I had about 15 donated for the initial batch, but they ran out within days... If you have a donor shell, it's easy enough to put the cartridge in... Second issue is that, for the moment, I cannot post to the USA due to the COVID-19 problems. I am in Europe and I have no idea when those services will restart. I'll keep an eye out and let you know, but it could be a few weeks or months... regards, FliP Ok Thank you! Just let me know when your able to post to the U.S again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 As for shell, didn't someone have a 3D model on its way? Was it never finished, intended to be closed source or other? Also if you mark on the PCB what is front and what is back, do you strictly need a shell - to push the metal pins down to tell the console a cartridge is inserted?

There was someone working on a 3D model. He had scanned in a cartridge and was converting the scan. I asked a while ago, and I believe he said he abandoned it due to other commitments. He was going to forward the files, but haven't heard back since... The cart works perfectly without a shell - there's no pins to push down and it's clearly marked which side should face the front of the console...

carlsson Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Great, so donor shells would just be for completeness, not in order to get the functionality. Perhaps I'm biased because I have so many multicarts, flashcarts, memory card devices etc which are barebones rather than in a pretty enclosure.

Judge Mental Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Are u still making/selling the RCA Studio II multicart? If so, I would love to order one. With shell, manual, and box if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djones60 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 For those that have a 3d printer, I did a simple shell design for this Multicart. I didn't like mine being unprotected and couldn't find any other designs out there. The OpenSCAD source is included so you can play with the design and tweak it. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4890690 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The newer system board versions were crippling a signal on the cartridge port, which meant that larger games (using $c00 and higher) would not work. Thanks to Ed Keefe (also active here), the cart now fixes this signal, meaning that no modification is needed to the console itself! Using 2 hex encoders, 128 slots are available on an EEPROM - this is plenty for the existing games, both official ones and homebrew. The cartridge is compatible with clones, such as the Victory MPT-02 (though not with the Toshiba Visicom, as the slot/pinout is different). Should new games come out, or found, they can be added by flashing the EEPROM. Some photos are attached showing the cart playing Pong and Asteroids (both games by Paul Robson). It's been designed to fit the original cartridge shells. Two holes are needed in the front for the rotary selection switches (and some internal tabs need to go as well). I have some spare shells of broken carts, courtesy of toymailman. I probably won't have time to modify them for the carts, but I'll add the shells on a first-come basis (i.e. until they run out). The design is open source - see the schematics and the board file attached. You're welcome to build your own of course, but these are not intended to be used in a commercial product. If you'd rather have a ready-made one, I am happy to ship one anywhere in the world for US$40. Leave your username, whether you need a shell (on first come basis only - you'll have to modify it yourself to fit the cart). For those interested, I can add a small PCB that gives you composite out at no extra cost (but you need some soldering skills to add it to the console of course). Put that in your post as well... I'll keep a list below this post with orders, to keep track of things. When your cart is ready to ship, I'll send you a PM with further details. Any questions, feel free to ask!

Lord_of_Sipan Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Recently played the scramble port on Studio ii for the first time today. Very fun, I got pretty far. Plays a little more "strategic" and less spamy than the arcade game and most home ports, almost feels like River Raid at times since you can't just go guns blazing yolo the whole game. I experienced something strange though a couple of times and I wasn't sure if this is an intended mechanic or not, it seemed like it, but I was unsure of what exactly was happening. Sometimes, I am not sure why, my ship would spawn a new ship maybe 6 lines up from where it was located and after a really brief lag that ship would be the one which I could control. First couple of times this happened I immediately died since I ran into a rock with the newly spawned ship before I realized what had happened. It seemed to stop occurring altogether after maybe 5 minutes into a play through. Is this a general Scramble mechanic that I just don't remember from the arcade game? I often confuse memories of Scramble with other games like Super Cobra and even Laser Gates on 2600 since they are all early examples of horizontal scrolling shooters.

General POTUS Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Big thank you to Flip - thank you for the awesome job done on this project & apologies I though I had already posted this photo (very embarrassed by the delay) I received the cart back in Sept - it arrived in Australia from Belgium all in good order. Attached is a photo of the cart in use on the day it arrived. I am very happy to report that the MPT-02 library works perfectly on my MPT-02 Victory console (PAL system) & I have spent many hours rediscovering games from my childhood as well as some new “old games” I didn’t get to play back in the day. Unfortunately the other libraries including the homebrews are coded for NTSC & as would be expected don’t display well on a PAL system. Nonetheless I am very happy to have access to the classic library & I am keeping an eye out on eBay for a NTSC console. I was planning on putting the cart inside a 3D printed case, but the thing is a work of art. Well done to Flip, not only for the concept & curating the collection, but also for the awesome job crafting the cartridge. For the time being I will leave it uncovered just so I look at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General POTUS Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Had a great night playing some of the home brew games thanks to Flip for the tip for PAL console users (adjusting red switch on back of cart) 👍👍👍 Asteroids, Skramble, Climber, PacMan, Combat & Rocket all work on my MPT-02 Victory.
