Success! I had forgotten to set a BootBank. Shame on me.

Hi, any chance to upload a screenshot of the FC.COM Configurator Utility? I can´t start it with Altirra. I will try to flash the VBXE blind. Thanks!

Yes, I removed the RF and monitor output and replaced with stereo and a DIN 13 for RGB output.

Hi, back to the Atari scene after a few years so bear with me. I have a 130 XE with VBXE 2.0, Ultimate 1 Mb and Simple Stereo boards. Until today, everything worked fine and screen output was brilliant through SCART and Retrotink 5X, so I tried to flash the VBXE to 1.26 core. I did it with FC.EXE, v2fx126a.xbf in Bank 1 and v2fx126r.xbf in Bank 2. Flashed OK and when I reset the 130 XE...black screen. The AVR light blink and then turn off when before I had a steady green. Can I connect legacy composite and try to flash again the VBXE? To which points? Or do something to recover the VBXE? Thanks!!

PM sent for one cart. Thanks!

Well, I changed the battery. Nothing changed

Yes, I moved the jumper to Emergency Mode. I´m going to replace the battery but it still has 3 V, so maybe it´s not an issue. Thanks for the replies.

Thanks, I was able to reflash the CC2 (renaming to BOOTROM.CC2) but it still do the same thing.

Thank you, I used those files to update but they don´t have EMGBOOT.CC2 nor in the original CD that came with the CC2.

Hi, after a few years stored I finally tested my 7800. It only started in 2600 mode so, I changed the two RAM ICs (TMM-2016P-1 for TMM-2016AP-1) and then everything worked fine. But, when I tried my CC2, I saw a screen reporting that the NVRAM was corrupted and next, the text in the menu showed up garbled. I rebuilt the menu.txt and menu.cc2, and also formatted the MMC but nothing changed. Then, I reflashed the CC2 with bootrom.cc2 (showed up that it was done correctly) but when the 7800 booted again, the screen was black with white vertical and diagonal stripes. The strange thing is that in the Emergency Boot, the screen is fine, only happen in the Main Mode. I tried to update within the emergency mode with bootrom.cc2 (2.01 and 1.01) but still do that (with and without the MMC). Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! PS: Reading (again) the manual, I noticed that the file I have to use in Emergency Mode is EMGBOOT.CC2 but I couldn´t find nowhere and schells.com is down. Someone has this file? Thanks!

Hi, Sergio is a well know seller here in Argentina but not a good one, I´m afraid. Over more than a decade, he auctioned with more names that I can remember (danilop2k2 between others) but he can be reached in www.consoladejuegos.com. Actually, he is trying to sell in Mercado Libre (ebay Argentina) a few Harmony carts ( http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-442260069-atari-sd-multicart-harmony-cart-atari-2600-_JM ), obviously under other name. By the way, Gabriela is his wife if my memory serves well. On the other hand, I read this http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/187319-colecovision-auction-watch/page__st__1375 . Banning the entire city of Buenos Aires or don´t trust argentinians. Seriously? If that so, I could never have paid or bought the 7800 XM Expansion, the CT60 for my Falcon (and the upcoming SuperVidel), the UltraSatan for my STs or many things for my beloved 8 bits ( http://www.retrocomputacion.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?47169 ) including the Ultimate 1 Mb and Ide Plus 2. Thanks

I´m interested in one as well. Thanks!

Hi, after a while I have some free time so I´m testing my ideplus (finally!) . I´m new in the Sparta land or any Atari DOS for that matters but I could set two partitions, one with Sparta 4.45 and the other with MyDos. As I try to learn Sparta I wanted to transfer some ATR images (http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/187482-4-atari-16mb-hard-disk-images-completed/) to the MyDos partition and booting directly form that file. So, how can I do it? It´s just a copy or is there something more? Thanks! P.S.: I have to say that is a fantastic piece of hardware and Sparta, a really great software.

Yuhuu, I received mine today!! Really nice board, as always. But I have to do some field work next week so it will take a while until I test it. Thanks Sebastian!!

I would like one if someone left. Thanks!
