The same computer acts up with FE3 and MegaCart as well when in "Full RAM" or 32k+3k mode, so even though Dorktronic is free from guilt there seems to be a problem with that computer there's BLKx > BLK0 errors on both of them one per BLK on MegaCart and two or three with the FE3. I also ge...

I've got a VIC-20 that acts up, 9VAC handwarmer version, if BLK0 and BLK5 are activated at the same time I get crosstalk with the test program. Doesn't matter if I did the VR/W on the Dorktronic RAM, same anyway. With the MegaCart and FE3 I only have crosstalk in one direction. I think there's a pro...

My Dorktronic RAM resulted in even more crosstalk this time from other BLK > BLK5 as well, MegaCart and FE3 only had > BLK0 errors. But that's when it's set to 32k+3k - which doesn't seem to be a standard memory setting, did someone just try the 32k+3k mode at one time and it seemed to work - on tha...

I have a RAM expansion similar to the dorktronic one shown here (eaxctly the same but no dorktronic-text): http://sleepingelephant.com/ipw-web/bulletin/bb/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=7910&p=86186&hilit=k3ys#p86202 I'd be surprised if my troublesome machine would work with that instead but I cou...

No special considerations have been taken in regards to that, I know I have one computer that Doom doesn't work on, I believe I used the Mega Cart, it worked on two others but not the usual one. The crosstalk.prg - it never really says it's "OK" it tells BLK x SEG y PRESENT and then READY ...

Looks very 1541U-II inspired - with double bumps instead, 1541U-II the camel version... I finished a build in a plain shell, works nicely even if it was a tight fit - had to shave a little to more easily get it loose again after pushing it in. I drilled holes for LEDs under the label - looks very ni...

Heard that story as well, but why did it spread back where it started as Puckman is the question.

That's right, they didn't use a hyphen in Puckman, looks like there's a small space though in some googled images.
I think Pac-Man rolls easier in the mouth than Puckman... but who knows.

So the Japanese aren't much for dumping roms? Seems in all this time someone would have made a dump.

Just tried to hint that all that is needed is to send an adapter to the guy that has the cart... if it's important.

Seems to me it's the label that is rare and probably not much else but you never know until you've checked. I wonder why they called it PACMAN and not PAC-MAN.

It would be quite possible to ship hardware that allows dumping... if anyone that is interested in getting a dump has that available. I'm thinking a cartridge in-between adapter, then direct a read of the cart to disk (perhaps with reinsert and reboot and a few dumps), which can even be done from BA...

When doing inventory (looking for something else further into the storage area) I noticed I had a nice cartridge with The Count, aluminium label - but with a few bruises on the metal label so I'm looking to get a better version as all the others look a lot better than this particular one. If you hav...

I posted the double language version as well:

Eslapion, it seems I made a mistake there, not sure why it happened, it has been there since 2014 when I first traced the original PCB and decided to make a footprint in EagleCAD instead of placing manual pads. Nobody has noticed... Luckily it should do no harm. I will correct it for future boards -...

Here's a double language version with an original bug also corrected. If you want only "original" stuff in GB20 then you can remove all the lower files beginning with e, remove start and rename fstart to start. But I think most people will understand more of the English one. ;-) http://sle...

Latest edition, double languages, some corrections made, removed an original bug regarding number of players.
