I'm not a coleco collector anymore but nice job with that. Would go nice with those modded jag controllers of yours.

If you can't wait twelve seconds to play ColecoVision than you don't deserve to. ;) j/k

 

Nice job and good luck with your sale!

The 12 seconds is garbage and I can't wait. :cool: I hate that stupid title screen.

I did the same Intro Skip mod on the 7800 I use to have. Except with that one you didn't have to press a button, it just bypassed the screen all together. That BIOS also had the onboard Asteroids ROM (like the European consoles if I'm not mistaken) so if the unit was powered without a cartridge inserted, Asteroids would load. I wish I knew how to program at all, I'd like to have Donkey Kong as an onboard ROM for the ColecoVision.

That would be cooler than the skip bios (just load DK instead of the insert cart message) and I'm sure it could be done.

 

Aces and eights always split. ;)

The BIOS isn't PAL\NTSC specific only the hardware.

I'm just saying that I thought the PAL 7800s had the onboard Asteroids ROM, whereas the NTSC units didn't. Can anybody confirm this? The Skip Bios/Astroids Rom upgrade I did was on an NTSC 7800.

So there were no PAL 7800 consoles that had Asteroids as a built in ROM?

That's what I was asking confirmation about: The fact that PAL 7800 consoles had Asteroids as an onboard ROM. The place where I got the original Intro Skip /Asteroids Rom BIOS indicated that PAL consoles had Asteroids as an onboard ROM.
