Photoplay Xtreme problem

Sat, 29 Oct 2022 10:17:17 +0000

Hi to all, I have an xtreme photoplay that no longer starts the system, I distinctly remember that the last few times had problems with the hd and was always the windowsxp scandisk so I'm sure it mounted an XP system version but the dongle is not usb but mounted on a serial port, on the dongle attached to a cable it says FW \ Feb 2003, but as far as I know it is strange since there is an xp and it had to be a usb dongle! Now I have various versions of cd but all igo and all with pts-dos which obviously do not work, the motherboard is the 6wev!
Does anyone have a chance to pass me some iso to try?
On the hd it says update 2002 italien but I don't know how real this can be!

EDIT: I Open this item and not is a dongle but inside is a Simcard photoplay whit circuit and i don't know the use

now i see that no have any dongle serial\usb and I don't understand how it worked

Hello all! I think i will need help!

I have a photoplay smart 2.1 and it's hdd stopped working.

I replace it with another, now i want to write igo7 (i read that's the latest i can put to this hardware).

First of all, i tried to connect a usb cdrom to photoplay, no luck to boot from cd (old mothermoard).

Then i put the external cdrom and the hdd to a pc, and i had problem again (probably driver-oriented because after creating ramdrive , it said that it could not find cd)

I later tried a sata cd rom in the same machine (with ide mode on bios), no luck again.

The only thing that remains is to try a ide (pata) cdrom.

Question: What's the real problem? What can i do to write disk?

I supposed that photoplay update cds had some limitation, like running only on default hardware but the funny thing is that when i try to boot igo7 iso on virtual machine, it boots and prepares a hdd (virtual), with no problem at all! If anything fails, i will try somehow to write the virtualbox vhd image to the disk.

Secondary, is there is a change replacing the motherboard with better cpu and more ram, in order to put a newer version like AIO12? Of course i have the usb dongle and i will use the same hardware (touch screen, camera, serial connections etc)

Any help will be appreciated! Thanks.

A great games machine from the 80s, with acres of classic games. For an alternative look at some of them, take a look here:
