Hi,
I have this A500 rev6A (512k + 512k trap door, 1.3KS) that I've recently discovered has some issues.
The machine runs fine most of the games/programs, but it "hangs" on a couple of programs.
It doesn't give any guru meditation error, it doesn't reboot, it just freezes, for example in SYSINFO (see attachments).
I've discovered a similar behavior on FA18-Interceptor. The game loads fine, but it makes a HUGE PAUSE on the "SELECT YOUR FLIGHT LOCATION" screen.
Eventually the game starts, and I say eventually because it takes like 20 min and it has a frame rate of about 1 frame per minute (Yeah, that slow!).
Also the machine is still responsive (VERY slow), if I press F1 the selection screen reboots.
On SYSINFO the disk activity led stays on forever and the mouse locks, on Interceptor there's no disk activity.
I've tried removing the 512k trapdoor with the same result.
I've tried different floppies.
I've tried even loading from a gotek.
I've tried different versions of Interceptor (I have the original disk, but I've tried other cracked adf's as well just in case.
I've tried switching PAL/NTSC modes
The problem persist.
I've tried re seating the custom chips with no luck.
Could this be a chip RAM issue?
I'm clueless about this, some help narrowing down the problem would be very much appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
