M-Ntework games

[edweird13]

I got a unknown M-Network game today and it doesnt work in my 7800. I have read that Kool Aid man doesnt work properly in later 7800 models. Do all M-Network games have issues with the 7800 or just certain ones? Is there anyway to find out what game it is because I dont have a 2600.

Kool Aid Man doesn't work in some 7800s and 2600s because Atari had a batch of buggy TIA chips that crashed the game. As far as I know that's the only game it affected. Your cartridge may just need a good cleaning.

I cleaned the contacts but that didn't help.

It's possible the game is dead, I have had a few of those over the years.

I do get some red vertical lines of different sizes but thats it. Oh well I only payed 50 cents for it.

The cart may either have a dead ROM or internal ring cracks. If you're handy with a soldering iron, you can fix ring cracks.

 

That'll save you buying a replacement, which you might wind up paying more than 50 cents for.

I have never seen an M-Network board and chip. Looks pretty cool, much cooler than the Atari ones I have seen. Who hasn't broken open an extra Combat or Football to see what was inside?

I recently bought a small lot of m network games and all worked except kool aid man and burgertime. The burgertime only gets a few lines on screen, no matter what. The kool aid man would come up on screen, but do noothing else. After asking here, I found out that the diff switch is a pause for kool aid. Still no luck with burgertime.

BTW, I opened a few m network carts and there were several different boards ranging fron tiny to almost fillingh the whole case.

I've broken one open before and none of mine look like that. Those are pretty slick looking
