can you help troubleshoot this Aquarius RGB mod?
towmater posted a topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
I'm using the Crayon King's RGB board, which I think was actually meant for the Intellivision, but works (almost) perfectly with the Aquarius, except the vertical sync. I can basically short the sync-on-green jumpr to force a random vertical sync position, but there ought to be a correct way to do this? At top is HDMI, Bottom is correct RF display. -
3D Printed Housing for Intellivision II ?
towmater replied to First Spear's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
Look at the Revopoint scanner, and I guess there's good feedback on Skectchup and Autodesk... something something, for modeling, if you don't have access to Solidworks or other production oriented solid modelers. Here is the "finished" portable illustrated above. llust -

System Changer Video Out Mod Instructions?

People still use forums? This really is retro. But seriously folks, what are we talking about here? -
Another run of Vic-20 Final Expansion possible
towmater replied to S.D.W.'s topic in Commodore 8-bit Computers
I'm late to the party... Everything seems to work in my FE3, but not the SD2IEC functions. I thought perhaps I needed firmware on the SD card, but SkyDiverGirl's github has about twenty different firmwares for the SD card function (including, for example, "PetSD" firmware FSR.) So, I'm wondering which is the "right" firmware to put on the SD, if I haven't already fubar'ed it by feeding it the wrong firmware. So ultimately pressing F3 on the Final Expansion menu does nothing, but everything else seems OK. -

Is there a multi cart for this enigma?

I recommend an RGB2HDMI, although you'll have to do some wiring to the serial monitor signals on the 15-pin connector.
