I'm assuming that if left unused over time, the pins start to oxidize a bit and that would skew the readings of course. Just some followup on this since I am partially building another board at the moment. The connectors are Molex(R) and gold-plated, so it probably isn't a connector problem. The ribbon cables were hard to find, and I finally got a batch from somewhere (can't remember if Amazon or eBay). Anyway, I would easily blame them for the problems. https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/276/1/0878340611_PCB_HEADERS-152817.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChildOfCv Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) Okay, updated the program to change its messages for the bad cartridge tests. Also, if you only had the single video test, you now have one for NTSC and one for PAL. The NTSC one should also now have good timings, so no more weird tearing. As usual, plug into Windows, find out which COM port it is, and run diag_flash COMx where x is the port number. diag_flash.zip Edited July 19, 2021 by ChildOfCv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
