  1. Hey all, I couldn't quite find a definitive answer on this through searching (due to the enshittification of web search) but I was wondering if anyone had a link to an AV mod kit for the Colecovision that is compatible with PAL consoles? I can only seem to find kits that mention NTSC compatibility only. Thanks!
  2. I got my 32-in-1 cart from Australia, but my PAL H.E.S/Salu games surprisingly all came from US collectors. Nothing came up in my Australian eBay saved searches for years. 😂
  3. I am. I tried to enter a new payment card last night and I encountered the zip code error. I ended up using my saved card that I didn't want to use.
  4. I completed a full PAL retail release set a year or so ago, and the one game that REALLY gave me trouble in terms of finding it was the H.E.S./Salu release of Baseball. In 7 or so years of active collecting, I only saw it twice... The second time being when I bought it. I lucked out with other H.E.S/Salu releases. They are incredibly difficult to find and are usually very expensive. Overall though, if you are patient, it's very doable.
  5. Thank you so much for this! I have an original Rikki & Vikki cart but I wanted to be able to play it on my 7800GD for saving purposes, and this helped me immeasurably! I must admit that the BUP sound is going loud and quiet from time to time with mine. Nevertheless, thank you!
  6. This looks great! I really enjoyed the demo I've played of it so far.
  7. I would absolutely buy this game as a ROM for my 7800GD.
  8. I bought this game a few days ago and I've been playing it on my GameDrive. It's a love-letter to 8-bit classic gaming. Wonderful stuff!
  9. It should also be noted that my console was completely fine with standard POKEY cartridges. There was no interference when putting Crystal Quest or Commando carts into my console, but the POKEY based ROMs on 7800GD gave me interference. 🤔
  10. Here is a solution to my previous issue with on-screen glitching. Thanks to @SainT for pointing me in the right direction. As for the original mod, it was done by someone else and there was good justification for the way it was done... However, this fix/method works with the 7800GD.
  11. Hey folks, I had some screen glitching and along with @SainT noticed that it was dependent upon POKEY sound. Thankfully SainT suggested that it could be the composite/AV mod that was done on my PAL console (see below). Upon investigation, I re-modded the console with two resistors being lifted on their 'left side' and joined together with the white wire (see below... It's not pretty!) POKEY games etc now work properly on the 7800GD! If you have on-screen glitching with the 7800GD and have an AV mod installed, double check the wiring of your mod.
  12. So it arrived today and I only had some minor play time with it. First impressions are great... The build quality is fantastic and there were no issues with putting Trevor's 7800 Pro Pack on to an SD card. However, I had some problems with certain homebrew/indie games on PAL mode. I have a PAL console and I was getting a lot of screen interference when playing Crystal Quest. It played fine the first time but after a reset it wouldn't work properly. A couple of other PAL homebrews did the same but not all. Any ideas @SainT? I'll try to upload photos tomorrow as it's very late now.
  13. I've just received shipping notification!
  14. From my understanding, it's the capacitors. I was advised to change the two capacitors and the 5v mainboard regulator (circled in the picture) after I was getting jittering and interference onscreen. I just changed the two caps and my picture is back to normal again.
