    Anybody have an extra working spare 1200XL with 1050

    As per usual, I must ask your location. It's not that we don't all love you folks living in Ice Station Zero, just I'd be more likely to respond if you are down the street.

    The UAV doesn't require removing any components from the main board far as I know. I know it doesn't require it on the 7800 or 5200. I believe you just have to tap the needed LUM and sync signals off the main board and feed them to the UAV. It has its own encoder to output separately. Can even keep the RF intact and working that way if you wanted.

    It was fairly straightforward, although I had to bypass their color signal and attach directly to the motherboard, as seen here on the bottom. I'm assuming it doesn't really make a difference.  Any ideas from where to tap audio?

    I'm Googled out... does anyone know of a video mod for 2600's that does not require removal/cutting of existing components? I'm imagining a circuit board that plugs into the Tia Maria chip and intercepts the video while simply not continuing the output to the existing modulator circuitry.

    Does anyone know how to run NSML on a Powerpak? All I see is the title screen, which locks up. I also tried a Dr. Professor II, but the rom is too big for one floppy and I'm not sure how they split to multiple disks.

     

    (EDIT) This message was referring to running it on an original Super Famicom, I just tried the same Powerpak on a Hyperkin handheld and Super Mario Land ran OK.  So, NSML is OK on clones but not on original hardware.

    I've been trying to get my new Gotek to work in my 1040STF, but I haven't had any success no matter what I've tried and I'm beginning to believe that the floppy controller chip in my ST has failed in some way. Does anyone happen to have a spare WD1772 chip that they'd be willing to sell?

    I'm in the same boat, did you try reading and writing a regular floppy before installing the Gotek? I think a different FDC might not solve the issue.

    Any link to a CDi burning guide would be appreciated

    I should have specified "on a modern Mojave Mac". I was using Toast, but that app recently died of 32-bitness.  

     

    BTW, this darn Sony thing is fully portable (uses a camcorder battery,) color, and pretty advanced for something that came out within a year of the original GameBoy.

    A recapping nightmare, with perhaps three dozen surface mounted barrel caps, some having only a millimeter or two clearance, i resorted to adding about three millimeters to each boss, so that the lowest circuit board could breathe a little.

     

    I need to source a better screen, as the oem one has gone the way of the washed-out nineties screens, since there is already a composite output i can probably find a back-up camera screen.

     

    Any link to a CDi burning guide would be appreciated. I tried making a Hotel Mario disc, but although it is recognized and starts, it quits to a “dirty disk” message soon after.
