WTB: SP64, Wonder Magic 32M, Magic Griffin

Hello ! to complete my BackupDevice Collection i am searching these 3 units:

SP64
WonderMagic 32M
Magic Griffin

and something i am looking for decades:

jaguar backup system (connects to amiga (homebrew)) anyone still has info/pix of it ?

thank you

 

Now this I would like to see.

 

it was developed in germany , posted on fazwongas BBS back in the days. it connected to the exp. port of an a500. also was adapted to lynx.

i failed to grab the schematics ;(

 

If you just want a schematic, want to pay me to design one? Jaguar cartridges are extremely simple, just a 1Mx32 ROM and a serial EEPROM, so with a spare cartridge connector you could make a game reader/flash programmer or RAM cart connected to parallel port or whatever. I can design it, but it wouldn't be worth it for me to build, debug and write software for it.

 

yes i believe for any electronic enthusiast it is an easy effort to create such flash cart for those ancient machines ... still i am after the creation of the guy (forgot the name) he was member of OS- (OldSchool) his creations were posted on fAZ!´s BBS FreakWorld back in the days.

 

Is this the Jag system you reffered to?!

no it was a flash cart or even ram cart (with battery) that connected to the amiga expansion port to write on it ... there were adapters for lynx, jag, and a neogeo one...

what 4000 us$ stuff is that

 

A Neo Geo adapter? That's quite hard to believe

 

but true

 

How are you certain? Lots of people (including copier makers) claimed to have a Neo adapter but nobody has proof of success except for Bung. The MGD2 Neo adapter uses 9 ASICs totaling thousands of logic gates, the equivalent of a small CPU. At that time it would be unheard of for a hobbyist to build that, not to mention that SNK's logic had to be reverse engineered from their own ASICs, and would require a minimum of $200 of logic and $200 of DRAM to play the launch games. Also at the time, this must have been for the AES system since MVS systems were commercial only, and nobody except for Bung built their own AES cartridges without SNK parts until Neoflash in early 2006. It seems very far fetched for BBS content, which was usually fake nonsense. I can believe Jaguar and Lynx which are extremely simple cartridges comparatively, but Neo Geo must have been a joke. I have written some posts about Neo Geo cartridges I can link to explain more if you care.

 

i am after the sysop hope we can dig out the content

 

no progress with contacting the sysop

but still is earch the items in the title

 

i have a picture now



this was released in 1994 .. there also exists a jaguar adapter ... was the first to dump jap games there exist about 15 sets

 

Nice! I'd still love to see the Jag setup.

 

this needs some time ill get back to here

 

What about Neo Geo?

 

i was wrong about neogeo sorry

i have to get pix of the jaguar adapter and the backup adapters for dumping

 

So the Amiga programs the flash, then you stick the flash into the adapters which bring the ROM signals to the connector. For Jaguar, it takes 4 of those flash cards? Since he used original game boards Neo Geo would be entirely possible, but it'd take 7 cards minimum for a commercial game. I suppose the backup adapters wire the console connector as a ROM as well. This is the absolute simplest way to make a copier, I thought you meant this guy built something all original that could program in-system, this is probably based around a free Amiga flash programmer project.

 

up i am still searching for these devices
