+Lathe26 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Space Raid and Sydney Hunter are tricky to get aligned right to work, but worth the effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I've not tested mine yet. I hope I can get them to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterZero Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I can't get space raid to work! Anyone elase having this trouble? I had problems getting mine to work - I backed out the cartridge by a hair, and it works fine that way. - J 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+JasonlikesINTV Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Well, this happened once too... What games, you ask? Nice box 'upgrades' for Thin Ice, Chip Shot, and Super Pro Football. Before: After: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetroAl Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I've tried everything on both my Intellivision 1 and 2. I'll try again this weekend. I had a thought after I gave up last night, is there a way for the cart to be built upsidedown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intymike Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Well, this happened once too... It seems there is a small problem with the US postal service. I received my four games (both games in both variations) from Canada to Germany all over the mighty Atlantic in perfect condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+grips03 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Shipping Monday Your board works fine on my INTV II but i'll send replacement anyway. Are you making adjustment to the pcb before sending replacements? The power fix is easy to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could sometimes get the loose board to work, but never when in the shell.... works fine on Sears, its just how the cartridge edge connector lines up on the split power trace on the cart.

+grips03 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) cart needs power as cart has electronics on it. power to Mattel pcb (green) is via via normal trace. power to collectorvision pcb (red) is via split trace, see pic. this split power trace depends on the card edge shorting the two sides of the trace together. This would require super perfect alignment that sometimes does not occur. Edited November 7, 2014 by grips03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+grips03 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Thanks! So why use "split trace"? Most likely due to the way they wanted to program the pcb, see the Sydney thread for more details. There is an easy fix and this is something that could have been designed differently, so the split power trace would have not been required.

+grips03 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 e There is an easy fix for a "glitchy" cart? If so, what is it? Easy is relative and depends on if pcb is glued in or not. Is your glued in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
