LouisB Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) Hello, I’m attempting to create / re-create a VIC-20 cartridge of the game “Sky Blazer” by Broderbund. I have two working CRT files (confirmed working by loading them into Vice, attaching the 8KB Images at $6000 and $A000 respectively.) I had some 16K ROM Cartridge PCB’s made using the Eagle files from this thread and burned a 27128 with the CRT files concatenated together. I also removed the first two header bytes from each CRT which appear to be an address header. I tried with $6000 first then $A000, and the other way around and nothing loads up when I power on, I’m assuming it will auto-boot? Anyone have advice on how to test if the cartridge is loaded into memory? Thanks p.s. I'm pretty sure the default jumpers on the card (blocks 3 & 5) line up with $6000 & $A000 EDIT: And I just realized in my rush to make this last night, I forgot to add the .1Uf capacitor, I'll solder that on and re-test! crt.zip Edited November 20, 2022 by LouisB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouisB Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 Still not working with the capacitor. I'm starting to wonder now if my PCB is correct. I'll do some tracing on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouisB Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) Ok nevermind, I found a pin on the back I forgot to solder 🙄 and it's working now with default jumpers, $6000 & $A000 concatenated in that order. p.s. i'm attaching the PCB gerber as well in case it's useful for someone Vic16K-G_P_2022-10-04-Gerber-GOOD.zip Edited November 20, 2022 by LouisB 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
