Problem with Thrus+ Platinum

[Bucket Brigadier]

Hey all,

 

I recieved Thrust+ Platinum a few weeks back, but thanks to my thesis/finals haven't really been able to test it until just recently. I ran into a problem upon power up; the game starts, but then cuts out about a half-second into the start screen. I read through the manual and checked the switch settings. Making sure it was set to NTSC and not pause, I tried again. Nothing. I tried PAL just for the sake of it, it still projected the picture for a half second and cut. I'd estimate its broken, but is it possible I'm still doing something wrong?

 

I've been testing it on my light-sixer.

 

Thanks for any replies.

Can you explain "cuts out" please?

[Bucket Brigadier]

Well, screen goes black, with the last note playing or flat-lining from when the screen was projecting the picture.

Did you check your console? Large, bankswitching games prefered here.

 

Else it must be the cart.

[Bucket Brigadier]

Well, I checked it by plugging in some other carts. My other games seem to work fine; but I'm not sure which of the other games I have may be referred to as "large, bankswitching" games.

Name a few, the later ones are prefered. Or some other modern homebrews

[Bucket Brigadier]

Tomcat, Missile Command TB, Defender II, River Raid II, Space Shuttle; those are really my late release/HB games. All of those work.

One last question: Other Homebrews maybe?

 

Else contact Al.

[Bucket Brigadier]

Only other homebrew is MCTB. Guess I'll contact Al. Thanks for all your help.

Yes, sounds like a problem with the cart. Please send me a PM and we'll get that cart replaced so you can start enjoying Thrust.

I am having the same problem with my thrus+ platinum. How do I return this game for a new one?

Even after you get it fixed, you'll still have problems...

 

The game is freaking awesome and you'll not want to put it down...

Yeah, the game is a tough challenge and it needs some time to handle the control of ya ship.

IMO one of the best homebrews ever!
