Hi - I have an untested (likely not working) Gorf PCB set and I'd like to find someone that is able to test, troubleshoot, and fix? Would be super helpful so I can continue on a full Gorf restore project.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Your best bet is to find someone local that has a working Gorf so you can test each of your boards one by one to localize the problem. If you can't find anyone PM me. I have a test rig setup so if you ship me your boards I will test them for you. Repair is another story but if you want to start by determining which boards work/don't work you can go from there.
@Commander Dave - would you be able to fix a bad Gorf PCB?
Perhaps if I had a test jig but that would be a long wait. I'm not a professional repair guy, I just play one on KLOV. -Dave
I was trying to get around to building a Gorf test harness. I'd love to see a few pictures so I don't reinvent the wheel.
Hahaha.
I have yet to start on my wizard of wor... Which shares some boards with gorf...
Can you test a gorf set in wor? I would think so... But i dunno
... But of course my test rig does include your test ROM!
I was really proud of that until Mark Spaeth found it didn't catch all the memory errors and rewrote it in like 1 day. Must be nice to be that smart. Great for the community but kinda sad for me. I recently pulled mine from ionpool.net so people wouldn't get confused. You can find the Spaeth version there and would use it so any errors are caught. Ah, but you brought back some good memories.Thanks!
The other trick I learned is that sometimes if you can't read the error because of graphics issues to pull the RAM card out of the stack and the background goes solid which makes it easier to read.
Well, you sure made me feel better! I should write a version that talks and tells you the error in case you can't read the screen. It's not that hard to make it talk. LOL
