Charlie_ Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I've had a Sean Kelly 5200 dip-switch Multicart for maybe 10 years now... Before the AtariMax products it was how I played 5200. I loved this thing. I tried to use it recently only to find that only games in bank 1 work. All the games that use dips 2-4 crash when starting, or have corrupt graphics. This really sucks! Anyone else have one of these go bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else have one of these go bad? Mine went bad. I asked Sean if he would fix it.(this was before I learned how to solder.) I sent it to him but never saw it again. Sean was not to good at soldering at the time so a lot of them have gone bad over the years. I've heard of about three others that went dead. You could have someone re-solder it for you.

Anyone else have one of these go bad? I had an SK multi go bad...I bought it from Digital Press a while back at their store. Luckily, they allowed me to exchange it. It had nutthin to do with "Da Dips" going bad though: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_ Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 Thanks for the replies. I was at the digitpress store just about an hour ago. I saw the dip switch multicarts. Just like the one I have but the label looked ugly and home made, not even cut out with nice edges. Mine has a very nice label. I did see a nice menu driven version there with a nice label. They want $90 for one. I think the Atarimax carts are worth the extra $40. Anyway... I looked over all the solder joints and everything seems OK. The labels placed over the "windows" on three of the chips easily fell right off. Funny enough it was chips 2-4, the ones that do not work.

+Mitch Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Yeah, you probably got some bitrot on those EPROMs. The same thing happened to mine quite a few years ago, I was able to get Sean to fix it but it took a while. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari5200dude82 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I have one . So far it is still working fine. I hope it continues doing so. How often do you play the multicart. I rarely use mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
