Yes that is a very good article, anyone with a new forum should read it. Now that HostelGaming can see where he's gone wrong, I'm closing this. Take note of this quote from the Board Rules Any more spam and action will be taken.

Another spam thread. Any more stuff promoting your site Raelian1 and you can say bye bye. Religion sux and causes more division in this world than anything else and we don't need it here.

Warm is norm, hot is not. If the test mode fails to work, you will have to check the voltages and waveforms on the Z80 and the eproms. The test mode is described in the Technical Manual on pages 31 and 32, although it's not referred to as the test mode. I don't know if you have the Assembly Manual, if you do, read page 19. The required modification for 2532 eproms is listed on page 2 of Appendix F of the Technical Manual, and page 16 of the Assembly Manual. Look at the bottom of the board, under U26 (monitor rom), and if you can see a cut track then it's already done. The other mod, involving some extra ICs, is detailed on page 14 of the Assembly Manual. edit: oops, i forgot to welcome you to 1emulation!!

I can see it. You have 48k ram with 12k of roms, that is good. I would say that the characters probably are "?", that makes more sense. OK, now for the dipswitches. (0 = closed, 1=open, X=don't care) A B C D 1 0 X X TEST PAGE 3E 1 1 X X TEST PAGE C0 0 0 X X START IN BASIC 0 1 X X START IN MONITOR X X 1 1 16K RAM X X 0 1 32K RAM X X X 0 48K RAM You can set the RAM switches to any position if you think there might be some faulty ram. The test mode does not use any RAM, it only uses the monitor rom. What happens is that the screen, the relay and the LED will turn on and off at a slow rate (4 secs and 8 secs). When you installed the 2532 eproms, did you cut the track as needed? There is a recomended modification involving a couple of extra ICs. Once you get the machine to boot up, you should add the modification.

Not really creepy, but while I was at my new house last week, I was still there at night time, and I happened to open a window and I could hear this munching noise right outside. There was no moon (cloudy) and all I could make out was this vague black shape that very slowly moved away, munching all the while. I was thinking, what the hell is it?? I was about to leave in a few minutes anyway, so I backed the car around that part of the house and I could see it was a big black wombat. Nothing to worry about at all! It ran down the driveway, out the gate and jumped into a drainage ditch just outside. I closed the gate on the way out. Hopefully that wombat doesn't get run over some time, they have an unfortunate habit of wandering onto roads and they can get quite large.

Not here either. For us it's just another day. One year some kids came around and said "Trick or treat", and I said Trick. That freaked them out and they didn't know how to respond.

I agree, it didn't make much sense to me.

It's a bit hard to choose when there's not much info available, especially the PS3. The wii sounds good from what i've heard, especially if it plays nes/snes stuff (bad for the emulation community tho). If the PS3 turned out to be desirable, i would steal one and not give Sony the satisfaction of getting my money.

The screen wiggling is normal because the vertical frequency is about 49 hz and it beats with the 50 hz of your tv, creating a 1 hz disturbance. The only way to get rid of it is to use a good quality green-screen monitor. I'm not sure about the ] characters, never seen that before. What happens if you turn on the test mode? I am near Campbelltown. How much RAM do you have? Are the dipswitches set properly?

Springwood is probably easier to get to, traffic-wise, than Epping is. What video output do you get?

Nice, I'll check it out later.

Try playing the Beatles "Revolution No.9" forwards and backwards and try to make some sense of it.
