Shawn Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Hey, Anyone got a copy of the 7800 BIOS with Asteroids on it? Only catch is I need it to be NTSC where I know it was common to PAL machines I dunno if it was a different file\hacked file for use on the NTSC 7800. Cheers & thanks, Shawn Sr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers & thanks, Shawn Sr. It actually detects whether it's on a PAL or NTSC machine and adjusts the DLL accordingly. The code to do so is rather clever, and I plan to use it someday.

Just ignore the name, like Bruce said, it will work fine on either PAL or NTSC machines. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdie3 Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Don't you have to re-wire something on the MoBo for this to work properly or can you just pop one in? This would work well in the socketed 7800 boards if you can do it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can still get those for $20 from Best Electronics or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
