*small* bug on Ice Magic V9

**qortizone** · 12-31-2003,06:21 PM

Don't see this reported anywhere, so forgive me if it is a duplication. There is a small bug when swopping games in a certain way; try this... Boot up any DVD-R. Let it run for a minute or so. Press eject, insert new game, press eject to close tray, and *only then* press reset; the game will not boot until you reset it again. This is not really a big deal, just a small bug, but it would be nice to have a fix. For 100% success on swopping games, I press reset *first* and *then* eject the tray to swop the disc.

Y don't you show us your skill by writing your own hex code that fixes this problem. Developors are aware of small issues like this but it would help us more if you stopped wining about it and cracked on with it yourself then you can get some brownie points.

Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of skill. The only people who can fix this is the developers. I'm not whining about it, just pointing it out.

Man, I don't think there is a problem with him reporting bug in order to allow the dev'er to make a better code. This is what ICE is all about. Now the coder can correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure they appreciate that kind of whining free bug report.

Depends on how the person is. Most people whin about it and slag it off saying its shit and never use it. Other people help with the development by pointing out bug fixes. Depends on how you interprate it. Thats all im poiting out.

Actually, I was just pointing it out in case the developers didn't know. So, I guess that means we're in agreement

try this : use the cap on the 74hc73 chip from GND to +5v and not GND to that pin...

Mine seems to work fine

Also , use the 33k between OSC1 and OSC2 . It increases stablity

Chipdealer: so do you just ground pin 5 directly ?

Chipdealer · 01-10-2004,09:42 AM

Yes to GND according to scematic in v9kit.rar

Jadgamez should learn not to post when not adding anything to a knowledge pool. qortizone posted a very legitimate case scenario in which the chip malfunctions. This is great for the development community as it documents known instances in which the chip fails.
