NGPC Pocket Flash Cart PCB
Design work started on the cart PCB. Most of the schematic has been drawn up. The card edge connector is missing, but I think Brian or Gerry may come through with that soon. Then, I think Gerry will lay out the PCB based on the schematic and etch a prototype. This will allow me to
Prototype NGPC USB Pocket Linker
So, we’ve moved from the breadboard to a working prototype PCB. I soldered on the parts and it works well. There’s not much more to say. There’s a good chance that this is what a “product” would look like. Do you want to buy one? Faselei cart not included.
Don’t Dremel Your Finger
Last night I cut up a couple PCI slots to make NGP cart sockets. The process of making multiple at a time is a bit easier than making one, because I can mark a couple at a time. After one is made, it’s much easier to use that as a guide to make others. The
NGF File To Cart
This one is a bit trickier. It’s a bit more involved to actually take a .NGF save-game file and write it to an official cart. Nonetheless, I did it. I had issues, and I left out any real error checking (like to make sure the .NGF is valid for the cart). It works, though. So,
NGF File From Cart
Today I had a new idea. I can take an official cart and scan it to see which blocks are unprotected. That means they’re writable. The save-game data will always be stored in one or more of the writable blocks. I worked on the RACE NGPC emulator’s flash memory emulation enough to know how it
