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.

 

News: 15 Jul 2005 - Ordered two prototype PCBs

27 Jul 2005 - The prototype is put together

3 Aug 2005 - Run it's first game, SMB3

4 Aug 2005 - Runs some simpler mappers

13 Aug 2005 - Waiting for some PCBs to arrive from a factory, some will be available for people to buy

14 Aug 2005 - Decided to make a USB cable for the device, parallel port is too slow

15 Aug 2005 - Looks like MMC3 works now 100%, including IRQs and Battery back-up

25 Aug 2005 - Received some new PCBs

26 Aug 2005 - Building the USB cable

19 Sep 2005 - USB cable works now, designing a new board that has the USB part included.

11 Nov 2005 - Been busy. Received the new boards, trying to test them before I can sell them.

17 Nov 2005 - Three new mappers, BNROM, CNROM and Color Dreams/Wisdom tree

16 Feb 2006 - Been busy. Two new mappers, ANROM and UOROM

11 Aug 2006 - Files are here. It is a mess. Minimal tech support Need to write some software for the device. I need your help in development: Mappers, Software etc.

Implemented mappers so far:

 

 

Discrete logic: NES-AMROM

NES-ANROM

NES-AOROM

NES-BNROM

NES-CNROM

NES-CPROM

NES-NROM

NES-UNROM

NES-UOROM

Color dreams

 

MMC2: NES-PNROM

 

MMC3: NES-TGROM

NES-TKROM

NES-TLROM

NES-TQROM

NES-TSROM

 

A list of games tested so far More coming... Files:

A 15€ super interessant !! A voir pour faire une commande groupé

[Link14]

Ca va comme prix!

Généralement, les flasher sont assez cher!

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 !

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.
