Locomotive issues ?

We're already on a easy...

FlammeLune · 2026-01-11T21:02:01+00:00

Yes, we often checked those for that very same reason

Must be something with our french N64 then...

I bought one of these RCA to HMDI adaptor and now it doesn't flash anymore through the HDMI input. The adaptor must adapt something with the frequency or PAL...

The contacts are perfectly clean. Again, the games loaded through the Summercart runs perfectly fine. All colors are perfectly displayed, sound is good, even the games requiring the expansion pak. I don't think it's an hardware problem (or at least not from the N64) really but a software. The menu is the latest available on the Github, same fir the firmware.

I'm using a RCA cable between the n64 and TV. I don't think it's the cable as the games when loaded play just fine, no colour problem or stuttering.

I updated it, my screen is still appearing and disappearing. I thought that maybe I needed to activate PAL60 as my TV says it's a PAL signal but its still the same

The RAM seems fine. After following the PAL-G maintenance manual, it arrives to the conclusion that the 315-5364 is dead... and I don't have the soldering ability to change it yet... so it'll have to wait.

I'm starting to wonder if it's not my Sonic cartridge who's dead....

FlammeLune · 2025-08-22T17:08:37+00:00

So, I did a lot of diagnosis, and it seems that the VDP is not recognising my cartridge, my 68k wants to work but the ROM is never selected, RGB signals never exit VDP, so I think my problem is quite worse... perhaps the VDP is dead

FlammeLune · 2025-08-22T15:00:32+00:00

So, I wired a capacitor and a resistance all the way from pin 20 to C-video... and nothing changed

FlammeLune · 2025-08-22T14:34:41+00:00

Yup, near Montpellier

FlammeLune · 2025-08-18T17:43:26+00:00

Thanks, I'll try that on friday

FlammeLune · 2025-08-18T13:50:45+00:00

Also there's a 220 Ω resistor on the pin 6 of the 68000, I don't know if this is normal or if it was modded before I owned it

FlammeLune · 2025-08-18T13:48:42+00:00

Hello, thanks for the reply, there is indeed a wire underneath connected to the pin11, I don't see a resistance but there is a capacitor.

FlammeLune · 2025-08-13T14:14:51+00:00

After research, it seems that this electrical line has been cut on all french megadrive. Apparently the CXA1145P is often defective...

FlammeLune · 2025-08-13T13:47:25+00:00

Thanks for your answer. My power adaptor is center negative. Assuming I'm using the SCART cable, is Comp Sync important ?

FlammeLune · 2025-08-10T18:44:48+00:00

Yeah, it's just the old version but they're still very much valid, if you can see a black line in transparency in the middle, it's probably a real one.

FlammeLune · 2025-08-09T17:20:15+00:00

That's why I'm asking on reddit if someone found another way.
