Bmack36 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) Just starting a new thread now that the Phoenix has started shipping. I will be updating this post with more information. -Up to date cores attached (Uploaded older stable CV version) (Make sure when you download and copy onto the sd card that the file name doesn't change and that it doesn't append any (1) or anything like that.) Updated CV Core (07/21/20) Rev 7 CORE01.PHX -Re-written SN and AY sound modules -Fix for early Opcode games (Magical Tree, Road Fighter, and sky jaguar) Atari 2600 Core(03/14/20) Rev 4 CORE02.PHX Changes: -Preliminary Cartridge support -2nd player can now be controlled with colecovision controller in port 2 Service Menu (11/23/19) Rev A0 SERVICE.PHX Install by pressing # to go to service menu and then press 3 to install service. Changes: -Added core revision display on install and load core screens --------------------------OLD Cores------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Atari 2600 Core CORE02.PHX Updated CV Core (11/23/19) Rev 6 CORE01.PHX Changes: -Changed Keyboard detection fix from port 30 to 31 to fix issue with Courtney -Changed back to Courtney sound chip from generic AY chip -Speech in Wizard of Wor and QBIQS fixed -still might need a few audio mixing tweaks -Fixes to F18a settings menu CV Core(11/13/19) Rev 5 CORE01.PHX Changes: -Changes to the audio mixing -Added menu on boot or reset for scanlines/flicker. Also works on sd loader If you hold * or # on reset or power on, it will take you to a menu where you can adjust scanlines and flicker. This should fix the issue with 55AA games. -Put in M1 wait to fix ntsc/pal detection on QBIQS -Changed Front LED to Yellow for CV core. This should help with power backfeed detection as the red LED should stay on after power is turned off if the issue is present. Github pages for the Colecovision and 2600 cores have been setup below. You should now be able to report bugs in the corresponding repositories. https://github.com/CollectorVision Check the know issues here: https://github.com/CollectorVision/Phoenix-Colecovision/issues Edited July 22, 2020 by Bmack36 5 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear they started shipping! I assume they are shipped at or near the order they were preordered? I'm probably around the middle of the batch. How long are we expecting batch #1 to complete shipment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they are shipping in order. I think I should be fairly low on the list. They announced the sale around 10:30pm my time via Kickstarter backer email, and I ordered shortly after 5:30am the next morning. Edit: It appears mine is on the way, and due to be delivered Saturday. Looks like it shipped 10/27. I never got a tracking number or any notification it shipped (unless it landed in the junk folder). But USPS has a service you can enroll in to track mail and packages. As soon as a package is scanned in to their network, they auto add it to my dashboard. Which is how I found it this morning.

I sat there watching the kickstarter run out (I was a backer) and probably should have ordered right then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandor Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Do we get a shipping notice or will it just show up?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Mine showed up yesterday thanks very much. I'm hoping to try it out tonight. For those asking, I did not get a shipping notice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphro72 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) Got machine gun sound like in AtariLeaf’s video in other thread. Tried different HDMI so it isn’t the cable. Will have to try another tv but hopefully it can work on that tv Edited November 2, 2019 by zaphro72 Removed videos as I can’t get size small enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmack36 Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 First post updated with updated core. The changes for Telebunny have been taken out as it was causing an issue with the sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+eebuckeye Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Any chance of 1080p without the F18 in the future? Maybe for the 2600 core too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The changes for Telebunny have been taken out as it was causing an issue with the sound. Brian, I do think you should include a changelog with each core release. This way people will then know (i) if the update is one that will benefit or is of interest to them, and (ii) where fixes are included in the update, users then know what they are and so can verify they work with their specific setup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldschool80skid Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Hi Brian, Does the CV core offer in game pause for games that did not originally have this feature? If not, would this be a feature offered in a future core update? Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 So as of now with the new update, Telebunny cartridge does not work now? If not, is it something that can get fixed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Phruby Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I think I have a bad unit. I can't run any cartridges. Every cartridge including Syndey Hunter brings up a white screen. If I start without a cartridge, I get the startup and then a list of colecovision roms. I've updated both cores found a the top of this page. I'm going to try a different tv.

Some TVs backfeed power to the system which keeps the system from powering all the way off. The best way to fix it is to use a HDMI switch inbetween the tv and Phoenix. Inserting some original games, like DK Jr., into the system when the power is off can actually power the system down and allow it to come back up. The other temporary option is to unplug the HDMI cable and put it back in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Phruby Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Other TV returns a white screen with any cartridge. Without cartridge, I get white wavie lines. No picture. So far not impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmack36 Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 Try unplugging the HDMI and power then turn on the system with no cartridge. Does it boot up the first time? Is it only powering off the system and then turning it back on that generates the white screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphro72 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 So SFC controllers don’t work for 2600 core correct? Right now the machine gun sound like atarileaf posted isn’t happening on the 2600 core but haven’t been able to start a 2600 game yet, just load them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmack36 Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 Yes you can use a SFC controller on Atari core. To start games on the core you have to select load rom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a cartridge, it is in black and white with the switch. I've even restarted the switch. I'll try it directly now.

Bmack36 Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 Press either Left fire on cv controller or select start on the menu. You can close the menu with 1 on the cv controller. Which game are you trying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
