I got my G7400 back in the mail yesterday. Hooked it up today with my power convertor (120 to 220v) and the video convertor (Pal to NTSC) as well. All worked like a champ on my 19" television, using composite video / audio cables. I tested a few cartridges on the system, especially '+' graphic games, along with Clay Pigeon+ (which I just got recently) and Puzzle Piece Panic (which I finally played for the first time - darn good game!). Of course, I also tested some Voice games, as this G7400 has a Voice built into it now (thank to René van den Enden!). Great to hear the Voice sound coming out of the TV!
Thus, with this rather simple testing out of the way, the Philips G7400 system is officially in the Underdog Chamber for '07. I still need to test the RamCart on it, but that isn't 100% necessary for the show. I hope to try this later today/tonight though, as there are a few games that I only can display using the RamCart.
Along with the G7400, the Odyssey2 is now officially in the show as well. I will have this setup alongside the G7400, as they will most likely be sharing the same TV set (the G7400 using the video inputs, the Odyssey2 using the RF input - yeah, I hate that video upgrade for the O2, so it stays on good old RF!).
Now, besides the RamCart testing, I just need to get that Intellivision updated!
