+Ksarul Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 The Reset circuit on the board just connects pin 1 to pin 29, following the TI standard. Third party cartridges don't always run this trace, and thus may not activate the Reset. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Ah, OK, then we agree (or I have to correct: not shorting against 0V, but -5V). I did not consider a "circuit" to be a simple pin connection, so I misunderstood (German: circuit = Baustein or Schaltung). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sixersfan105 Posted November 9, 2019 Author Share Posted November 9, 2019 That's interesting to hear the schematics of how TI enabled "hot swapping" of cartridges, so to speak. I'll definitely be careful with third party carts. Then again, if it freezes the system, as I've had happen a couple times, a power cycle seems to fix everything.
