Oh goodness. This waiting is painful. I guess I’ve been waiting for over 10 years for a new linker/flash kit, so what’s a few more weeks/months, right? Things just don’t go as quickly as I’d like. It seems like I’m constantly waiting for parts to arrive or PCBs to be etched. Then, when something goes
The first “release candidate” Linkmasta was built last night. This is intended to be Thor’s unit. You might remember Thor from such scene releases as: Gears Of Fate Giana’s Return GP32 KOF91 and Many More Neo Geo Pocket Color Creations Anyway, the plan is to get this unit ready to send to him, so he
Wow, I feel like this is a teaser trailer for big things to come. I mean, I saw my name, “Flavor,” up there just as the White Zombie track kicked in. I can’t lie. It kinda gave me chills. Who knew electronics could be so AWESOME! It’s like watching Neo fight Morpheus for the first
They say a picture is worth 1,000 words. If so, this post has exactly 6,000 words (rounded to the nearest thousand).
I’ve taken to calling the USB Linker the “Neo Pocket Linkmasta” based on Turfmasta’s naming scheme. There’s been a redesign of the Linkmasta based on a different set of chips. It wasn’t difficult, but I had to start over with a breadboard to test it before I have a PCB made. This will probably result
Well, things have been a bit slow on the “Neo Geo Pocket Developments” front. After proving the USB linker concept, there’s a bit of a waiting game while we figure out how to produce these. The thing works. That’s great. Now what? How do we get them to you? The Flash cart, however, has been
There’s not much to say here. Watch the video.
Here’s a video I just uploaded to YouTube.
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
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.
