Technical support - Hardware related / Re: Original CPC Multiface II ...
Last post by kbjunkie - Today at 22:50Hi,
I picked up the MF2 in a box of stuff with a CPC that I bought. It had a couple of dead PAL chips (IC4/5) which I replaced with GAL16V8's but I discovered by checking the ribbon that there's a number of cables in the ribbon that are either dead or dodgy. It wasn't working at all when plugged in initially - the CPC booted to a black screen (no raster). The ground in the ribbon is broken so if I connect ground with a wire from the CPC to the MF2, I can get the menu up when pressing STOP but it crashes when I select an item with the keyboard. I then checked the ribbon and found some broken wires. RESET button also doesn't work (although the switch tests fine) - I suspect there's another broken part of the ribbon going to RESET that's NC.
Pic attached,
Cheers,
Mark.

Last post by SerErris - Today at 22:44Yeah,
another thing would be:
Turn on the drive first (but get the Amstrad CPC power connected). If the drive motor spins, turn it off. Wrong way.

Last post by Rabs - Today at 22:29Quote from: kbjunkie on Today at 21:56Hi all,Hi I have spare 50 way ribbon and edge connectors but the pcb connector may be a problem. Do you have a pic of yours. Was it working before the ribbon was damaged?You cannot view this attachment.
I'm looking for someone that can make/sells the complete 50 way expansion ribbon for a MultiFace II (the original one from Romantic Robot). The one I have has a number of the cables broken inside it.
Thanks in advance.
Mark.

Last post by chinnyhill10 - Today at 21:03Quote from: Gryzor on 07:53, 29 April 24Been following the Mastodon official stats for a while now out of morbid curiosity. The platform has been losing about 1000 users a day, steadily, for months now. It's probably going to drop below 900k active users this week. It's a pity, but the writing was on the wall from the beginning...
It's very good for the techy people. In fact "Auntie John" is on there. However I find Blue Sky better for day to day stuff.
Twitter, never going back. Poisonous site.

Last post by kitt_2000 - Today at 19:03Hello friends,
I've arrived too late to this thread, does anybody have the files of the google drive links?
If you have these files please upload them to the amstrad ftp server:
ftp://amstrad:amstrad@amstrad.serveftp.com
the incoming directory has write permission
There is more pcw and cpc software in this ftp.
Thank you.

To start the weekend, we thought this one was missing. Many thanks to @Urusergi , as usual 
:
MACH 3 from Loriciels
Controls:
J1B1 = Fire
J1B2+UP = Normal controls
J1B2+DOWN = Reverse controls
Pause button = Pause game (any button to resume)
Modifications for the GX4000 version:
- Wait for fire on title screen
- Patch keys
- Bugfix, the game no more crash crossing an arch
- Poke: Unlimited lives
This conversion is based on the international release of the game, with music on a main screen absent from the French version
