RE: Sharp and NEC MMC chips -

The Sharp MMCs always managed to work, even on games that have been reported as not working...the NECs not so much. In the example of NES Open Golf - I replaced the NEC with a Sharp and got NTRQ to work. I even burned the game back onto an EPROM to test the soldering, and it worked, so I'm convinced it's the MMC.

RE: PR8 -

I can get it to start/play around for a bit, but it *will* crash after a few minutes of use.

RE: Pulsar -

I use the same method  as PR8, but it runs corrupt and is basically unusable.

RE: Reset -

Pushing reset basically fucks everything up no matter what on PR8/Pulsar. It's almost as though it doesn't fully clear any leftover data.

I've tested various boards, EPROMs, burns, systems, weekdays, batteries and alignments of planetary bodies. No solid answer.

no, like "live" game boy music

Tested. Cases/buttons will not take the dye. Kitsch's S/S buttons took the black better than the original S/S buttons did.

I have used these in a c64, vic20 and a600 with decent results. Ordering two of the same screens does not guarantee you *won't* end up with two completely different boards.

I believe you can purchase one of those off-brand reverse screens for your car and throw one in as well. The picture, I'm assuming, would look MUCH better. Not too sure about power consumption.

I'm glad he went ahead and assumed the uploaders were the original composers.

A quick update - I managed to get Pulsar to start, but it now displays the same behavior as PR8 (freezing after a minute or two of use). It also seems buggy with chain/block recognition, but I don't know if that is due to the nature of the hacked cart or if it's part of what Theta_Frost had mentioned.

On a different note -  when looking at the MMC you can tell the manufacturer by the "S" or "N" after the MMC number. I'm sure this is obvious, but I didn't feel like pouring through threads over at NESDev to confirm.

I'm still experiencing garbled screens/colors when hitting Reset. I think I may just sell all the tools off this weekend. The Powerpak is looking better by the hour.
