    Posted on the wrong thread by mistake, the real post is:

     

    There seems to be quite a few green label versions on eBay but there's only 1 listing of Game Factory with actual game programmed in (and at least 2 auction "tested working" but no mention of what game or even a SS of title, guessing seller never tested it and is passing the cart for buyer to test and make seller earn negs)

     

    Since there is a programmed Game Factory, it's a good chance there is a way to program it, so how does one program it? Any schematic or a low cost programmer I can build or steal? There are Genesis flash cart for under $100 that uses SD card so if there is a programmer for less, I'd be interested!

    Most of Lynx games are common and often times it's cheaper to buy new sealed games on eBay than used loose copies.

     

    About $250 will get you over 80% of Lynx games. That would leave the less common and more expensive games like Lemmings and Double Dragons. (PS Lemmings are awful on Lynx, no mouse support of any kind)

    Lynx II is tricky to put together correctly. If the battery compartment is not lined just right, nothing works. Did you forget a screw that secured the compartment to the shell?

     

    The directional pad (and the buttons around the screen and power LED) are all connected to a ribbon cable. If it's not in right or if it's damaged, some function won't work. Check that.

    So it's very likely CV games can run on SMS with minor adjustment to account for all the changes in memory mapping. What about running small SMS games on a CV? Some of the early small SMS games with small memory requirement might work on CV?

     

    Wonder if it's practical to build an adapter that traps memory call and redirects them to different location and allows CV cart to work on SMS console?

    The first computer my family got was the VIC-20 which I think I still have. I do have many games for it but I can't remember where the 20 is hiding. We got TI-99/4a and C64 shortly after, and I still have both. Although the TI isn't working anymore, it wouldn't power up and only gives black screen.

     

    I've gotten more computers including a PET and a 128D which I still use now day.

    Physically, DB9 and HD15 are the same size. I don't know what type of connector it's going to be, it depends on what candle can do when he gets back on the project.

    I found a few things of interest.

     

    First: I got HP Envy 120 for only $5. It works and it was great timing because my old scanner had quit working a few days ago. I didn't need high end scanner and I wasn't about to shell out over $100 for stand alone cheap scanner or over $50 for an all-in-one and never use the printer part. Instead I just spent $5 for an all-in-one and won't use the printer part.

     

    Second, found Powerjoy set (the N64 controller look alike Famicom clone) with the cart and player 2 controller. No power supply but it was only 98 cents (half off!!)IMG_0110_zpsb625ea0f.jpg

     

    Lastly, found the green Halo edition XBox for $12. It's not rare but it's a lot cheaper than shipping alone! Works but the label on bottom has been broken so it may have mod inside. Will need to find screwdriver and check it out.

    If you really want to make life easier and eliminate the need for floppies, invest in one of these...

    It will plug right into a regular desktop Macintosh, but for the Powerbook you might need to get an adapter of some kind.

     

    Don't need an adapter, get a non working Powerbook disk drive that has 30 pins connector, get the drive case and you have a suitable cable to connect the board to most Powerbooks.

    It is both LCD replacement and external video out. Depending on what you do, you could replace the LCD and not connect the VGA port or cut an opening, or make an opening and not replace the LCD (consolize it?), or do both.

     

    I have a second Lynx that is waiting. I've already hacked in a PSOne controller adapter so I could play with controller instead of holding the system.

    ML wasn't common for C64 but there were a few. I had to type in MLX in basic to create a ML program creator. It lets me enter ML code, saves the code to the disk in ML format so when I loaded it, it'd run.

     

    It's time that I am frickin' glad I have the keypad add on for my C64. Adds a real number pad that doesn't need any program to run. It just an adapter that tapped into existing keyboard connector and added a duplicate sets of keys that I can use on the side for one handed typing. (I've unplugged it and it's sitting aside since I use my 128D these day with built in keypad and much faster disk drive, I can type in code, save to disk, reboot to 64 mode, run it.

    Will be interesting to see how long these take to put together. Might get myself a small reflow oven... :)

     

    Check Goodwill for a cheap working toaster oven. People often use it as reflow oven. Just don't plan on using it for food afterward or your pizza might taste funny :P

    The thrift by my house needs to have that deal =| I would probably take the whole box of 2600 games from them. $4 each is too much.

     

    But they almost always overprice electronics, so it doesn't surprise me. They have a Dreamcast right now, just the console itself, $20.

     

     

    No kidding! My local Goodwill chain usually sells PS2 and XBox cheap (almost always console, never controller, no way to test it) but when they get computer they seems to think the chip number is accurate for price tag. I've been watching a $486 computer move from one Goodwill to another Goodwill for several months now. It's ugly, scratched to heck, filthy, no hard drive (probably removed before donated), no RAM (likely stolen), and no way to test it anyway since I have never seen a monitor with 9 pin EGA port at Goodwill.

     

    Also $5 Atari games, $25+ for current gen games often leftover from Target clearance sale that didn't sell, and at one store $60 for a DS fat.
