+5-11under Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 it's a new pcb. It might be something as simple as not aligning correctly in the slot or being the same thickness. I've had to shift the new carts back & forth several times before getting some to work but then they all worked just fine. I haven't noticed any problems, but I'll review the pin spacing and all that before I order any new boards (which could be a while). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digress Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 It's only a guess. Your PCB works great. I had no problems in an adam or colecovision with it. Not sure if everyone is using the same pcb or not. Probably not if some are megacarts etc. I haven't noticed any problems, but I'll review the pin spacing and all that before I order any new boards (which could be a while).

NIAD Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Thanks for testing chart45. I tested on my Super ADAM (plays all SGM games without the SGM) and the games didn't work at first, but did when I tested them again a couple days later. If I try them on my other ADAM (regular that doesn't play all SGM games without the SGM), I'm pretty sure that I will experience the same issues like you did. My guess is that both of your Memory Consoles will report a "Revision 80" chipset (turn on ADAM and press CONTROL and R keys at the same time before doing anything else and a new SmartKEY will display with the revision #) like the two loose consoles that I use all the time, so an older revision ADAM isn't the issue. Actually, an older revision ADAM shouldn't be a problem anyway since the ColecoVision Delta Board didn't change over the lifetime of the ADAM (that I am aware of), only the ADAM Logic Board went thru numerous revisions/changes. If you dump the games and place them on the AtariMax Ultimate SD Cart, then both games should work fine on the ADAM that couldn't play them. If you can test this and report back that would be great. If they play fine via rom image, then it has to be a matter of not clearing RAM/VRAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValkerieSilk Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Checked out a few of Crazy Boss' other CV&ADAM games and they all worked, so I decided to retest Telebunny on the same ADAM that I used previously... and it worked this time. I next tried Comic Bakery next and that one worked as well. WTF!!! The only thing different I did was play about four other carts before Telebunny and Comic Bakery, so I have no idea what is going on. Luc... try those games out again on your ADAM, but only after playing some other games first. ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
