Heaven/TQA Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Matthias, maybe you can help. My freezer does not work anymore (5 years not plugged in) and I tried to flash it and does not matter if FL switch is open or closed... When I press red button no menu appears and attached screenshot when I run flash.com When I have a cart insert in the freezer it does hang my 130xe weather it's Rescue on Fractalus XE cart or my Spartados x cart flashed on a atarimax 8mbit cart.

Heaven/TQA Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 ok... in my 65xe it works... so it seems the 130xe got issues with the cart port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guus.assmann Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) It may also be the connector on the 130XE. Try it a couple of times, push it in and take it out. That may clean the connector a bit. Also I found that sometimes the Freezer should not be pushed in all the way, but stop just 1 mm before the end. On the freezer connector there may also be some dirt. Try rubbing it clean with an erazor-rubber.

JAC! Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I remember it requires +5V on the respective pins of the expension board (46/48 I think) which are NOT there by default in most XE/XL machines. The 65 Xe might have it/be modified in that regard.Do you take +5V from the Joystick port with the separate cable? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Works now.... Seems connectors... Freezer works, old carts, XE carts... Only atarimax flashcart seems to have issues with this machine... But I flashed Sparta dos x on the freezer so that works, too. Never used that feature... damned emulators... You totally forget how to use real metal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
