I'm building a more 'modern' flash cart for the GB. The question is, would you prefer it USB like a Drag'n'Derp? or SD card based like an Everdrive?
SRAM will be 128k to satisfy the LSDJ folk, what is the maximum ROM size you would like it to support?
4Mbytes is the most cost effictive, this would cover 99% of GB/GBC games.
The cart price is targeted at $50 but hopefully strong support will bring the price down.
Let me know your thoughts!
SD, so I can keep multiple libraries at the ready.
Is it possible to have some cartridges made without input? As in, with a ROM flashed to them just the once? Even if it is just onto a flash chip itself.
I’m after some which will support MBC1 style bank switching, the ROM size is likely to be 256kb max.
I’d prefer the SD card version because that would work on Linux/MAC etc. Nowadays I use Windows very seldom and having to use the drivers in a virtual machine is a major annoyance for me.
Then again much more important for me is compatibility with all games.
Price is not a factor at all.
Last but not least I’d really, really like a GBC flash cart in a GBA cart form factor. I mostly play GB/GBC games on a GBA consoles so the big size is very inconvenient, especially with the SP. My dream was always a GBC cart in a GBA case. But I guess i’ll have to dream for now… ;-)
USB is better for me… as it was said before, just connect to your pc and voila!
karulg,
My V2 SD Cart will be equipped with an RTC and 8mbytes of ROM storage which will allow every GB/GBC game to play on it. The only 8MB ROM I know of is Train simulator.
Take a look at my facebook page for all the developements in my hardware.
