Re: Who wants a MAGROM board?

Quick status update: The software has been developed a little further, there are 38 games on the current rom. To save a little bit of wear on the the expansion connector the rom will now only boot if the space bar is pressed at reset. Without the space bar the MTX will boot to Basic as normal. Testi...

Source of Confusion

Those of you that have copies of the Source, it it me, or has Keith got the sound volume control bytes all confused on page 11-5 ? Shouldn't it be 080h OR'd with 010h 030h 050h and 070h to make 090h 0B0h 0D0h and 0F0h to identify the sound register, which is then added or OR'd to the volume to get t...

Re: Case/Extension Cable?

Obviously, I'm used to seeing chunks of random electronics hanging off the side of my MTX.

However, I was wondering, how well would a re-memorizor fit into one of the SDX cases.

Could be used as a sort of template for a case ???

Re: What other retro machines do you have?

Fignition probably is even newer, but very retro.

Re: What other retro machines do you have?

Looking a the black capacitor, I don't much like the look of the joint of the "top" leg.

Re: Who wants a MAGROM board?

There's an nice bonus that comes with using your mods to the circuit. I don't need to store the extra 3 shadow copies of the ROM 7 code that were required to "fix" the original prototype. That's 24k more game space! I've currently got 38 games squeezed in, it's now just about reached the l...
