Although these diagnostic roms for Intellivision are freely downloadable online i had a bit of trouble finding them so i decided to write this post.
The ZIP archive contains the ROMs and the .CFG file for the correct mapping.
Dust cover for Amiga 1200 computer, made of high quality material, around 1 mm of thickness, not totally rigid, with small flexibility for protecting against damage (break etc.), but it is not flimsy! It protects console against dust, splash, UV radiation etc.

This is a Flash cart (PicoPac-Multicart) for Philips Videopac G-7000, G-7200, G7400, C52, JOPAC and Odyssey 2 by Andrea Ottaviani.
This Flash cart for Videopac / Odyssey 2 is based on Videopac-microSD Multicart project by Wilco2009 (https://github.com/wilco2009/Videopac-micro-SD-Cart)
PicoPAC is a multicart DIY yourself based on cheap “PURPLE” Raspberry Pi Pico clone, easy to build and not expensive and using its 16mb flash for storing games instead of the SDCard.
How much i paid for the PicoPac-Multicart?
More or less for each single Philips Videopac PicoPac-Multicart complete with all the components you will spend €4.69.
The price of each component also includes the cost of shipping and customs clearance.
Below you will find the photos of how i repositioned the BUTTON, i preferred to install in this position rather than on the upper side of the cartridge (default position of the PCB).
You can also download the front cartridge label, UF2 firmware v1.0a and a ZIP archive with 200 games.
For more information about this and other projects by Andrea Ottaviani please visit his github page.

This is a Flash cart (Pico-Multicart) for SABA Videoplay by Andrea Ottaviani.
This is a forked version of 3DMaze PicoVideocart for using a cheaper and simpler pcb based on pico “Purple” clone and using its 16mb flash for storing games instead of the original SDCard.
How much i paid for the SABA Videoplay Pico-Multicart?
More or less for each single SABA Videoplay Pico-Multicart complete with all the components you will spend €7.69.
The price of each component also includes the cost of shipping and customs clearance.
Below you will find the photos of how i repositioned the LED and the BUTTON, i preferred to install both in this position rather than on the back of the cartridge (default position of the PCB).
Another thing i want to say is to solder the Pi Pico Purple as close as possible to the PCB, i soldered the strips and then removed the plastic holder, this is to avoid you having difficulty closing the cartridge case.
You can also download the cartridge label (front and back), firmware and games in UF2 format, the games must be programmed first and then the firmware.

First of all i have to thank Ralf Schmitz for this gift. (Grazie Ralf).
Short description taken directly from Wikipedia of the Saba Videoplay console (Fairchild Channel F):
The Fairchild Channel F, short for “Channel Fun”, is a video game console, the first to be based on a microprocessor and to use ROM cartridges (branded ‘Videocarts’) instead of having games built-in. It was released by Fairchild Camera and Instrument in November 1976 across North America at a retail price of US$169.95 (equivalent to $910 in 2023)
The console come in a fair state of preservation but still had the following problems:
The repair was quite simple but boring, fixing the joystick cable was not exactly fun, i had to cut the cable because one or more wires inside are broken, i also had to invent a cable gland for a missing joystick and drill a cable gland with the broken cable right inside to then insert the cutted cable and solder the wires inside the joystick. (see photo)
The reset button was enough to glue it. (see photo)
I polished the console case that had the classic matte and dry black color of 70s plastics with linseed oil, a little is enough on a makeup remover PAD or a cotton rag, the result is amazing.
For completeness i also installed the e5frog composite video modification that works well, i only had to bring an auxiliary ground (although the ground of the negative power supply is already connected) from the PCB to the metal body (see photo) because it gave me video noise, now it’s perfect.

.- the inexpensive dual-SID/FM replacement that you can build yourself -.
SIDKick pico by Frenetic is a microcontroller-based C64 SID replacement. Analog inputs for paddles and mice are available just as for the original SID.

Thanks to my friend Lynx for this great Pixel Art work.
It’s been 4 years since i last updated the firmware of these devices, so it was time to do so.
