+save2600 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 How about tron or hero? Seem to be buggy on mine. Never had a problem with either TRONs or H.E.R.O. on any of my 7800's. Just verified to be sure too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sn8k Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I've never had a problem with any game I put in mine other than oddly shaped carts that either dont fit or have to be crammed in pretty hard. All my Atari 2600 carts fit and oddly enough some of my 7800 carts barely fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oyamafamily Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 All 7 cartridges for 2600 which I own are working on my 7800 ProSystem VCS Console, including 2 Polyvox cartridges made in Brazil - Defender and Yars' Revenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evietron Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Two stumpers for me on a later generation 7800 are Congo Bongo and Masters of the Universe. Congo Bongo crashes on load, and Masters of the Universe shows the title screen but won't move the ship. These are using my BackBit cart. When I run these with the same exact setup on a 2600 Jr they work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the console's difficulty switches, the A-B positions are reversed on the 7800 compared to the 2600. Per the game's manual: On 10/26/2022 at 5:35 AM, evietron said: Congo Bongo crashes on load...using my BackBit cart. When I run these with the same exact setup on a 2600 Jr they work fine. This is something likely related to a compatibility issue with the BackBit cart, rather than a compatibility issue with Congo Bongo. It could possibly be the BackBit cart is presenting the Sega F8 cart data or/and behavior with a slight difference that is consequently impacting the 7800. An original Congo Bongo cart works fine for me under all my 7800 consoles. FWIW, Congo Bongo also runs perfectly fine under my 7800 systems with a Harmony or Harmony Encore cartridge for the 2600, and under the Harmony Concerto for the 7800.

evietron Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) Thanks Trebor for your input. The difficulty switch worked on Masters of the Universe. For Congo Bongo, if I wait for 0xfffx access after reset before serving ROM then it works. Funny how it's just that one game, but I suspect it might have something to do with 2600 cart detection code and the bus interfering with that. So that means BackBit now supports all known original titles for 2600/VCS. Edited October 28, 2022 by evietron 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
