Colecovision wont run some cartridges

[san-d-2000]

I have a problem with my Colecovision, it wont run some cartridges so far i am having problems with Pinguin Land, Astro Invader and Wonderboy.

 

Pinguin Land and Wonderboy play but will reset to startup screen after 1 minute of game play, Astro Invader will show the startup screen and than turns to a blackscreen, got to play Astro Invaders once for 30 secs before it turned to black.

 

All Colecovision stock games run perfect, also tried lots of homebrew without any problems.

 

Any suggestions?

Check out this thread as there are some similarities:

Also, have you tried the cartridges out on the ADAM Computer to rule out the obvious that something could have happened to the actual cartridges. If memory serves me right, I sold you one a couple years ago with just the printer power supply... I'm getting old and my memory isn't what it used to be from years of abuse.

Niad i dont have room for an Adam Computer, i live in Amsterdam so space is scarce :-)

i have been reading the other topic but it's a bit to technical i guess.

you live in amsterdam, are you sure it is not you just blacking out after a little bit of time.

 

If you have another power supply that would be an easy quick test also to rule out your power supply starting to go.

OK then, it must have been lucifershalo that bought that system a couple years ago. You are right though, it is pretty big!

Just a note that all three of these games has a different source and a different PCB inside... one from Collectorvision, one from Team Pixelboy, and one from AtariAge.

Unfortunately i dont have an extra powersupply, but do you guys think that would be the problem?
