Hi Eric, I suppose technically it would be easily feasible, or am I mistaken?
It would make it a bit more expensive probably, but seems like a nice + for the cart, so people can make the sound chip to use in other ways (like a MMM).

Have you considered the possibility? Or did you, say, just want to release a unique game cart without further frills?

Still a switch could mean other games released with this HW could have a switch as well of course.
(And theoretically SW could use all of the SN76489's present?)

Just wondering, seems a bit like a missed chance to me. Nice product anyway though, congrats!

Ren, You can add the switch easily yourself. You just need a resistor and a switch. And better if you have a slot expander you can add it directly on a slot. Wink

Eric does not interest to put a switch, it's better to define a key of the keyboard to prevent the game from runing.

@gdx Thanks. That does require a slot-expander like the Modulon (on/off switches) am I right?
In that case, would it also be possible to use this cart with e.g. the MMM Coleco conversions?

Yes, also a great possibility.. Wink

You only need to put a ON/Off switches on the track /SLTSL and soldered a resistor of 4.7K from pin /SLTSL to +5V. Many Rom cartridges need the same thing on /CS1, /CS2 or /CS12 signal. Modulon probably does the thing.

It is possible only partially because Eric's cartridge does not have the advanced functions of the MMM. Moreover the method to activate the SN76489 is not the same. ROM2MMM will not work. SG1000 could work if I do a small update.

Hello Everybody,

I'm in late in delivery the Joust cartridge.
This game took me moe time I expected to build, because the PCB have much moe SMD components to solder.
All pre-orders boards are now finished.

Shipping will begin this week.

Thank you for understanding

See you
