    That's a cool idea^^ But personally I keep my own multicard loose with the system. You see, I did similar other Odyssey stuff, all these are all lose anyways. So for me personally It makes no big difference =) Also the Ulysses I am doing is a bare PCB on a isolated base plate. I like looking at FRA4 =)

    The odyssey works on short circuit and interruption which alters the game logic of the main unit. Plug in in my cart will short circuit pins 4 and 2 which powers the system (turn the system on). Besides that, nothing happens. Now you would read the white instruction on the surface. They tell you which short circuits to establish (by flipping a DIL switches) in order to recreate a game.

    Hello Sadly I noticed that the Magnavox Odyssey games have risen in price. Personally I want to preserve light gun gaming as much as possible. Therefore I started to do a multi card which can be used as cards 9 & 10. Then I realized that this was a waste of silicon an time and that I should better make a 12 in 1 mutli card. Myself I just own 3, 9 & 10 so I was very into the idea once I had it. Here is a picture of the final card: I put all the PCB files onto my website, so everybody can print one for personal usage. I uploaded the files as GERBER and as .brd files (I prefer the latter...). I wish you all happy gaming! Here is a short video of proof, which shows that the little thing actually works: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFJGMqS9hTI&t=4m27s

    He just does DVDs. That said I warmly recommend his games. Great stuff, made with passion.

    Worked for me. Thanks a lot!!

    Thanks a lot.

    Do you have stock again?

    "pretty much died" and "almost" is the perfect form to put it, as there were some very, very few exceptions =)

    Thanks ckrtech I have all parts ready (presumably, until I discover something is missing). In the mean time I tried with the DOS of a Windows 95 machine (compaq, everthing original, nothing fiddled by me). It gave me the same result as with Windows 98SE's DOS. Especially Crazy Shot is hard to run. This weekend I won't be able to continue. The soonest next weekend, but I will see. In the Windows 98SE PC I swapped the apr. 500 MHz CPU for a apr. 1 GHz CPU just for the LOLs and so far none of the games which are of interest to me are affected. I think I am lucky and all the games that intrigue me are made independent from clock speed.

    Hello jschipmann Please never ever trash the system =) I would love to get the Shootout at Old Tucson to run! I will help hunting the arcade board for you. To the others: Is there a way to dump this BIOS without actually removing it?

    What I tried is connecting two Mignon cells to pin 16 (plus) and 18 (minus) over a resistor, with a battery caddy hanging down from the SCART socket. I think I had limited success. However eventually I owned a G-SCART and stopped using this kludge.
  12. Boojakascha
    About blanking: The Analogue NT mini has none too. What I do to inject blanking manually is having a battery trail at a SCART socket, or (BETTER) having a G-SCART router. Possibly Hydra is also feasible.

    Thanks. Next time I will know.

    Hello I am seeking the plug and play game "Operation: Cobra Mission". It was sold by the American company SDW Games. Does anybody have this and is willing to sell it? Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000LC0URK/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I3EU46FKKNJBIY&colid=TK05IDXSSNHF Apparantly there were ports for Chinese Wii clones as well: With kind regards Beb

    The 480, 240 thing is just the old interlaced versus progressive story. As long as your capture card behaves correct it won't be to much of a problem in order to compare qualities. Does the console still output s-video after the mod?
  16. Boojakascha
    So you want us to wait for trying, or shall we cut a trace and wire a quick fix? I am afraid your YouTube link points to anybodys "myVideos" and not to your specifically.
  17. Boojakascha
    Wow, good to know! Thanks a lot! It does! As you said it works with a lot of games. However, there are two games from 1988 not running properly. So I resort to an older DOS. I start fishing with DOS 6.22
  18. Boojakascha
    Yes, I expected most cards stop functioning. Ha, that's darn new! You give me hope, kind Sir!! =) Do you swap cables manually, or just simply alter boot priority in bios? (to choose OS)

    Hello I have built a Windows 98SE gaming PC. It runs very fine and I can play all the games I want, except West Phaser and Crazy Shot. These are strict DOS games, and they run bad from DOS mode of Windows 98SE. I had the idea of inserting a second HD into the PC, from which I would boot if necessary. This one would contain an version of DOS of the needed era. The main board is form the year 2000 though. The CPU is a Pentium III. Is it feasibly, or is the plan absurdly impossible? Did someone else tried something similar? I am afraid that DOS wont work with any component on my whole main board, but I don't have any experience in performing such a crude down grade. With kind regards Ben

    Just bought a Japanese FZ-1. So now I am ready.

    I would be in as tester. I can put the stuff onto the PCB myself I guess, I have decent tools. I have to buy a 3DO though. Is your PCB compatible with all models? I can strap a thin wire to the diode, I don't think it will be a problem.
  22. Boojakascha
    Wow, thanks a lot, that would be very generous! =)
  23. Boojakascha
    That's nice. I just dropped another payment, as I well understand that you are not a company, but just a cool guy making 8 bit nerds happy^^
  24. Boojakascha
    I tried. It results in the same picture as shown before. It is looks exactly the same as if I screwed it onto the terminal. I received my ESR meter early and have it already at hand. Is are there any particular capacitors worth checking?

    Here is another picture of bug hunter. It has again all colors (as asteroids did) but the color images are not at the same location, giving a rainbow and un-sharpness. The white font remains sharp, it just looks un-sharp on the photo EDIT: Having no croma output connected to the s-video jack, looks the same as leaving "color in" away from the UAV EDIT2: Removing luma, yields an unstable picture with no content. That makes sense, as this removes the sync as well.^^ EDIT3: Does any of your customers have a PAL machine? Could that be the issue?
