alright, now to the serious stuff. i've already told you that the pcb is having some issues, let me explain (and show) you what i've been talking about
problem #1:i can add credits and starts a game (although you don't see anywhere that credits have been added - don't know if that's normal or not because i've never seen a working gt10 or a video of it in action). once i've pushed the start button the race car is set to its starting position and i can guide it around the course
BUT the clock doesn't count backwards (which means: unlimited gameplay for one token
).
here's a video i took of the warm-up lap. note that i'm
NOT going any risk here because
see problem #2. anyway,
click on the following picture to see the game in action for the first time
problem #2:as i've already said, you see me going around the race course pretty slowly because i didn't want to crash into the pylons? why, you may ask. well, normally when you crash into something you shift into first gear (or reverse) and continue racing, but when i hit an obstacle, the game gets stuck in an endless loop (with the annoying crash sound playing continuously). the race car doesn't react to any input at all, no gear, no gear, no nothing. all i can do is turn off the game and start again.
wanna see what i'm talking about?
click on the following picture to watch a formula 1 hi-speed crash
let me sum it up:
- counter doesn't work
- collision ends game
before i continue any further, i'd like to hear from you. any first thoughts?
