HELP! MEGA CART TROUBLES!

Post by Spectrum »

Hello everybody!

I have a big issue about my Mega Cart. It always worked well, but suddenly the available games became just few (5 or 6). This is true both for the cartridge and the tape games. I think the utilities and the demos are OK.

I tried the Mega Cart on two different Vic and I already cleaned the cartridge. What could it be?

Any idea?

I am very sad, the Mega Cart is my fav tool on the Vic20. :cry:

Have you tried resetting the nvram where the config is stored? Tells you how in the instructions.

Or maybe you have a filter applied that shows only some games.

Yeah, my first thought is a filter applied.

Hi!
Thank you for your reply!
I did not. I will try. I checked the instructions but I didn't notice such possibility. I was too much in PANIC! lol

Other friends here are saying that it could also be a problem related to the filters.

I will check my MegaCart as soon as possible.

Thanks for your help!

Perhaps I just did it by mistake. I will check it.

I will check the filters. I don't remember I applied any filter, but maybe I did it by mistake.

Thank you everybody!

The problem was the filter indeed.
I was so panicked that I didn't properly check the Cart and all the possibilities.

I'm SO happy!
