OK, so after a bit of faffing the PiRTOII works as well

It seems that a set of config files are needed to make it work properly, they can be found here: CFG Files
They need to go into the root with your bin files. Also, if you have files with an int extension need to be renamed bin and can't be longer than 32 characters and need to have no special characters in the name.
As for the colours, that is just the IV, need to look at that...

OK, so a few more games tried today. The Coleco cart runs everything I've thrown at it so far, it's very stable.
The Intellivision cart is less stable, of 20 games I have 5 that didn't work, however I do have some alternative ROMs to try.
It looks great though:

Interestingly the colour 'fixes' itself after a period of time, so I think I need to do what I said I'd do and recap it. Another one for the project list.
There is also alternative firmware I can try to see if that resolves any of the issues with ROM's not working.
Overall though I'm very impressed with all of these carts.
Since I have 4 more PCB's of each cart I may order some more Purple Pi's (They are super cheap) and build them for sale. I don't think I can sell for less than £20 due to shipping/parts costs overall, but I'll see how much they are going for over at AtariAge where their threads reside.

You remind me that I have a lot of left PCBs somewhere in my boxes...
I just ordered 4 Purple Pi's from the same place as I got my first two, worked out at just over £8 including shipping, so it's going to happen

I should also have all the components needed to complete my PCBs, but I need free time to do so...
That's the big problem, time.
