I do have a Skunkboard and also an EPROM programmer if I want to make something more permanent. Close enough.

Nope, I don't have a GD.

Could probably just cover up the DSP edge connector with electrical tape.

Yes, he's trying to figure out if the Jaglink portion of the board can be disabled so that he can continue to use the AV out breakout.... RockLobster: I have one of these as well, but unfortunately, I agree the documentation is rather sparse and I don't have any ideas other than asking Retro-Kidz himself. He is still selling these on eBay so you can probably just message through there.

Thank you. This was the correct answer. In case anyone else runs across this and is using Xgpro, once you have the EEPROM .bin file loaded into the buffer, right click -> Fill/Swap block. Make sure 16-bits is selected under Swap Byte or Word and hit Swap.

Apologies for the necrobump, but has anyone here ever put this factory diag dump on a "real" cart successfully? I am trying to make one of these test cartridges. -I have a two chip PCB with socketed EPROM and EEPROM chips that I use for testing. -Used jag64.exe to split jagdiag5394.j64 into U1 and U2. -Wrote out the two EPROM chips and the 93C46 using my Minipro. I see am getting a perpetual black screen as described earlier in the post. I tried both of the settings EEPROM dumps in this thread. I don't have a serial cable to see if it is doing anything else. I also tried two different consoles. I have made other carts using a similar procedure, the only difference is that I have never tried to program the 93C46 from a dump before, but I was able to read it back and it seems to be working. Am I missing something?

How much you wanna bet he doesn't have a Sega Saturn either much less a copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga? I enjoy Saturn as much as the next guy but that is just the most random thing to have on in the background.

I hate to feed into this more... but I got curious about the SH2. This chip didn't come out until Oct 1993. Much too late for a Nov 1993 console release. I couldn't find volume pricing information for the 68000 in 1993, but I see by 1984 it was $15, so I think we can assume "dirt cheap". Maybe some more realistic alternatives would have been the NEC v810 (used in the Virtual Boy and PC-FX) or the ARM 610? Both have volume prices of $20 in 1993, and a 32-bit data bus.

Ugh. Now there is a follow up video that is even more pointless. I won't even bother linking to it. I need to stay off YouTube.

Good deal. I've got a few Jaguar consoles + Jaglink stuff I can bring, and probably can dig out a Lynx as well. As you said, we can figure it out when it gets closer.

Do you need help with games, consoles, TVs, etc for the event? I have can bring some stuff up if you need.

I've made repros for my own use. Getting multiple copies of games like Aircars and Battlesphere for networking just isn't going to happen. I like to use the translucent red shells. They look nice, but as far as I know there are no real games that were released like that, so it should be incredibly obvious they aren't original.

Got mine. Only one state south so why the heck not :).

Agreed it isn’t a particularly good game, but I’d be interested in a more detailed comparison too.

Thank you, I was having trouble finding a definitive answer on this.
