Laser 2001 & Salora Manager - official thread

[@username@]

The Salora advert is strange, in that it just advertises creatiVision software.

Now we need to find a Laser 2001 advert!

I finally got an original Joystick for the Laser 2001, to use on my Salora ;0)

It will need some Retrobrighting (i will do some lightbrighting as soon as the sun comes out :0))

Wow! Have you had a chance to test if it works yet?

[Scouter3d]

Yes, it works! only strange thing is: in Astro Pinball the left and right firebuttons are switched... very strange...

Great finding.
Yes Astro Pinball on Manager plays with inverted joystick buttons.

I am still not 100% sure the CV and Manager cartridges are different.

The quick patch to invert the fire buttons for Astropib.bin is to switch the tests at $AE14, file offset $E15

Code: Select all

00000E15: 22 11
00000E19: 11 22

Hi,

i got a scan from a vintage german computermagazin showing a Laser 2001 prototype...
PS: I will send the PDFs of the whole article to MADrigal also.
