The original ULA was DOA and has been replaced. Here is a pic of the bottom of the dead ULA. The top is glued to the heatsink forever.

Re: Internal 16K RAM mod doesn’t quite work with Dr Beep hires games

Maybe i will go back to 16k mod. But my goal was to have 32k with WRX possible.
For today i will give up. Thanks for your advice.

Corrected to pF which i used. I have not used nF caps.

I checked my other mod and post a picture below. Here i us a 100 pF :) cap. The result is a correct display of WRX graphics.

Do you mean 100 nF is still to high, or over 300 nF. When I tried 10 - 100, always the same result / pic1.

Re: Internal 16K RAM mod doesn’t quite work with Dr Beep hires games

Maybe this can help. The schematic of the mod and an older picture showing the wiring. I tested putting the cap between the red marked pins. Here is a detailed description of the mod. http://www.8bit-homecomputermuseum.at/repair/zx81%2032k%20intern/zx81_32k_intern.html Normal progams, for example 3D...
