Mitch And does this one have any troubles with games that use various eproms? It seems this machine works well with some and glitches hard or doesn't work at at all with others. EDIT: This machine in question works perfect with retail games I will add, it's only carts with eproms that give it troubles.

Did you check the voltage regulator to see if it is weak? Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) I don't remember if it did or not. Did you check the voltage regulator to see if it is weak? Mitch Yep, replaced it with 2 different brands just to be sure. I have no clue why it does this. It's very strange. It's only the second 7800 I've ever owned that acts like this. EDIT: As mentioned it's only with some brands of eproms as well. Funny thing is I BIOS modded it and it didn't mind that at all. Never an issue but an eprom in a game? Best hope it's a brand she likes or otherwise....nada. Edited July 8, 2016 by Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 7800's are fricking weird, I have 5 at hand and only one can map all unused memory to a RAM chip. If that wasn't the case, the world would have a sick ass PCB by now. At best, right now, I could make one that does 144K (or 272K, or 528K), plus 6K RAM and POKEY. But on the one board I have, I can map all extra memory to RAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Are they bankswitched games or just plain invertor plus EPROM? Likely a timing issue regardless. Mitch Bankswitched games. EPROM + inverter works fine IIRC. 32k and under was ok but again, I've not bothered with it in a while. I just use it to test odd brands of eproms agenst it when doing batches of homebrews or repros just to make sure I don't use a brand that random 7800's won't work with. Nothing more embarrassing than sending a cart to someone that won't work for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 It may be the PAL/GAL chip you are using. I have seen that problem before. If you are using large EPROMs using the slowest speed you can find usually works better for me on those picky 7800s. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambler172 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Up to Willard, but I doubt I know anyone else with more 7800's. i lknow someone but unfortunately in germany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapicco Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) Hi, I would like two ntsc carts. Is there a tentative release date? Edited July 17, 2016 by Sapicco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jongolo Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I hate to say it, but I'm kind of glad you can turn off the music and leave the sound effects on. When the carts become available, I would definitely like to buy an NTSC one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
