  1. In fact no...I had a French version of the Expansion Module 1 too !

     

    So it does not work...I need to check the Inside.

     

    One quick question : when you switch on the Colecovision with the module connected but no Game cartridge inserted, do you get anything else than a blanck screen ?

  2. Hi guys,

     

    I have a great fully working French/Scart Colecovision.

     

    My problem is coming with the Module #1 : when plugging it, I just get a black screen and it won't read any game cartridge.

     

    Unplugged, I get my Colecovision back as usual...

     

    I already cleaned up the connectors many times, both in th extension slot and the Atari module, and did not identify any other potential issues.

     

    Anyone can help ?

  3. I also received a prototype 'vecjoy' enclosure from Richard. There were a few modifications I had to make. On my kit, the header pins for connecting both boards together needed to be removed. Unlike the last example, my header pins were vertical from the board and not mounted at a 90 degree angle providing the ability to plug the cable in to the side of the board. I removed the pins and wired the boards directly. I also did not use the LED space/holder because they were too high so much so it would not allow the switches to protrude out of the box enough to access them. Other then that - it was pretty easy to install.

    Hi John,

     

    Welcome to the VecJoy club !

     

    I must admit I really enjoy playing with it.

     

    Richard, one more comment : you could print 4 circles (7 mm diameter) in the back plate to paste rubber feet ; or maybe 5 with one in the center.

  4. I now managed to fit Rolo's kit into Rochard H. Vecjoy box (thanks again Rich for the prototype).

     

    Everything works fine !

     

    I highly recommend this controller :

    - Stick reactivity is excellent

    - Firing buttons is definitely much better than on the original

    - The Auto-Fire option on button s3 and 4, selectable, and adjustable, is working just perfectly

     

    In the actual version of VecJoy box prototype, everything is quite tight.

     

    Richard H. will be working on my comments / suggestions to make it even better I think !

     

    It works both for Rolo's kit V1 (although not tested on my side) and Version 2.

     

    Now the pictures :

  5. I noticed this issue also on my Madtronix Multicart...Did not try to do it on all the games though ! Otherwise, indeed, my Vectrex would be down by now.

     

    I would be happy to get a solution...

     

    Ah and yes, my multicart is very recent (got it in December 2016)
