  1. From the album: Vectrex

  2. Quick update, returned from my trip. Just pulled the cables Richard needed and will send them out first thing in the morning to resume troubleshooting.
  3. Board was sent but I forgot to include some of the cables that connect the logic to power and such. As soon as I get back from a work trip I'll get those out to Richard. Everyone just keep following this thread for updates on this issue. Pretty confident he can figure it out now that he has hands on one of the troublesome logic boards.
  4. I'm going to send my vectrex logic board to Richard so he can poke around and see what's different about these specific Vectrex systems. The carts do work, my other system plays them perfectly fine. its definitely the Vectrex system so hang onto your vecmulti while we try to work through this.
  5. Can anyone tell me where to pull the color video from on a XEGS board? I found someone's install pic of a XEGS but they do not specify where they pulled color from. I pulled direct from PIN 21 of the GTIA, which is COL - Color Frequency and it seems to work ok direct. Just want to make sure it's ok to leave that way long term or if a resistor on the board works best?
  6. Received the new VIA chips, same results unfortunately. Ran Malbam's weirdtest.bin, splash screen for test appears then black screen so it appears fine. Used the menu builder again on the vecmulti just in case something was strange on the cart but still same result. Seems there are some vectrex out there that simply will not run the multicart. Pics of original and new via below

    My original via chip in the troublesome Vectrex system. Vecmulti will not run properly, garbled menus and games stop or will not load.

    Replacement VIA chip for Vectrex. Tried it to see if vecmulti issues would be fixed. Same results as original VIA
  9. Fantastic work Malban. Just read through your troubleshooting/dev post. I'm eagerly awaiting my new VIA chips from China via slow boat. I'll play with your sample bin and see if it tells me it's "wierd"
  10. Thank you Malban. I'll go through your post to learn more. Just ordered a set of the Rockwell VIA someone in your dev thread was using. Probably slow boat from China so will get to it when they arrive.
  11. Didnt consider caps as everything else I throw at it works perfectly fine, just the to vecmulti carts. I did pull out my other system and they load up perfectly. Its definitely something with the system or cart slot. Acts like it's not making contact properly on all pins
  12. From the album: Vectrex

    Menu text pushed to next line. Games fail to load or fail during play.
  13. Finally had a chance to play with my new Vecmulti carts this weekend at game night. Tried both carts, both have varying results but neither work 100% anyone have a clue why the menu text becomes pushed to next line? Seems that when this occurs the games either fail to load or stop playing during play. Retail carts play 100% every time. Sean Kellet Multicart plays 100% every time. Only issues when the Vecmulti is running. Suppose it could be something with my vectrex system but I'm at a loss what to look at next.
  14. I tried to order a few cib commons from him a while back, that site is ghetto and he gave me the same story. Hasn't been updated in years and cannot sell them at those prices.
  15. Wow, lots of us going for CIB set at the same time. I need 2 I'm stuck without Zaxxon and Quest for Quintana Roo CIB was away from signal when the last quintana cib sold on ebay Good luck everyone
  16. Another guy out of Las Vegas called the kollector protector kollectorprotector.com has various oddball sizes for things. Ill see if i can get ahold of him in hopes for some of these odd sized needs.
  17. Just found this thread, love the info. Always wanted something to fit my Odyssey 2 collection a bit better. I noticed you needed info for Bounty Bob 5200. I've attached photos of measurements here. With tab extended it is 11 3/4" long About 8 11/16" wide Just a hair shy of 1" thick Desperately need a protector for this one if you know of anything close at all. Probably something like the size of the old commodore and PC box floppy games.
  18. Been dealing with Barb directly through Jerry's old email and she's still doing covers as previously stated in the thread. She is currently only using Ebay since she doesnt know how to get in here but here is the email she's using for direct contact retiredoldjd@gmail.com Maybe a mod can update Jerry's main post since they are still very much for sale and Barb has no access. If this seems out of line feel free to delete but we have been messaging back and forth about it for weeks. RIP Jerry
  19. Would you mind throwing the disc image up somewhere for us to share?
  20. just found this thread. Would love to have vhs and dvd of all your project games. I love the cheesy fmv games like this. I think the best one's are on sega cd but action max is a very close 2nd for me If you get this running again please let me know. Paypal ready!
  21. Still doing these by chance? I've acquired an action max and now looking to preserve my tapes.
  22. if the marty deal falls through im in.
  23. Sure, I'm in. I have does of many odyssey games that could help someone out. Hopefully someone has turtles and can help me out eventually.
