today i received a package from
santa claus andreas aka speleo who had offered to have a look at my rally board. his service was lightning fast because only one day after he had received my board i got an email telling me that the pcb had been repaired
inside, the rally board along with a nice little christmas surprise
and - as a bonus - in case i'm still hungry, 4 small chips
although i was still not 100% done with the tv, i couldn't wait any longer and had to test both the television (whether the cap kit was a success) and the pcb (whether it's working flawlessly), so i set up a temporary rally test station
let's fire this baby up
as you can see, i do have a picture and it's so much better than before the cap kit, although it still is out of focus. i'll have to check whether i can adjust that manually. or perhaps it is a matter of replacing that big non-polarized capacitor after all ...
unfortunately, regarding gameplay and function of the pcb, i'm still having some issues
:
- when i choose to play a game to 15 (with our famous
SWITCH), the game sometimes stops at 11, sometimes at 13 and very rarely at 15. could it be that there is also a timer involved?
- the display of a one-player-game (where the computer blocks your ball with various walls on the left) is not correct, there are some display errors on the left.
don't get me wrong, i'm totally happy with where i am right now compared to where i was 2 weeks ago, but of course i want the game to work perfectly. for that reason, i've already contacted andreas
