Yeah I've seen this! I feel so teased with the non-functional Neo Geo pocket button!! XX_X_X_X haha, but i hope their project goes well!! I'm looking forward to hearing good news on this! I would really love to find a way to flash the commercial carts, cause I have 1 or 2 I could test with.
Too early to share any good news but I've been working on this for a few weeks now, sadly my shiny new pocket packed in (think i shorted something messing with the clock) anyway today i picked up another from Ebay as well as a 6-1 one cart which should prove interesting to reverse. Stay tuned. edit: sorry 12 in 1 not 6, added pictures.
Is that one of the ones that are like double long? They are interesting. I believe that they have both ROM and battery-backed RAM with custom code that handles the save-game writes and the game switching. It's quite the innovation, actually.
That multi-cart looks very interesting, be nice to see what's inside. So will there be a new flash cart made available to accompany the new linker, or is it capable of reprogramming retail carts?
I assume they look like this. The USB linker can write to retail carts, but not in any way more useful than backing-up and restoring save-game data.
Yeah Flavor its 100% the same. Stupid epoxy The chips for those interested: RAM: LH52D1000 - CMOS 1M (128K x 8) - Sharp Electrionic Components http://html.alldatasheet.com/html-pdf/42989/SHARP/LH52D1000/394/3/LH52D1000.html CPLD: XC9536XL High Performance CPLD - Xilinx http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/data_sheets/ds058.pdf
Actually, I was told that there is a wafer-fab'd component under that epoxy. I don't know how that works, but from what I understand it's not just a normal off-the-shelf chip.
Yeah you can see something when you hold the PCB up to the light, i guess it was cheaper to fab the game roms than to include onboard ROM.
NGPC Flash cart build Hey Flavor, Yet another Forum for us to take part in. ) This Flash cart build is going to be fun! What are the chances we get it to work before the summers end? I'm optimistic. -Gerry
NGPC Flash cart Development Just a small sneak peek at the latest developments on this project: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KtmNBI3SrU -Gerry
Looks like some good stuff. I still have my recently acquired NGPC sitting here. I was about during the NGPC scene days but never ended up getting a kit from Bung nor a console. This unit is much nicer than a gameboy color in my opinion and the game I got for it is pretty decent for a fighter with 8-bit sprites.
