Oh man, I'd love to get my hands on the Grammar Games and Super Smarts cartridges this person has. Already dumped the Brain Power cartridge and uploaded that. Two more to go!
@@qwertykeyboard5901 Don't we all? I swear, first it's hard to find the machine, then it's hard to find expansion cartridges for it! Well, at least for me.
For the 4 videos I have posted, I am doing a 1 time set-up of switches, connections and a cartridge, then let it fly with a keyboard button press. It then does its thing, for as long as the batteries last. But it can do a lot more than this-it can be played with live but is a lot more unpredictable (long times with no or very repetitive output) Most all glitches are very repeatable-if you do the same thing each time, the output is the same, even hours later!
Yes, it is binary, 17 bits on top,8 on the side. They originally were for looks, but I now find them very informative...there are some errors (the 5 always lit due to data bus oddities from the display) Also, you can turn them off, but I think they are too bright as well-I will probably be toning them down on my next machine (at least the top row).
I find it very curious that the LCD readout isn't doing much while the audio circuitry is going completely mad, why could that be? I see you have a number of cartridges for that machine too.
Yeah, that is odd to me too. Different glitch set-ups DO mess up the display at the start only for the most part (I have pictures of a lot of these). I have tried to get the display to show real time the bus activity, with no luck so far. I have found the "display enable" pin, and it does not work as expected. I plan to post more sound variety soon, with display pictures.
That was great!
found this channel under a flexplay dvd comment section, surprised to see there's a recent upload
As a VTECH computer collector, this hurts me internally but is also somewhat entertaining at the same time.
I don’t like the whiz kid plus so I’m glad he did this

@@Extremelybadpiggies Not the best thing they made, y'know? I think that award belongs to the Equalizer Laptop and PreComputer Unlimited.

Vtech was weird back them
me when i play on the non circuit bent one
How are you controlling it? I can't see you adjusting any controls or knobs on the unit to make to behave the way it is.

again please !!!!!
Are those LEDs for debugging? Or for looks? It looks like its binary information which looks interesting.

@@VideyoJunkeiThe address bus also doubles up as the keymatrix scan lines.

Ha! I know what those LED's are for!
Can you tell I've been reverse engineering one of these?
What are they for? Measuring activity on different chip pins?
