:sexy2: You Sir, are a fucking legend. Please keep us updated as I'd like to get my hands on the flash cart and USB linker as soon as they're available. Out of interest, have you tested the English patched version of CFC2 with it? :033:
I have not, but I can. I'm probably going to wait until the next set of PCBs arrives. The current PCB is difficult to test, because it won't fit in a cart shell. I HOPE that the next one will, and then I can really test easily instead of having the NGPC open and rigging it up and then things mess up if I slightly bump something or breathe or whatever. CFC2 English is something I really want to test, but since it's a hassle, I figured I'd wait. If there's really a demand for it though, I'd probably be willing to make another video showing it off with CFC2english. And, just in case anyone doesn't know what we're talking about, see http://cfc2english.blogspot.com/
In one word: Awesome! Looking forward to the next progress update. This makes me want to fire up the NGPC again....
I just figured I'd let you know that the carts are working well, and there are a few available at http://ngpc.freeplaytech.com/
For anyone interested, I picked up one of the very few flash cart Flavor made and it's really sweet. Never picked up a Bung cart. The thought of having to keep an old PC around just to transfer files wasn't too appealing. Apart from writing to the cart which is a tad slow (around 11min for 4MB...but apparently down to 8min with the latest update) once it's flashed it works great.
Please check out this latest video of mine featuring the Flashmasta/Linkmasta. If you like it, please LIKE it. Also, please post the URL anywhere you think other like-minded guys might LIKE it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTkt11HlMa0
honestly if someone could take the mac binaries and turn it into a app file withn an okay user interface like some of the windows flash cart flashers have then i would see no reason in not buying this item.
There is a nice GUI app in the works. I've just been busy with the hardware, and I haven't put much time into that piece, yet. It's all coming along, though, albeit a bit slower than I'd like. By the way, that video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTkt11HlMa0) is entered in a contest. That's why I'm hoping to get people to hit the YouTube Thumbs Up LIKE button.
The flash card comes as a bundle with the USB linker device (so really two products together). After thinking about things, I changed the pricing. Previously, it included shipping (to anywhere), but I don't think people are used to seeing it that way. Now, the shipping is added to the price after you add it. I'm starting to get some help from other guys, and when that happens, I'm hoping that I could drop the price a bit. I'm not sure how soon that will be, though. I'm also thinking about making the devices available separately. Some people that already bought a bundle want another cartridge. Also, some people already have the old Bung cartridge (and just want the USB linker).
I received it today. Works great except that the app is all command line based. Not a problem except that I didn't get any documentation on commands nor any files. The driver and app are on the site but it could be more clearly labelled as to where the driver is. I had to read a Japanese blog to get up to speed but no issues afterwards. Here's a few pics in action on my RGB setup
Yeah, I apologize about that. I hadn't really thought about it at all. I should at least put in a note about where to get the software and all that. That part is definitely still a work in progress. If you have any other problems or comments, definitely let me know. I need feedback like this, otherwise I don't really get a view from a user perspective. There is a GUI app in the works, but it's not ready yet. When that's ready, it should be a lot more intuitive. I'm hoping like a week or two for that, but I can't really say for sure. Thanks for posting! The pics are great! I like the setup.
It's not a dev unit, just a modded NGPC to display NTSC signals including RGB. I don't even have Dive Alert so it gets 0 use!
