Thinking of buying a multi cart.. What is available right now and what is the best?

Just want to get a bunch of roms have enough carts and dont have space to collect on a large scale for another system. I seen one that said ltoflash?

Where do you buy these from? Are there roms available somewhere?

Buying the Intellicart...pricey...

 

Buying the Cuttle Cart 3....pricey....

 

Waiting for the LTO Flash...priceless...and well worth the wait - I might add

Or the Hive, which comes seeded with a few ROMs, some of them exclusive. ;)

and a few of us are a bit envious of those with 2 (or more) Cuttle Carts 3's, but all that will go away once Hive and LTO Flash are released - or some of it will go away...I may still want one even though it would be obsolete

Not obsolete at all and I suspect it will still be a very sought after collectible commanding a healthy resale price.

The Intellicart is meant to be used with a computer and an Intellivision. It only holds one game at a time and loses its memory when the Intellivision is powered off. Software is required to load games via an RS-232 interface (USB adapter works). It does not work with games that use 8-bit RAM like Chess and Land Battle. Games that use "World Series Major League Baseball" type bank switching do not work correctly.

 

The Cuttle Cart 3 uses a MicroSD card and can hold the complete Intellivision library of games using a menu driven interface on the Intellivision. MicroSDHC cards are not compatible. Not sure about the availability of regular MicroSD cards should it need to be replaced. There is some menu editing software but I don't think it is required to edit the menu file. Games that use "World Series Major League Baseball" type bank switching do not work properly with Intellivoice..

 

That's what is out there right now (if you can find one), but the LTO Flash is expected to be released soon. Please correct me if I got anything wrong.

For those who are looking for a Cuttle Cart 3, I've got one on auction right now. It's not easy for me to part with it, but I'm a backer of Joel Hodgson's Kickstarter campaign to bring back "Mystery Science Theater 3000," and I'm looking for additional ways to support it; besides, I'm one of the lucky few who have a spare, so I can stand to part with one of them if it means supporting a good cause!

 

Here is a direct link. I've started it at the original sale price from Schell's Electronics.

Mine came with a 64MB card supplied when I purchased it and it would be handy to have a second Micro SD card for experimenting.

Given that it is almost impossible to buy a card under 4GB now is there a compatibility issue? I read some time ago that cards of this size were not supported by the CC3. :?

Is there a known size limit that the CC3 can use?

MicroSD (standard capaciity) cards generally max out at 2GB. MicroSDHC (high capacity) cards are not backward compatible with old readers. Same goes for MicroSDXC. Maybe the reader can be upgraded to support SDHC with a firmware update.

I recall the Cuttle Cart 3 instructions saying the 1GB was the limit it could handle (rather than the standard 2GB limit). I have not tested anything other than the 64MB card that came with it.

I thought it was something like that. Cards of this size do not exist anymore (apart from being long forgotten in the bottom of desk drawers)

Yes, according to Intellivision Revolution it is limited to 1GB and the SD 1.0 specification. A 2GB SD 1.1 spec. card might work but it would be limited to 1GB usable space without a firmware upgrade, or might not work at all. There should still be some supply of these used microSD cards available (I have two of them).

I have to open mine up. I'm not sure what I have in it. Plus I have one without a card at all....
