Rolo Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I tried to use a Compumate (PAL) with a CBS Expansion Module #1 on my COLECOVISION (PAL). => Not working. Black screen with white diagonal stripes running through on the TV-set. I had to remove the plastic cover on the backside of the Compumate-cartridge first, to be able to plug it into the Expansion Module (physically not fitting). The joystick cables are quite short but I could plug them into the Expansion Module. I tried both possibilities, just to be sure. Then I tried the PAL-ROM and the NTSC-ROM on the HARMONY-Cartridge. Same effects on screen. Has anybody ever succeeded in doing so? Am I doing something wrong? Or simply an incompatibility?

Amstari Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I've got a Coleco Gemini, which has the same problem because the joystick ports are on the front. I think there would be a lot of similarities between the Gemini and the expansion module, except that it doesn't need to be plugged into a Colecovision. I haven't tried using a CompuMate with it yet, but I will try it soon and let you know the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolo Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Hi Amstari, great. Thank's a lot. Any news? Maybe I just buy a VCS console on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amstari Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hi Amstari, great. Thank's a lot. Any news? Maybe I just buy a VCS console on ebay. Sorry I haven't tried it yet. I've got some holidays soon, so will get time to try it and I will post the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolo Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 Well, just bought a Woodgrain 6-switch and plugged in the CompuMate. It's working fine. So, probably there is an incompatibility of CompuMate and Coleco Expansion Module #1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
