Actually they might not be resistors. They could still be caps just banded ceramic capacitors. Atari consoles are loaded with these things and it causes quite a bit of confusion for those that might...

Well again caution is needed as most of the pins generate up to about +5 on them when the system is turned on and average around +2.5v when the game is running with again the second to last pin being...

100nf as I haven't any pf caps on hand. But again, I don't think that is super critical in this case if all they are doing is trying filter out some noise from the expansion port. But again, the...

I can actually try and test the power consumption a bit tonight as well. I will just use my bench DC supply to run the Genesis during testing and note how much current it is drawing off the supply vs...

Well, I can more than happily take my va6 apart and see if it has that cap or not. If not, I can add one in and see if it makes a difference. I don't have any 100pf but I do have some other values I...

Yeap I don't doubt it as others have stated this as well. There are also others that have a va6 and above that haven't gotten it to work unless they had it attached to a SegaCD. All I know is that...

I've read in other places in other forums where quite a few who own Model 1 va6 seem to have issues with the game. My va6 NTSC US model 1 won't get past the copyright screen without the 32x or SegaCD...

Well, I've been trying since my last post to capture this. I can capture the system and game play at the same time using two camera, that isn't the issue. The issue is that I haven't been able to...

It is obvious when it happens because I changed out the power/access LED on my model 2 to a diffused blue LED about a year ago. So when standing up the play, I see it from the lower portion of my...

I got the standard edition of the game in the Megadrive packaging. So mine came in a standard clamshell with the cart in a standard black shell as well. But like many others, the DM cluster cap was...

This worked on my va6 that won't boot past the copyright screen. I attached it to the SegaCD and then waited until the title screen came up. At that point I carefully pulled the Genesis away and off...

I need to add something else. My model 1 va6 that won't boot the game without the SegaCD will also work if I have the 32x attached and NOT the SegaCD. So on that va6 the game will boot if I have it...

I added two more Genesis model 1 systems I have on hand to my testing in my post above.

Here are results of testing with my cart on some NTSC models I have on hand with my cart:

Note: These are results from the consoles themselves without any attachments-

Model 1 va2: Works...

Got mine this afternoon and I'm pleased to report that it seems to work just fine on my 1601 model Genesis. Specifically I have a va2 but it has quite a few modifications to it that I guess Paprium...

I will tell you right now that the ONLY mini controllers that work with the Astro City are apparently the 6button ones that shipped with the JPN megadrive mini. The 3 button ones I got with my US...

I haven't looked through all the 60 pages this new thread has now, but has someone started a hardware compatibility list yet? A member at AtariAge got theirs and reports that the trolling 8-bit game...

I wonder if it was confirmed that the issue with Dolphin Blue's stage 3 bug was due in part to some copy protection the game has programmed into it? It certainly was acting that way and the way they...

This is why I was asking if the glitching changed based on wiggle of the cart slightly. When it does it means the cart isn't making a good connection with the cartridge slot pins and you will get...

When the screen is glitched up like that, if you slightly touch the cart to press it lightly back or towards you while in the slot, does it change the graphics in the process?

My setup is simple but also complex and takes up quite a bit of space, but gives me a massive amount of freedom on connections. I use an older Extron 7SC AV selector. It can take inputs from...

The bare wire is in fact the ground shield wire for each one and so those bare copper touching wouldn't be an issue. It is interesting that the center wire is the one that breaks loose. Seems there...

The same thing will happen if you use one the more modern Genesis to 32x video patch cables. In that instance just having the 32x plugged in causes the Genesis to be powered on and the on/off switch...

I also agree that it should at least be locked but not deleted. Like Zebbe stated above, it can be reopened should actual relevant news become available.

I agree and that was a good thought. But as the issue is so random it could be something specific on this SMS that is fine 99% of the time and only occasionally does this. I've told my client that...
