Repair Division / Sonic 3 cartridge won't savegame
« Last post by Fix_Metal on May 21, 2013, 09:21:07 pm »
I just finished my Sonic3&Knuckles game, which reminded so much stuff.
It reminded that my Sonic3 didn't ever save games since I bought it (used, many years ago however).
The FRAM part isn't available on the market. Ramtron itself doesn't even have the datasheet anymore, plus they have been acquired recently by Cypress.
Since Cypress doesn't produce a direct replacement part (there's a 512x8 SRAM but too fast for this, 20ns vs 200ns required) I contacted some China IC seeker site.
I should have obtained 3xFM1208S-200CC brand new.
If somebody is having the same problem, I'm out for selling the 2 others.

It's been a while since I wanted to do this.
I made a layout using Eagle 6.1.0. I'm including pdf files for printing layout and infos for those who don't have the above.

Wow, great deal there!  I'm sure plenty of people will want to jump on this.

Oh cool, so that is a good amp.  :)

Are there any schematics around showing how to hook this up?  I assume there would be some passive components to use too like 75ohm resistors or some such.

SIG X68000 / Two cheap x68000s, who wants em! -- ON HOLD!
« Last post by BlueBMW on May 20, 2013, 06:37:21 am »
Both units are on hold!

Original model with 2mb ram (1mb onboard, 1mb internal expansion)
No cables, no keyboard, no video adapter. I'll throw in copies of the disks for Dracula (seen running in the pics)

All I have done to this one is replace the SRAM battery, everything else is still original (including the power supply) It runs fine, but I suspect at some point you'll want to do something with the power supply. Though these power supplies don't seem to fail as much as the "tetris block" power supplies in the ace/expert/xvi/030 models. Bottom line, I've got too many x68000s to fix up and I'd rather spend my time on the newer units. I'll be happy to try and answer any repair questions down the road, but I don't have time to offer repair services later.

Asking $150 + shipping. Its cheap because its as is and its 26 years old.

If you want an original keyboard with it add $60.






Also have an expert to sell too.

2mb Ram, swapped ATX power supply, SRAM battery replaced, video board caps changed.

Image has a slight twitch to it, worse when floppy drives are being accessed.  I think its related to the ATX supply not filtering as well as the stock one.   Not too noticeable, but I'll sell the unit cheaper because of it.  Floppy drives have been relubed and recapped.

Asking $200 for this one, only because of the good floppy drives.

Will include a keyboard for $60, but I've only got the one extra keyboard so whoever gets it first gets it! :P

I'd also second the THS7314, I use it for N64 and PCE/TG-16 RGB mods and it's never let me down.

THS7314 was the first style I built and was pleased with the results and simplicity.  It's a nice solution if all you care about is an RGB signal with few components.

People?,

 Could you please post pics of those random errors and comment on what happens when you switch them on ? If it's the dreaded black screen then CPU or the PPU-1 could be bad.

A few more things which you need to know about rust. The process starts if ambient moisture is above 40% and mostly affects matte and glossy metal parts. PCB' s are more immune to it. First signs of contaminated PCB will be a small corrosion on Vcc pins of IC's. The matte metal parts should be smooth to the touch. If they have some textured feel to it, clean them with contact cleaner, baking soda mixed with water (it really works and stops rust. tried and proven on my rusty Amiga 600) and then, preferrably, treated with commercial rust converter. Glossy parts are more immune but still can form rust. Please don't take this matter light-heartedly because sooner or later you will have to combat it.

Controller Technic / Mayflash adaptors...
« Last post by FlatWiiCCFan on May 19, 2013, 07:35:33 pm »
Old news by now, but I've had this thing since back when they were still a wired unit.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mayflash-Wireless-Controller-Adapter-Wii-Classic-Controller-PC-PS3-/280775463340?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item415f8591ac

Works fantastically.
Mayflash WIRELESS Wii Classic Controller to USB Adapter


And if the Classic Controller isn't to your liking, Mayflash is
also putting out adapters for PS3 Dual Shock and Wii U Pro.
http://www.mayflash.com/Products/NINTENDOWiiU/W009.html


Yeah, yeah. I know "Everyone who has a Bluetooth dongle,
a Wiimote and Glovepie, Bluesoleil, MotionJoy can do this already."

These adapters were / are geared more towards lazy folks like me
who just want a straight up USB solution with Direct Input. Just like
how Gametap and the Wii Virtual Console are geared more towards
the people who have no idea that emulators and roms exist.

There's always going to be someone out there who'll buy...

SIG X68000 / Re: In need of Human68K disk.
« Last post by efs on May 19, 2013, 03:55:36 pm »
A Gradius disk was sent with my X68000 from parity_dot. However, it is apparently lacking many Human68k components, including SWITCH.X.

If you could make me a copy, that would be super great.
