    Yes the DF requires its own power supply. 9v 1.5A with polarity center positive in your case since the 7800 would be powered separately.

     

    So in your case, you will need two different PSUs. The one you have now for your 7800 still connected to the 7800 and your other one plugged into the DF cart to power it.

     

     

    Doesn't do anything though, the console powers up but the cartridge still show nothing


  2. So the power supply HAS to be going to the cartridge? I might have a problem, I got this French 7800 and it has a totally different input, tried with another 9 volt 2A power supply which did fit on the cartridge but the cartridge itself wont turn on no matter which swich I turn on/flip

  3. I was wondering, is it possible to make other games use the Pokey chip for music and sound instead of the standard chip (forgot which it is) or does that require a romhack?

    Yeah pretty much the only model of the OG Xbox you don't have to immediately worry about the caps on is the later 1.6 versions like I own. However, having said that I replaced all of mine out anyway including the clock cap that you aren't supposed to replace.

     

    But yeah, if the caps near the power connector and the CPU look like that, you better look around the caps in the lower left of the mainboard under the DVD drive. Because that is where the clock cap lives and it likely looks the same or worse.

    It's not even a cap issue, the traces just dissolve all by themselves. I had to fix mine a few years back, all the caps are perfectly fine.

    They think it's just some weird manufacturing defect.

    I don't think that's the issue, as you can see everything else seems fine

  5. So are those caps necesary to make it startup? Their awefully close to the ATX MoBo pin. Do you think they are badly damaged? I never had any cap problems with any system so I wouldn't know.


  6. Okay so I removed some components to look what model this is on the mobo when I saw these 5 caps, might I been mistaken about the PSU, and that this is the actual culprit asto why my Xbox won't work anymore?

    You'll need the "enter" button or a side button to start a rom file from ltoflash.  Put one rom file and no folders to make it simple, PGA Golf would be good for testing.  Do you have any regular cartridges?

     

    If nothing works, you can try unplugging one of the controllers for testing.

     

    Regarding the faint signal, your TV could be tuned slightly off, or the master clock crystal in the intellivision could be out of tune, and probably other possible explanations.

    I tried but now I can't see anything. On my CRT it's just all kinds of snow but none of which you can tell what's happening. How common/uncommon are those French RGB Intellivisions? I'm thinking of taking one of those instead of having to deal with this shit.

    What model intellivision?  Are you getting passed the titlescreen?  Is there any correct response from any controller input?  What cartridges do you have to test with?

    First model, PAL. I'm using the LFO flashcart. It does react to some buttons but it's hard to select anything.


  9. I bought a Intellivision a while ago but the controllers don't seem to work exactly. Side buttons and membrane have been cleaned but I'm not really sure if they are broken or not pressed well enough, the d-pad doesn't seem to respond at all. Any way to fix this? Also is there a way to make the RF signal better? It's a bit too faint.


  10. I have a PAL 7800 and tried to install the PAL50 bios and EEloader so that everything would be displayed right, but I can't really know if it actually installed it or not since the only thing you check is witch BIOS version you have. Colors do seem to be displayed correctly now however. Also while I am sure I installed the 106 version it says 105.
