yorgle Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Are the 2600 bankswitch pcb's in the AtariAge store the same for 8/16/32K eproms? Or is there a separate pcb for each size eprom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+selgus Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Are the 2600 bankswitch pcb's in the AtariAge store the same for 8/16/32K eproms? Or is there a separate pcb for each size eprom? There is a different PCB for each density of EPROM. When you purchase one of their PCB's, you select what size EPROM you will use with it. --Selgus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured that's what he meant. Thanks for clarifying, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorgle Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 Is there anyway to tell which pld is which? Here's what I've run into: I recently ordered a 32k pcb and eprom, burned a 32k f4-type bankswitch .bin to it and I know the eprom is programmed correctly because I can read it to my pc and play the game fine on Stella. But it doesn't work on my 2600- I just get wavy multicolor lines and garbage. I'm thinking the pld is incorrect for a 32k .bin. Any ideas what else i can try?

Which game did you try? Medieval Mayhem. Hmm... that one should be compatible. Did you insert the eprom correctly? With the pixels past and atariage logos facing up, the notch of the eprom should face right (see picture). If it still does not work, you probably don't have the right PLD.

Yeah, I've got the eprom on correctly (my pcb is blue and even has an outline of the eprom drawn on it showing the notch to the right). I guess I'll just order another pcb and try it.
