Someone threw all the files at me years ago, and it's a giant mess. Assembly source, I could hack some perl together to process into a form that a modern assembler could chew on. It wouldn't be that hard to pull the Forth interpreter out of Gorf and hope that its opcodes match whatever was...

We met once... I chose to socialize with people I already knew. Oh look... more lies. You really have an overinflated since of importance, don't you.

I'm sure you have, you ignorant, pathetic troll.

No, we don't. You're an NEACF newbie. I haven't used social media since before the election, kiddo. I leave that sewer to you. Let me guess -- Media Lab? Funded by Epstein?

What value do you think your provide to this forum? Hint: Sniping at knowledgeable members is not value.

Most of it is in Forth -- it's intended for Astrocade since those games were also primarily written in Forth.

...and you missed the point that the problem doesn't require any sort of specific expertise, only basic soldering skills to replace the sockets... LOL. The trolls didn't need to reply.

Of course I have... I've learned a lot more. You should try that sometime instead of belittling those who know far more than you do.

There's nothing contradictory about recognizing many people don't possess they skills they should have. This "repair" is literally about just replacing a bunch of sockets. If you were smart enough to google my kit, you might figure out how many people use it (and even find the bootlegs of the...

The reset circuit only cares about 12V to prevent spurious writes to the CMOS at powerup/powerdown. It has nothing to do with DRAM corruption. If you're still getting RAM errors during self-test you still have RAM issues / RAM interface issues.

Must be for all the incisive repair advice he posts here, right? Since you're so impressed with 4-1 pacman multigames, do you need a link to the schematics, and source code for the 6-1 kit I posted for free 17-18 years ago? I assume zero skill. It's a pretty safe assumption.

LOL They're the exact same design as the original MPUs, only with (more reliable) MOSFET drivers instead of BJT drivers which require a preamp. ...and the PCBs themselves are higher quality than what was made in the 80s, with better sockets, better headers, and no battery corrosion. "Nobody...

The old 2 beer limit at Charlton was a bummer, but after a couple pints of 9% baltic porter, you really don't need another pour. The real problem is having a tap-list 60 deep where you can never get to try anything (less in Tewksbury). It's worth the trip just for the pizza, but they tend to...

The T11 is basically a hacked down PDP11 on a chip. Keep meaning to ask some of the DEC old timers at work if they remember the T11, but that was probably before their time.

I was being positive, clown. Pacman is so damn simple that anyone should be able to fix it. ...what's negative is pretending it's super complex and there's only 1-2 people who could possibly fix it, and there's no way they could figure it out themselves...

LOL! Pacman has to be the best documented and easiest board to work on. Anyone who can't replace a socket has no business in this hobby.

That probably wouldn't be very difficult... ...particularly if starting from commented Atari source code so you don't need to figure out all of the memory addresses / and reverse engineer the subroutines...

Looks like it's intended to run on Atari System 2 hardware. It'd be worth hacking the ROM names and trying to get it to run with one of the existing MAME drivers.

I was bored over the weekend, so I removed all of the code that utilized the ALU from Sky Skipper and patched all the data that required the shifter. The new code seems to run in MAME, but I need to pull out some original hardware to test it for real.

If the ROM is corrupt, it's probably not repairable -- unless you can find someone with a working board to dump a good copy. You should have dropped the board off when I was at Treehouse Tewksbury last Thursday :) Been meaning to get over there to try Hopothecary -- haven't been to Oak and...
