  1. Heads up! The update for FinalGrom 99 version 1.3 has been posted. This fixed the issue I was having with TEII. Ralph is amazing!

     

    Get the update here: https://endlos99.github.io/finalgrom99/

    How did you manage to do the update? I downloaded version_1_3.avr and renamed it to UPDATE.AVR as descibed at https://endlos99.github.io/finalgrom99/and put in on the SD card, but FinalGROM99 does not boot up and is not visible in the menu then. When I put .BIN files on the SD card it is working as it should.

    Just figured out it did the update without saying anything on the screen. :-D

  2. In this video we will have a look at the Vectrex homebrew game Vector Patrol, then we will check out the budget slim carts from Fury Unlimited, we will have a look at 2 new homemade analog controllers made by Chopperthedog and Rolo, we will have a quick look at the game Crossfire, then we will check out the latest version 3.0 of the Sean Kelly multicart, we will play a bit of the latest homebrew game called “Menschenjagd” and then we will have a look at the 2 new games 2048 and Rocks ´n´ Saucers from Thomas Sontowski for his VecFever multicart.

  3. So finally had some time to put that great kit together and as I have neither time nor motivation making another video, here at least some photos of my version. It is not perfect and I made some stupid mistakes, which I cannot fix without getting another new case, but that´s way too much work for my taste, at least it works pretty well.

    ;-)

    Took me some time to find a proper case and it works great with “analog games” like Star Sling or Spikes Circus, Vector Patrol does not need analog controls, but the auto fire feature is quite helpful there. Also tested it with the latest version of Menschenjagd and it worked great even no analog controls required there. BTW, keep an eye on that game, I personally found it exciting and fun to play and I also like the speech output of that game. One photo shows the new joystick compared to 2 other analog homebrew sticks from my collection.

  4. Beta Phase said in another thread; "Quadromania is the larger chip soldered onto a red PCB. Will be updating the site and providing more pics soon." So, I'm assuming it's not curved. Der Luchs version will be curved.

    Ok, thanks a lot!

  5. Yes, I made an offer last week, I think it was 150 euro or so, and he answered with 796 :)

    You all should do the same :grin:

    Same for his other adventures....

    Do the same? What if the seller would have accepted your offer, would you really pay 150 bucks for an over 30 years old disk, nobody knows if you can even read it? :P

  6. Got my FinalGROM 99 today and that thing is just mind blowing! Also that ZIP file on WHTech was super helful, now it is just plug & play.

    :-D :thumbsup:

    Took me a while to find a SD card that works 100%, with all my Sandsik SDHC 32GB cards I got a blinking LED when powering up, even after a reset everything seems to work fine. Found an old Lexar SDHC 4GB card and that one works fine.

    BTW the Jetpack ROM image from WHTech did not work on my setup. Not sure if it is the image or something else.
