Decathlon crashes on 6-switch 2600 ?

[Lord-Chaos]

Don´t know why this happens :

 

Decathlon - which works fine on a 2600jr or a 2600 with 4 switches - crashes on a 6-switch 2600 the same way as on a 7800 :

 

You see the game for about 1 second and then a black screen.

 

This isn´t just one cart , all my Decathlon carts don´t work.I know that this game is incompatible to the 7800 , but why does it not work with an old 6-switch 2600 system ?

 

This is the SALU /HES reproduction , PAL , of the game.Did they change something ? All my systems are PAL ...

 

On the 7800 no Decathlon carts will work , not the Salu version,not the Activision PAL , not the NTSC version.

 

Is this a problem of the game or something wrong with the console ?

I have hear in the past, that there exist different versions from the 7800er. On the most versions this game don't work, and some others too not. I think Space Shuttle has too some problems on this console.

 

So it has something to do with the console, that it don't emulate the Atari 2600 perfect.

 

Don't know why this happen.

I have a PAL 6-switcher and Decathlon runs fine. My copy is the original picture label one, though - I've got Enduro and Frostbite in Salu and I often have problems just getting those buggers to even run when I turn the machine on. I think it must be a Salu thing.
