Just send Albert a PM, that happens sometimes. I am sure he will send you a new one, or repair it.

 

Unless you got it from a third party, of course.

thats the special easter egg mode

 

seriously though im sure albert will replace it. Check out the yahoogroup for synthcart if your intersted in discussing the product with us other POWER USARS

Yeah, just contact Albert and he'll take care of it. He ships out a lot of carts, and while he usually tests all the carts before he sends them out, a bad one is bound to go out once in a while.

He sent me a PM and I sent him a new cart yesterday. All the carts that go out are tested, including his original cart. But DOA carts can still happen, although fortunately not very often. When I get the defective cart back I can take a look at what the problem is. My guess would be a bad solder joint, or possibly a bad EPROM.

Its most likely a bad solder joint, they bang boxes up pretty good and a bad solder point will break off for sure. Trust me I know.

is it the same issues?

 

I have seen the synthcart work fine on all models, so it is perplexing....

 

 

where do you live?

[dr.blowfins]

All I know is, It does not work proper on secam machines.Because a secam version is not availlable.Thats the point in france and other countrys.

[Paul Slocum]

No known compatibility issues except for SECAM consoles (the B&W switch is wired differently on those). I've tested it on almost everything including 7800, Colecovision adapter, and PAL 2600.
