I just checked this as ive just updared my firmwaree and its the Global Settings. If you try to adjust anything in thr audio settings but TIA it drops thr setting to one bar.and then it stays stuck on one bar and unadjustable.

That would be very kind @SainT. If you think it would make any difference. Luckily I'm UK so not to difficult for a swap out. Thank you

Just so someone does not make the same mistake as myself. This device from Aliexpress does not provide a compatible hdmi supply from the 7800GD. See photos The image shows on screen but is bent at the edges and the screen is not static.

@Eaglefollowing @SainTs new firmware update for the 7800GD today this demo is working as per the youtube video with the digitised speech 🙂 Thanks retrohq...

@Eagle I have the most recent firmware. Still no covox sound on this demo. Sorry..

I just gave that a try and Covox is now in the header (see attachment). I don't really know what this demo produces soundwise. But I turned down all sounds except Covox and there are none.

I just tested this on my 7800 GD it does say IRQ in the header but not Covox. I don't know what the additonal sound is for the Covox, is it speech (which can be heard on the YouTube demo) as I heard none? I never noticed anything additional to the demo in the Trebor pack.

Popeye is one of my favourite games from back in the day. I remember fondly going into a shopping arcade and playing this for ages. Would love to be able to purchase the rom 🙂

Thanks @SainT. Downloaded and updated and all is working fine, no problems at all. I now hear Covox.. Perfect timing too right after Grand Prix 🙂

HI Saint. I have the two 7800s, one was AV modded and you went thru with me on twitter about the resistors as it was directly fed so I reinstalled the resistors and a RF 7800 that is not modded at all. The same results occur on both consoles. Pokey, TIA and YM music all work just fine except that weird volume issue on Rikki and Vikki that I highlighted the other day. All of the volumes are set up on Max, both global and on running the file. Ps. Sorry I feel like I'm a pia with these issues.

Has anyone managed to get the Covox demos to play any sound. I've tried with both my Pal 7800s and there is no sound. I tried the Elysium (covox music demo) and others with covox included in the header but there is no sound at all. I have attached a video of Elysium as an example. I dont really know anything about covox or what it does but what are others getting from these demos. The demo is on the most recent Trebor download. Sorry for any camera shake but I don't have any direct capture equipment. Just worried now that something has broken on the cart. VID_20230730_132407.mp4

I'm having a strange issue with Riikki & Vikki on my AV modded Pal 7800. The volume levels of the music are constantly changing and occasionally drop to no sound. I also tested this on my RF 7800 that hasn't been modded and it does the same..video attached from my RF 7800. Does anyone have any ideas or is this normal behaviour?. 20230729_163132.mp4

Thank you so much @TailChaofor this. My little Intel Atom 270 laptop ran this fine albeit slooooww.. Really appreciate, sorry for the outdated machine my 64bit PC recently died and I haven't managed to buy a new one yet. 🙂

Is there another version executable of BupboopConv available as the version posted by @laoowon't run on my Windows 10 (32 bit) os. It gives an error message of BupboopConv.exe is not compatible with the version of windows youre running. 😞

Could you implement a similar thing for exiting emulation on 2600 games as the plus cart. Which used to be reset and press right on the joypad. Although it caused issue on a very small number of games so u have to implement a way to tag a game to turn that implementation off either in the main menu or by a filename attribute?

A friend of mine back in the day had this joystick for his Vic 20. We used to play Spiders of Mars using it. Worst joystick ever had slow reactions. Not much good for a game needing fast reactions.. Never used it with an Atari.. But I would be expecting the same experience.

If its not the above then you may have to wait for someone more expert with PAL boards. But I did have jaggies when I first put the case back on and had to relocate my jack as it was touching somewhere.

Your composite connection seems to be in the correct place. Is anything touching where u have hot glued the jack socket? Might be worth checking that. It's the same mod I have done but mine is a lazy way, but works just the same.

Was it the same motherboard shown in Tfw8b photo and did you cut the yellow cable down to size. Also make sure that when you soldered it, it never touched any other resistors. I never removed the RF board rather cut components that were no longer required and left them in situ. Where did you ground it too? I did mine last week see photo.. Worked fine.

Thanks @Al_Nafuurupdated perfectly. 🙂

@Al_Nafuur just plugged my pluscart in but no update then again I'm not sure what draft devices means. Currently on V. 2.3.1 tho. Is it out just for testing at the moment?.

Thanks for the UNO cart update. Just updated it successfully on my Atari 7800. No problems at all and works fine. Wish list... Long names pls.. 🙂

HI Marco great work. Just gave it a try on my pal atari 2600jr and it runs but I have a weird glitch. A few pixels go the opposite way. Video below

Hi. Tested both the PAL and NTSC ace versions on both of my 7800s. Unfortunately both just crash after loading. My 7800s between them run most stuff, as they are different revisions. One 7800 gives vertical stripes the other is unable to sync then the screen goes black with a repetitive sound playing in the background.

Thought I'd just add my two Pal I 7800 serials: X9383814268 has been recapped and power button replaced X1093115226 has been AV modded and is CIB (kung fu master does not work) They differ in 2600 compatability and both have asteroids as internal rom.
