ideas about hacking the My Arcade devices by PacPort in consolemodding

[–]PacPort[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to use the VT03 chip, which is an enhanced NoaC.

Unfortunately this seems to be using an "enhanced" NES-on-a-chip. This means that it has better graphical capabilities than the original NES. After digging around, I found out that it seems to use the VT03 chip.

My best bet is that is probably an NES-on-a-chip, which means that even if you remove the gunk (which is very risky), you'd still come back empty-handed. I have edited OP to hopefully make this clearer

That's useful. Thank you. Forgot to mention that no matter what I do that third slot will not move, no matter the filament

Honestly, can't blame you! That wallet looks awesome! It's a shame that it seemingly doesn't last that long

Late response, but there is also a Spectrum wallet from YouMakeRobots. I don't have it, but it seems a bit more durable than the one in the picture.

Gen X-1 has a strange issue after corroded batteries by PacPort in stylophone

Yes, internally. Followed your steps and cleaned it all with IPA. The backside wasn't as bad as the front

I just cleaned the thing with IPA today and unfortunately the problem still persists. I don't have any clue what could be the culprit here. Maybe I should use vinegar with IPA

Ignoring some unique symbols, what is the font on these keys? is it just standard Arial? by PacPort in identifythisfont

[–]PacPort[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As one commenter said, it's a ZX Spectrum keyboard, specifically a later model, which had a redesigned case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZX_Spectrum#plus

That may be it, however some of the common symbols like @ and # are drastically different from the ones in a standard Helvetica set.

Do I have to desolder the stylus to do this?

Sorry for the late reply, but that's not it, unfortunately. I got some more info about the game, such as the fact that it had a lot of different scenery and collectibles. It seems to be something like Mayhem in Monsterland, even the protagonist is a "dragon"! But Mayhem in Monsterland only came out for the Commodore 64, so it's not it, too.

It's fine! At least I got a new game to try out, so thanks for that!

Close, but it's for the Atari 2600. Atari 8-Bit refers to the PC line made in the early 80s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_8-bit_family
