It boots. 20240419_172350 (copy 1).png What did I do? First of all I assembled the board completely, so that it had the YM2149, WD1772 and two logic chips U40 and U8 that were missing back in place. That didn’t have any effect. I found posts about IPL2 and RDY on the GLUE being low, but none of them...

Sorry, I have only just read your post. Yes he knows about it, I generally give him feedback when I complete a game. He does tend to fix things that he is able to fix immediately.

The intro gives you a good clue of where to go to complete the game. The game is initially v...

There is some good music on the Brainstorm megademo.

It was written about in ST Format at the time that Games Master never mentioned the Atari ST, so it might not have been one that they were playing Xenon on. By 1992 it was very uncool to have an ST. It still is.

Anybody know what makes IPL2 always low? Thinking that might be significant. I have got the board so that all data lines D0 to D15 are oscillating but all the address lines are stuck high. One thing that is noticeable is that IPL2 stays low from the second that I switch on and also by reset. The pul...
