No joysticks present at time of test!?

sorry if this is not what you want to see

I have bought one of these cartidges to enjoy my D32 but the sdcard.zip in the downloads section does not work. It appears to be missing a file. I have seen 2 files on different sites, a) being SETUP.VDK and b) being EXPLORER.VDK. Without either of these the process of accessing further is prevented...

Hi Rob
Don't know if this is still helpful to you but here's my values
RX=63, RY=51, RF=1, LX=31, LY=34, LF=2

Hi, thanks Alastair for the info. I thought I'd already emailed Tormod but when I just checked I couldn't see one had gone. I've sent another now - but the info on the MMC sounds like a probable alternative. Thanks again.

I know this may be an impossible ask but it's worth a try. Or maybe someone out there knows of a link to an outlet. TIA

Another check. Although there is no display I get the DC voltages at the connector you described.
P1=12v, P2=5v, P3=-5v, P6=-0.4v, P7=18v, P8=8.5v, P9=2.4v.
I can hear and see relay RL1 operating.

Mmm. applied contact cleaner and left to soak/dry out. After 2 trials the Dragon starts ok but after some run time a restart becomes iffy- until finally there is no display. I suspect a component is gradually heating up until it fails. Does that seem plausible?

@ robcfg, I was on the ac range when I measured.

Thanks Alastair, I just dragged the pic into the message box as you said - easy when you know how.D32 board

@Serenarian, robcfg Thanks to you both for your responses. My multimeter must be on the fritz as my readings on the 9pin connector were: 1) 1.6, 3) 14.4, and 5) 14.7. But while I was exploring there was a small fzzt and I had a picture again. After more exploring I found that the on/off switch at th...

Amazing to such widespread, international interest in Dragon. I bought mine (D32) not long after they came out: copied games from mags, bought cassettes from local suppliers, and even wrote a game for my pre-teen sons that incorporated a machine code sub-routine to move sprites quicker around the sc...
