e5frog Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 I bought three PCBs (blank boards) as I was out of them and someone wanted (and paid for - thanks) a cart. Got the PCBs yesterday and they hadn't drilled all holes... So I'm expecting new ones in about two weeks, then I can set you up. Mostly trying to finish Tetris but there has been other problems at the moment due to the new coronavirus - don't know if you've heard about it. Send me a message (or payment to reserve one). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikebloke Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 If you have a spare e5frog when the other two have gone out I might commit to buying one. I will probably have enough money saved up to get one now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey is where all the action is Edited April 22, 2020 by fdr4prez 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theallknowingsause Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Eehehehhehh oookaayyyyy, tennis and hockey can only be enjoyed by the same 2 people for so many times until you lust for MORE! Even though Hockey is the best version of "Hockey" ever made lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you drill the needed holes and salvage the boards? You may have to solder the lead to both sides of the board since the hole won't be plated.

e5frog Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 It's the two milled holes that goes into the cartrige shell pins and sets the position and angle of the PCB inside the shell. If aim is off the cart could get stuck (or not mount) or create a short between connector pins - or poor/no connection. Don't know what tolerances the now existing System Fairchild units have so it's best to do it properly. I tried doing it manually but got it too tight and when widening them it ended up crappy. As I'm getting new boards anyway maybe I'll try and salvage the boards later on, perhaps I'll figure out a way to do it better - if it's worth it for two PCBs (empty, unpopulated boards). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e5frog Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) All orders made until today has been shipped. Still have some boards left (got another set as bandaid on the wounds as we say in Sweden - but in Swedish...) but I'm missing one type of IC and also SMD capacitors, they should arrive the coming week. I have a couple of other things I need to finish, so I might be less responsive for a while (weeks, months...? ). So Grab One Now Thanks everyone for your support.

+atari2600land Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 The version of Golf that is on the multicart is a work in progress version. The version of Golf on Trimerous should be the completed version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had a go at killer heads as well, it's simple but for the fairchild channel F it's still lots of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e5frog Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 I'm working this summer, less than full time but still. So not leaving the comfort of my own home. If anyone needs some Multi-Cart gaming I can help out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
