How can it make sense to flash anything if you still have loading times? The flash memory of the thing isn't much faster than the SD card. Why not start games directly from SD?
is any 1 good with the Dragon 32 here? i need to know because im stuck with a small program called wordproc (its a wordprocessor) for the Dragon 32 in machine code (language) binary assembly - does any1 know what the start end exec values are for this program? thanks.................
AtariAge is great for anything Atari related. forums.atariage.com/ might help with finding a RF modulator replacement. For the S Drive Max it is an open source system so you can buy from various places. I got mine from eBay a few years back. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/173710208225 for example.
Do you mean a game that you had to type in from a book or magazine? I am not familiar with any Dragon specific magazines, but they are probably online.
I just installed mine but it won't play 3/4th of the games that it did by cd. I have the firmware file on the microsd, I can pick the games but only 1 out of 5 play. Anyone known why this might be happening?
I havent had any issues with compatibility from what I remember. My guess it would be the CD images are bad. Try downloading from another source and see if that fixes it.
@RetroGamingBanter the lord doth answer mein prays. Someone on Reddit invited me to the fenrir discord and a guy had me fixed in about 20 minutes. I abandoned the two micro 64gb sd's and bought a new 128, and he had me download the firmware, not the one that fenrir has on the website, one that's 4 months newer and possibly by the creator. Every single game works now praise his name. 🙏
Didn't watch the whole video- but if you go over to the Atariage forum for the 2600+ they have the firmware update available and discussions on improvements.
Yeah I mention it later in the video. Footage was recorded with the first beta update, but I have the second update installed now which has some more improvements. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great video, i just got my fenrir duo it’s working great except that I’m having an issue where some times when I power on it skips the game menu and goes to the settings screen instead and act as if I still have a disc drive in it. Then try searching for a disc do you know what could possibly be causing this problem?
I haven't had this issue myself. You could ask in the Fenrir discord channel at discord.gg/5Nsu5YJhjv The developers and many owners of the Fenrir are there, so one of them will know the issue. Hope that helps.
Yeah very easily. Its actually useful as a RF to HDMI convertor for video capture or just RF input from old consoles in general. Plug the RF cable from a console into the Amstrad MP-3 modulator, then use a CPC plug to Scart cable for 'RGB' output on the MP-3 to connect a OSSC, then HDMI output that to a monitor/capture card. Phew :)
I bought the commodore 64c wedge shape a few months back..using the kung fu flash and it runs great...F1 key is stuck and not registering keystrokes but other than that it runs fine...happy new year and thanks.
Maybe something has fallen between the spaces of the keys. Its well worth opening it up and having a quick look, or if you have a key puller lift the key and see if anything is stuck etc. Happy new year to you too!
No idea to be honest. You can fairly easily add a display to these by the way, theres a few guides online how to do it. You can also add a buzzer to simulate the disk access noises.
Man i wouldn’t go over trough app that shit just to retro brighting the case,even so i do see any difference,not mention good luck remembering in wich each part should belong to as it is easy to mess things up, If i ever want to upgrade my atari 400 with extra ram,i probably would think 3 times before doing that,i actually can’t believe that people just go down that deep rabbit hole just to only retro bright things,just insane.
Retro brighting was not really needed for the case. As mentioned in the video it was mainly dirt and stains with minimal yellowing. If you check out some of my other videos such as the Vic 20 at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wZ4fVSqdb2A.html you can see a much larger difference.
Dont know if youll respond,but how do i get the cd2jcd to work? I drag the games track/bin files to be opened with the jcd app,but like,it opens,works,then just halts and nothing happened Am i doing something wrong?
@@RetroGamingBanter yooooooo Actually, good timing! Two questions are 1) some of the cd games won't compress down to jcd,whats the problem with that? 2) jcd support on the everdrive is still in prototype mode? Only games that I've tested is highlander and it runs and then vid grid loads,but doesn't run,so im guessing a future update may fix it,or i possibly messed up somewhere
@@Buguese It can be due to the 'beta' level of CD support. Sometimes you do have to try running the game a few times to get it working. I think I tried the majority of games available on CD in the video, so they should at least work after a few tries if they don't run first time. For the files not converting , it could be bad CD images. I don't provide links to ROMS etc, but have a look on archive.org as there are probably working ones on there ;)
@@RetroGamingBanter ayeeee Good stuff, good stuff Alrighty,I got a free afternoon, going to totally try all this out because yeah,im a bit angry that I wanna try all the jag cd games,but no results from the tool Thanks for actually coming back and helping,lmao You're the best!
@@RetroGamingBanter I have a atari lynx 2 that only turns on when it feels like it sometimes it doesnt even turn on at all i looked inside and everything seemed to be in order do you have any idea what could be wrong with it?
@@Sapphire1984 It could be any number of things. I have not opened mine to see what it is like inside its so hard to say. If you have a multi meter, check if power is getting through and trace it until there is an issue. It could be capacitors are failing and not getting the power to where it is needed. I have not checked but there are probably people selling capacitor replacement kits for the Lynx, they can be more expensive than buying yourself but it saves time searching for the right ones.
I noticed you have the English Patched version of Dragon Force 2. Did you try playing it? That's the main game I would do this mod for. What size SD card did you use?
It will work on all models including V-Saturn, Hi-Saturn and Tectoy. The Duo supports both 20 and 21 pin connections and includes ribbon cables for them.
He was born in London so we have some similarities there. It might depend what film/show you are watching, he does do different accents, but I don't think I sound like him?
www.fenrir-ode.fr/screenshots.html the pack is there, you may need to rename the images to match the game files. Theres a program on the page to do it as well.
