Made a game gear app to track my collection. Source code is available if anyone wants it.

I've been working on an Android app for my own needs to track my Game Gear collection. There are a lot of nice game apps out there but I found I couldn't customize them the way I wanted. My app shows me the 365 released games, in all regions, with all known names, and combines them into one list. Since I'm only building it for me I haven't pushed a release. If anyone wants to tailor it for their own desires feel free to grab the code from my GitHub.

Missing Background Elements

UPDATE: It works perfectly in the Retron5. I have no idea why.

My copy of Double Dragon was pretty dirty inside. I gave it a good scrub and cleaned the pins but I noticed it had missing background elements in-game. I cleaned it some more and then added flux and solder and reflowed the chip. No improvement at all. I then did a continuity check and all pins beeped out correctly.

What ya'll think? Faulty chip?

Summary:

Cleaned with IPA twice

Reflowed chip

Continuity on pins and chip tested good

No background elements in game.

Gadgetwrap arrived today for my PT2

I got the glass screen protectors. Installed easy and also came with a clear soft body wrap too. So far so good!

I went ahead and put the 1.20 community firmware on my GSG. I can get Atari ST games to boot fine and pulling up the onscreen keyboard to start a game is pretty easy to do.

However I cannot get controls to function. I tried Arkanoid for instance and can't move the paddle. All settings for controls are stock and match the readme.

Am I missing something? Any help is appreciated.
