Re: Something experimental - A5000 mouse ball replacement.

I did have a read through the thread before I posted, quite a few ideas have been quashed in the past year! Proving to be a difficult nut to crack! Tried Wooden balls? not sure how the weight would be vs plastic/resin but may be easier to coat in something grippy and fairly cheap to experiment with....

Re: Something experimental - A5000 mouse ball replacement.

Maybe looking at this the other way round could work? You have a perfect size ball but the rollers wont grip. Try to fix the rollers lack of grip! What does the mouse look like inside? I presume the rollers are either hard plastic or metal, how about a tiny bit of thin heatshrink tubing covering the...

Re: CM8833-II Just died

Just make sure that the power is off when you short the HT cap to ground, its quite a scary spark if you dont! lol

It could also just be a dry joint around the HT transformer, if it gets bounced in shipping, hairline cracks in the copper tracks around the same area can be an issue.

Crash Course in MSX

I thought I knew a bit about the MSX range over the years but there was quite a bit I didnt! The SCC sound chip was a magical addition to the Konami games that it came with but I never knew of all the others! Cartridge port expanders? Video chips via Cartridge port? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A...
