Thanks Martin, that runs ok (I only tried it with expansions, i.e. 32k card and MAGROM, both internal).

Ok I cleaned all contacts, reseated chips, tried internal as well, still get the same behaviour unfortunately. Each game fails with a consistent symptom, but each is a little bit different. Arcazians (I forget the spelling!) actually gets to the game title screen, but pressing 1 or 2 to start the ga...

Thanks Mark, the machine does run simple BASIC programs so works to some degree at least. I'll double check the edge connector later.

I will try Dave, as well as try the MAGROM internally, and in the other machine. It won't be quick though unfortunately as my other machine is in storage at a different address currently.

I really appreciate your help btw guys, I'm quite sure this is a machine problem rather than MAGROM problem.

Thanks Martin, the memory peek returns 1.

Hi Dave, I haven't tried other games, or a Rememorizer, I'm afraid. All standard ROMs therefore. (I have another 512 which I use Rememorizer with.)

Yes Dave, same as that. I tried setting the jumper "wrongly" too (to MTX500 mode), and didn't get the game menu at all then - just a basic prompt with an error code (I forget exactly what, but it wasn't full of numbers like the screen above).

I received my MAGROM today so many thanks to Dave and Martin. I'm using it externally initially for testing, on an MTX500 expanded to 512 level, so have set the jumper to MTX512 mode. The menu does run correctly but I'm not having much luck running any of the games. I suspect this points to an issue...

I have hit a problem now though - I can copy files to my card apparently fine (they show up in the virtual Z drive anyway), but after I hit enter to disconnect the drive, and then reconnect it again, the new files aren't there. Is there a step necessary to "commit" the files perhaps?

So I RTFM'd properly and got it working, sorry.

Just in case anybody else is similarly confused (unlikely I know), I needed:
