AtariLeaf Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 So a similar problem to the other anniversary cart where Choplifter and Xevious were causing problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmervine Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Looks like Moon Cresta also has issues and does not play correctly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 So a similar problem to the other anniversary cart where Choplifter and Xevious were causing problems? Tested before shipped?? I hope all the games work.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I wonder if Space Invaders and Moon Cresta are in the same 'slots' that Xevious and Choplifter were... Maybe it's related? I just got mine today (thank you!) and I'll check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Looks like Moon Cresta also has issues and does not play correctly... No crashes in Moon Cresta, however my ship seems to self destruct after I complete the round (kill all the baddies). Is it supposed to do that?

Jinks Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) No crashes in Moon Cresta, however my ship seems to self destruct after I complete the round (kill all the baddies). Is it supposed to do that? No. I paid 86USD for this. I was under the impression that all games would work as they would be tested. I trusted that this is a quality product even after getting my multicart from the previous batch that had two games that didnt work. Sorry to come off as sounding like a d$^k h#$d. I am just disappointed. Edited June 21, 2014 by Jinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) Regarding Moon Cresta: Sometimes if I defeat all the aliens, I'll advance to the next round. Other times, my ship will sit at the bottom for 10-15 seconds, then self destruct for no apparent reason. In this situation, if I have any ships left over, they will do the same: sit there for a few seconds then self destruct. I did manage to get to the second and third stages a couple times. My latest playthrough, I defeated all the alien ships on stage 3, no advance, and after about 10 seconds with no enemies onscreen, my ship exploded. Sometimes this game ending event can also occur at the end of stages 1 and 2 as well. Video: Around 2:09, my ship strikes an invisible object with the gun and advances to round 3. Are there enemy sprites onscreen not getting rendered? Colliding with my ship and destroying it?

AtariLeaf Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Well mine's shipped so I'll try the cart on several different versions of the 7800 and see what results I get. Wonder if it's certain revisions of the motherboard. Do Space invaders and moon cresta have problems as regular carts on certain 7800's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmervine Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 The system that I tested this on is an 'early' 7800 with the Best Electronics AV mod. I am going to test it on my other 7800 (late model, un-modded) tomorrow, but my guess is that some of the EPROMS are suspect. Too bad, of these 8 games SI and MC are my favorites...

I've got a Best AV mod as well, however mine does not have the expansion connector or cutouts for one, so it's not an early revision. My 7800 plays Food Fight just fine so I'm assuming it's a high compatability unit. An easy way to tell would be to plug in the standalone SI cart and see if it crashes. Either way I'm a little bummed about this, especially seeing how I got my 7800 primarily to play this game. At least Pacman Collection is my favorite of the bunch so far and it works flawless. If it was the EPROMS, did CPU or whomever burned them do a full integrity check on every ROM? It seems if the burner can read back the ROM without errors, so would the 7800? My 7800 has Serial #A1 88 5425514 if that helps to tell what I've got. Edited June 21, 2014 by stardust4ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmervine Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I have had no issues with any cart on this 7800. I have both the stand alone SI and MC carts and they play flawlessly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I just tested mine. Having issues with Moon Cresta only. The ship self-destructs and I can't finish a wave. The other games seem to be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 That sucks. Moon Cresta was one of the games I was really looking forward to on this cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accousticguitar Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Space Invaders glitches out on my 7800. I honestly can't play Moon Cresta long enough to figure out if it glitches or not. Has anyone figured out how to control Blinky? I've tried everything I can think of and it just won't work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+evg2000 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 space invaders fails on mine also. Tried BD space invaders cart and it works fine. Moon cresta does some odd things, but maybe it's me or my imaginations. Looks like sometimes my shots go right through th enemy, and sometimes my ship seems to blow up for no apparent reason. Don't think I'm getting hit. Need to have someone with a working cart try it on someones machine that doesn't work to see if it's the eprom, board incompatibility, or what?
