carlsson Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Do those cartridges hold together with a screw, or is it a battle with plastic tabs and/or glue to work with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two screws under the front label. The end portion of the label also straddles both halves. Ignoring the label, the shell easily falls/pulls apart after the screws are removed. That said, under normal/working operation, you won't need to open the cartridge, because the MicroSD cart slot is accessible from the right side of the cartridge, and the micro-USB slot is accessible from the left side (only required if you want different firmware). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if games don't have a "snow level", your cart will inherently give you the impression that it does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiberianSpForces Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Do any of the chips need programming/ coding done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be firmware that I'll load onto the Teensy. The code will be a variation of aotta's, because some things have been updated. After I've loaded the firmware, that's all the programming/coding that needs to be done. The code will be made available, in case anyone wants to update/customize it for their own purposes, or if someone wants to add new features. You could make your own splash screens or menus or whatever. You could make your own game that only uses the onboard screen, and power it by the microUSB port. The Teensy 4.1 also makes it very easy to go back to the original version, if required. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear that you reasonably easy can reuse the shells without risking them to snap into pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoGamer Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Put me down for one. I’ve been wanting an LTO and could never find one. Thanks for sending the newsletter that links to this thread! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazzeri Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Hey, that´s some great news! Hope I can finally give my Inty some deserved love! 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApolloBoy Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Just saw an LTO Flash sell for $430 today so I'm very interested in one as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) Put it in a cool looking box and I'm definitely in also!😄👍 Don't get me wrong with that comment, I will use it. I play all my games I get in boxes also because I am both a serious player and collector. I always enjoy the artwork on the boxes and they look great in my game cabinet that way.

Adamj91 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I'll definitely take one of these, finding a reasonably priced LTO about impossible. Loving the RTO name 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no, we need 2 of these. The black cart for the various intellivision 1's. With the label Not For Use on Intellivision II and the white shell compatible with the intellivision II. ** Note ** @5-11under the buttons should be stiff and hard to use on the white shell version. Not kidding, I would actually consider getting one of each... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool. I think I downloaded it on my PC. I'll check when I'm home later. Is there a link/info for getting the PCBs in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't put any info on my repo, but it's the usual way for getting pcb: zipping the "gerbers" folder and submit the zip file to one online pcb producer (i usualy use jlcpcb - cheaper - and sometimes pcbway). Be aware of shipping options, some are fast but expensive! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+5-11under Posted March 4, 2023 Author Share Posted March 4, 2023 Well, it took me way too long to get my new screen working, but it finally does. I'll order some new prototypes over the next couple of days, which should arrive within 2 weeks from now. If that works well, the next step is to make a few for some beta testers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+5-11under Posted March 6, 2023 Author Share Posted March 6, 2023 Quick update: The new prototype board has been ordered, and should arrive within a week and a half. The reset circuit and software has been tested on both a Model I and a Model II. The new screen is a 1.3" OLED, which should be good for people like me whose eyesight isn't what it used to be... . I've got one beta tester, but I could use a couple more. Beta carts will be regular price, but you'll get it a bit earlier than others will. Ideally the beta tester will test the cart on several systems, spend a bit of time pushing buttons, test a variety of games, and provide feedback. Let me know if you're interested.

+DZ-Jay Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Count on me for testing. I could use a lightweight solution to code/build/test on hardware. I currently use a CC3 with a JLP test harness, but it’s a bit unwieldy to handle it. dZ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For systems I have a model 1 with the System Changer mod, an INTV II with a Yannick RGB board and I've also got a Super Video Arcade on the way.
