Home Page Forums MAME MAME Hanimex Pencil 2 - vdp interrupts

Nice. Hopefully we can get the remaining games dumped before they bitrot.

So in essence, aside from differences in dimensions, pencil 2 carts are coleco carts correct?

Right, which is why there was a cartridge converter.

I see. Speaking of which, I'm curious regarding the innards of said converter.

It shouldn't have any innards from what plg said. It's purely making the connections work.

I thought the bios was different and incompatible? assuming cart space can completely override system space, I guess it contains a compatible bios?

The ColecoVision carts insert perfectly in the main slot.

[EDIT] guess there is a CV compatible bios and some glue chips and thats it in the adapter

*NOT MY PICTURE*


I'm confident I can just hook up a 27128+switch and have the bios change from one to the other.

I was saying...

Just tried one game. Surely the switch from 1KiB to 2KiB of RAM will cause issues to some game assuming mirroring. I'll try a few more later.

Didn't find a non working ColecoVision game so far (tried 20 or so)

Scanned the PCBs
