Greg2600 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Hey @batari, someone just posted this on the AA Facebook Group, maybe a lead re: 7800 adapter plugs? Quote I accidentally stumbled across this and figured I'd share. I was going to toss an old Sennheiser wireless headphones set out, when I noticed the power plug looked very familiar. It fits perfectly in the 7800, but the voltage and amperage are wrong, so I'm going to cut the wire and splice it on a power supply that is correct. You might be able to find this model power supply online and splice it on a 9V DC 1 amp (1000 mAh) to make your own. Make sure you get the polarity right so you don't blow the power cap in the console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Loguidice Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I received some in-stock emails, but missed out because I saw the emails after they were all snapped up. I haven't seen the emails for probably a week now and I don't see the reservation link on the order page. Does that mean everything is accounted for for the time being, or is there something I'm overlooking? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Please stick strictly to Concerto talk in this thread. If you want to advertise your own site/channel do so in another thread. It's just plain rude. 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve been over this before. These threads are *not* for you to pimp your social media stuff. Period. Stop freaking talking about it in these threads. You’ve been warned by several different moderators about it already. THIS THREAD IS NOT ABOUT YOU. Why don’t you get this? 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying "I'm going to review the Concerto and some other 7800 multicarts on my channel (xyz.whatever) check it out!" is fine. A five paragraph discussion about your channel, how you need to get to x number of viewers to get some upgrade, and how you're going to start performing somewhere are not. You know very well why what you did was wrong, and playing the victim isn't going to work. Do it again and you will get kicked out of the thread (and any other thread you continue to do this in). You'll find that I'm not a patient as some of the other mods around here. You've been warned. 5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, I can hear Commando/Ballblazer in POKEY, but the Popeye homebrew is not playing POKEY. @batarido we need a firmware upgrade in order to hear this ROMs POKEY sound? -Thanks and thank you for making these carts available.

+x=usr(1536) Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Is there a support thread / forum we can refer to for common issues and how to troubleshoot them? There're a couple of things going on with my cartridge and I'm wondering if anyone else has run into the same things I'm seeing, but I'd prefer to not clutter this thread with those kinds of discussions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Stamos Mullet Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I can confirm that a regular pokey from a Ballblazer fits in the concerto, in a normal 7800 cart case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will create a firmware thread to discuss this and other things. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I have an 800XL, that died due to an Ingot power supply many years ago. I have been meaning to schedule surgery for it, but have not had the time. I am assuming the pokey chip in the XL series is the same # of pins, and configuration as the concerto? If so, I will just use it until Fred's replacement chips are available, and then put it in the Concerto and the real one back in the 800XL.

CPUWIZ Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 For anyone who got theirs, what shipping method was used? Mine said it was shipped Saturday, but it isn't here yet. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
