Cartridge games on tape - help

Post by Tonks »

I picked up quite a few tapes that have cartridge games on them, but I cannot load them. How can I get these to work? One i particularly want to get working is Jelly Monsters as my Cart died about two years ago.

You need a memory expansion of 8K or more that can be configured into at least block 5. What memory expansions do you already have?

Theoretically, they can be modified to become fully switchable. It depends on how good you are with a soldering iron and want to cut holes into the cartridge case (perhaps best done with the 16K cartridge, as it then will support more configurations). Or buy a 32K expander from Eslapion, those should be fully switchable...
