Hi Chesh, Here my two cents: The Salora Manger / Laser 2001 has standard 9pin Joysticksockets, i know i played Sonic Invaders on it with a Standard Joystick... (but it uses only left / right and fire) I guess (only a guess!) most games use 4 or maybe the 8 directions, BUT (as i recall testing Color ...

Hi Chesh, great work!
if you create a PCB maybe you could add 2 additional standard (Ataritype) DB9 Joystick connectors (as seen on the Laser 2001, Salora Manager)

Hi Chesh,

you are welcome :0)

the CV has 3 internal regulators (+5v, -5v, +12V) switchmode alternatives sound very good!

Hi Chesh, your check-plan looks good! I would start with the external PSU (maybe it delivers too many volts AC?), then the internal PSU part (Bridge rectifier Diodes, Caps and the 3 Voltage regulators)... I had something similar on a Salora Manager, that i povided with -12V instead of -5V ... worked...

Oh! Yes, i understand!
come to think of it, my "Everycard" (CSL PCB with a few patchwires and cuts does exactly that (only for 1 x 32kb) ...
i had to unswap the swapped version of crosschase to work on it...

Wow! looks so gorgeous in black! I am still very "unsure" about the whole "ROM Bank swapping" Please correct me if i am wrong: the Creativision (in Hardware) has one continuous 32kb block of Space, that a ROM Cart can use as it pleases... All the existing Carts use either only the upper part of that...

Hi Gandi12, welcome!
Happy to see a forum member also from Austria!
We have developed the CSL Cart, the Audiointerface, the "Everycart" and the Creativision Datasette Interface, maybe you are interested? take a look around the forum to find out more about it...

Hi! Finally the first batch of 3D printed casings! 5pcs with special cutouts for the CSL Cart (Eprom in socket is to high, jumpers and LED) 5pcs without cutouts... i choose "orange" as it is my favourite color :0) Thanks to Daniel (LCD) for the Design and the printing! 20200924_202330.jpg 20200924_2...

Hi,

i think part of the problem (the biggest part) is the MAME/MESS emulation itself, as there are no 32kb original carts...
maybe there is a need to define a 2*16kb cartridge scheme for MAME

the real hardware has no problem with the 32kb...
