No it's relatively rare but not impossible to find. Also if you really need it it's in xb27 suite or 512k utils or fg99 Sent from my LM-G820 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 About the only thing rare about that cartridge is the date of manufacture, as it was made in late October in 1979. Of course, that takes a $20 cartridge and makes it about a $30 cartridge--but it is definitely not worth anything like the price being asked for in the auction. On the big auction with the 99/4 in it, I suspect anyone offering $400 to $450 or so would have a shot at it. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+FarmerPotato Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Ugh, I tried to get sockets for the V9958 and this is what arrived today from Hong Kong: eBay seller mayetoto18 . Of 27 parts ordered, 2 ICs were in foam, but 25 sockets were not and were damaged beyond use. EDIT: got an immediate refund from seller.

+Ksarul Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I may have a bunch (a couple of hundred) of the right sockets for the 9938. Let me look and I'll send you some if I do. . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FarmerPotato Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Another chapter in my quest for V9938 sockets. This is what I made when I was 17 when I could not find them anywhere. Yamaha sent the free sample chip (but no socket). 64-pin machined socket, basswood, 64 wire wrap/solder connections. A TI engineer provided the suggestion (and his wire wrap gun!) and helped me solder it. I found the machined socket at OEM Parts, Colorado Springs, where I worked as a pin straightener on salvaged ICs for $3.35/hr. During the DRAM shortage, used 4116s resold for 99 cents. Straightening thousands of 4116s earned me money for a Geneve. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+FarmerPotato Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I too have some, if needed. Machine sockets. Thanks. Ksarul is supplying me with a few. I prefer the dual-wipe kind anyway. I worked on the twin V9958 board analog side all weekend. Lots of cheap Yamaha CXA1675 and CXA2075 encoders/drivers on eBay (RGB to composite) so I'm using the CXA2075. I hope they are genuine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CX40 sticks (the Atari ones) can be pretty cheaply found, or if you're more of the NES persuasion, you can find aftermarket NES-style controllers as well. Personally I prefer the NES-style most of my time, but some times just call for a joystick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 If you plan on getting a PEB TIPI setup, but do not already have the box << HERE >> is an auction for one that appears to be in reasonable shape. I'm assuming the top is all scratched to hell since he does not show pictures of that. ALSO: It's listed as "AS-IS & no returns"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
