CaptainBreakout Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Far out! Looking at this, I was thinking of the troublesome hurdles separating the 7800 from current typical living rooms. Besides the pack-in controller pitfalls (which Edladdin for one has provided several solutions to), there's the power supply and the lack of composite (HDMI?) output. Maybe this project can address those? This could be a Kickstarter, or an AA product. An integrated FireFly could bring it up to the level of the CollectorVision Phoenix, come to think of it. Would be very gratifying to see that happen with a 7800-centric product. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyandeyanen Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I have an extra 7800 board which I repaired sitting around without a case, this would be perfect for it! Definitely following. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely following. Can you post a picture of it, with the chips exposed, before you do that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a post-expansion port board with the death grip cartridge guide purchased dead off Mercari, the voltage regulator and caps were replaced and now it fires right up. Plays fine with Rikki & Vikki too, this will be my 3rd 7800 if I can get a case for it. It'd make a great additional homebrew demo system the next time California Extreme has a physical show, even better with a PacManPlus case. I have another UAV kit ready to go once it's in an enclosure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 When I wake up a few hours from now, I'll try to remember to take a pic of my naked one as well. I replaced caps and cleaned up corrosion and replaced the joystick ports and buttons with new ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah just look at the UAV install video as I think I do a complete opening of a 7800 in that one. I can provide pics of semi stripped further boards if CPU really needs his fix! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyandeyanen Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Perhaps I should have put forth more effort to live up to expectations, I didn't have a bear rug handy though. Maybe some candles. A new enclosure would look even better to me though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early '88 made unit that doesn't have the extra timing circuit components added. Where is the screw to secure you VR to the heatsink? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to look to see if I lost it or something. it worked last time I connected it without issue at least. The board was in pretty bad shape when I got it.

Well, they work for a while without being attached securely to the sink, but the VR won't last long that way. The VRs on the 7800 get really hot. I think only the 12Ω resistor, 3904s, and +5 VR on the Intellivision get hotter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
