Cracking open an A8 Demon Attack cart

[Wrathchild]

There is a version patched for any OS if you are going to take the opportunity to replace the ROM too.

Aptly named cart, Demon Attack as it looks like it was attacked by a demon...

 

Looks like it was buried so deep it probably has the details of who really shot JFK on it

 

Anyway, best of luck with it, there's so much precise help so far so if there's any hope you have it now..

the OP didn't say what he was running the cart on that I recall it was assumed he knew what to run in on... there's that word though..  assume.. it makes

an A** of U & ME... 

I'm attempting to run it on a 16K Atari 400, which I understand to be supported according to the manual I dug up. I would be delighted to be misinformed on this though! I do have a 48K Atari 800 on the way to me (that of the incorrect AC adapter), and I intend to test on it as well.

 

Edited to add: I'm continually impressed with the amount and quality of the feedback I've gotten from everyone here on the forums. Y'all have been very helpful for all my various dumb problems!

for avionics we've used

with great success, safe and does a reasonably nice job.

 

 

I was very tempted to get some of these cleaners during my last visit to Canada but then thought that having lots of flammable liquids in my baggage would not really be in line with airline dangerous goods regulations....

I had been using CRC QD electronic cleaner, but it seemed to do very little. After seeing everyone buying Deoxit I tried looking for that, instead finding WD40 Specialist Contact Cleaner. This stuff seems to clean blue corrosion right off! Also takes solder flux off without scrubbing.  https://www.amazon.com/WD-40-Specialist-Electrical-Contact-Cleaner/dp/B00AF0OFVU/ref=asc_df_B00AF0OFVU/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167130986292&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4857551779207064659&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9033598&hvtargid=pla-316073662257&psc=1

Excellent stuff, I just knew I had forgotten something. As testimonial, this stuff cleaned out a lawnmowers electric start switches, kill contacts and other odds and end with little to no effort. The machine was left open to the elements for nigh on two years and an extra summer... None of the gadgets worked and it would not start... 10 minutes of spraying every switch and connector down and it all went back to normal. Starts every time, shuts right off, and all of the silly electronic crap that should not even be on a mower was working as well. So it certainly is great on contacts and corrosion. I had only used this twice on pcb's and it didn't hurt anything, I couldn't complain... it's not the same as corrosion x etc... It's good stuff though
