  1. Im not sure any of Crawford's games were designed for you to win :) - Legionnaire I was able to win a few times and Im pretty sure I got to a winning point in Eastern Front once.  Doesnt surprise me that you'll need some bit of lottery luck and making 1 or 2 key decisions in order to get a chance to win.


  2. I have an ICD ADSpeed in my Mega 2 as well.  Its been awhile but from my recollection I need to start the Spectre software in 8mhz mode, I can then switch to 16mhz and get into Mac mode.  For some reason when I start the Spectre software in 16mhz mode it messes up the configuration check (ie, thinks I have more memory than I do)

    I'm trying everything sometimes to get the jitters out of the paddle wheel.   I've completely disassembled the pot, cleaned and polished all contacts.  Added more tension to the contacts by bending.   Added tamiya contact lube and still has the jitters.   Jury is still out on the exact fix on this problem.   The pot travels along the wires to the board thru the large connector back to the game processor board thru the transistor and there is a cap on the board involved.  Lots of areas where contacts can be iffy.

     

    Nice work!  Backlit is great.  Play it anywhere.  Well lit to dark. It stops the sunken display area shadow also.  Not sure why the display wasn't flush.

     

    Did you use the install guide?  Any feedback on the guide, instructions pics?

     

    Score?  191?   Ohh, that's going to be tough to beat.

    I had serious jitters with Block Buster - cleaning the cart contact points with Isopropyl Alcohol and also a good eraser rub has eliminated 99.99% of the jitter.  I havent had any real problems on other carts, but if I get a tiny bit of jitter I do the eraser rub and it goes away.

  4. Im 99.99% sure the chime is the Mac OS.  When you first turned an old Mac on it would chime like that.

     

    Spectre is very picky on you system settings.  With my 16mhz mode switched on my Mega 2, Spectre doesnt start correctly.  I have to switch to 8mhz to boot and then I can run faster.


  5. Have no idea the worth of this but came across when cleaning out my closet.  Crazy prices on ebay.

     

    It appears to be CIB, but pictures of what I have including the box it came in.

     

    $50 shipped within 48 States

  6. Cleaning out my closet and I have 2 boxes of Apple II software - most of it appears to be educational.  I can take more pics if you like.  The software is in 2 "paper boxes" as shown and shipping prob would be $20+.  The software pretty much fills both boxes.

     

    $30 plus shipping

  7. For someone who already owns a 5200 you have alot of carts they most likely already have.  Trying to sell as a lot those "dups" for others are pretty much $0 to them.  As a lot Id almost think you'd be lucky to get $90 shipped.  Just my $0.02

    Maybe create 2 lots - super commons and the rest

    I email "[email protected]" (no reply yet) as I didn't see an order forum so hope to get one at some point soon & plug it in when POKEY testing is more ready.

    I pasted the part # and POKEY in the subject line from his website.  I got a reply fairly quickly.  He is limiting POKEY purchases to 1 per person due to limited supply.
