NES FunkyFlashCart

[kya26]

Hello le monde,

en parcourant un peu le net j'ai trouver ça : NES FunkyFlashCart (une cartouche NES Flashable).
Quelqu'un a t'il déjà fait quelque chose de similaire ?
Est-ce que ça fonctionne bien ?

Je sais que Tototek en fait pour GG, MD, MS, SNES et PCE mais pour Nes je ne connaissais pas.

NES FunkyFlashCart official Homepage

Almost universal Flash game cartridge for Nintendo Entertainment System!

(That you can build yourself)

I have been doing other things but the files are here. The PCB files will appear there when I find them

Play backups of your valuable NES Cartridges! Don't let them wear!
Run hundreds of available free ROM files by hobbyists!

This device doesn't allow you to read NES games off a cartridge, you need a separate device for that.

Hardware: Xilinx XC95144 (PQ100) CPLD for mappers, programmable at least 10000 times.
512KB PRG Flash
512KB CHR Flash
32KB PRG RAM battery backed with DS1210 or DS1218
32KB CHR RAM

Pros: Mapper, Flash and Battery backed up RAM programming using only the USB port, cart doesn't need to be plugged in an external programming device
Can mimic almost any mapper up to MMC3 with all features like IRQs
Quality PCB with golden contacts

Cons: Does not support very complex mappers like MMC5
CPLD in a Quad Flat Package is a pain in the ass to solder, but not impossible
Uploading the game isn't that fast - 10 minutes for a 512KB game

You will be able to order PCB for the cartridge from me LATER.
The price will be around 15 EUR + shipping.

Je crois qu'il ne vend pas la cartouche mais bien juste le code a injecter dans le PCB ...

[sangokuwil]

lol l'enc..

[mimix]

bon sang ... y peu pas vendre le tout ?!

[hell_onslaught]

Il est bien dis qu'ont construit la cartouche nous même, ce qui coute 15€ c'est l'achat de la pcb

[mimix]

la construire c'est pas si dur quand tu vois ce qu'il y a dedans ! mais j'espère que le chip du centre est fourni soudé avec ! pareil pour celui en haut à gauche...

après faut trouver toutes ces roms et traduire correctement ce qui est marqué pour rien oublier ... après faut tester aussi le logiciel !

bref, même si l'étape soudure est globalement simple si les 2 chip précités sont déjà soudés, il reste du travail de compréhension derrière !

NES FunkyFlashCart

edit: pour les inconvénients donnés par son constructeur:

le chip du milieu (le Xilinx XC95144) est très chiant à souder mais pas impossible, la vitesse de transfert des roms est lente et les jeux provenants de roms mmc5 ne sont pas supportés car trop compliqués à reproduire.
