  1.  

    Was looking for the latest as well. I don't know what that lynximage.zip is for. Thought it was for the preview images, but I guess it needs the latest menu version.

    Also would like some basic installation information unless it's enough to copy all to the root and obvious places.

     

    Otherwise I'm just glad I got it now. Been waiting forever. And the wait was worth it. Thanks SainT!! (and GadgetUK for contributions) =)

     

    Yes you take the latest menu version 1.6 from here http://atariage.com/forums/topic/253167-retro-hq-sd-cart-menu-14/and also GedgetUK´s files from there, put it on the SD card in the root directory (the preview files are in _preview then) and then you see the preview pictures as shown in the video here starting around 8:50:

  2. I guess you mean the controller fascia / overlay? I only know those from Rich / RWAP Software, that´s the same gentleman that sells replacement keyboard membranes and other stuff for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum on his "SellMyRetro" platform. You can get a MB and GCE version, no Japanese Bandai version so far, here the GCE US version:

    I guess you can also buy the same product slightly more expensive over eBay from him.


  3. I have a Lotharek drive as DSK 1 & 3 (could not get it working as 1 & 2) and a Sony 3,5" disk drive as DSK 2. I have taken the Sony drive just beause it was cheap, easy to find and I had the space in my PEB.

    I did the 80 track TI controller mod with 80 tracks for all 3 drives.

    No external drive so far.


  4. I had so many retro computer and retro gaming related devices that screamed for 3D printed cases, but they usually never showed up. And when they did, they were ugly as hell, expensive, or didn´t really fit that well.

    Well let´s hope that here it will be different, also still would be interested in a nice looking solution.

  5. I was looking for a case for my new FlashROM 99 cart and as the case used for old „Romox“ carts should work fine, I was even thinking for a minute if I should destroy the only Romox cart I own, but then I decided to go for a quick & dirty „hack“ solution and I used an original classic TI cart instead.

    It didn´t need to look perfect as I wanted to use only parts I had already at home. The bigges problem with my hack here is that I used superglue to keep the 2 parts oft the case together, as I had no better idea how to do that, so the huge downside of that solution here is, that I need to crack open the case if I ever need to fix something or upgrade the cart.

  6. Got mine today, thanks a lot Ksarul! :D :thumbsup:

    Don´t know yet how to use the new features, but at least the memory test worked, it behaves like a standard 32k card and most important, thanks for putting also a LED on the PCB, I would really miss that feature.

    Now the only thing missing for a "perfect setup" is some way to get the speech synthesizer into the PCB without buying some super rare PEB card for 500.000$ from eBay that shows up every 10 years there and then it is from a seller that does not even ship to Europe. ;)

  7. Guys, what I showed on my channel was an early prerelease, I made that clear also in the video and it says that also in the first post.

    When I show something like that it means that item is not ready yet. Why do I still show stuff early whenever I get a prerelease version? So that you know about upcoming projects.

    Sorry in case that was still confusing for some of you.

  8. I remember before we got this excellent mod from Mc Will, others tried similar mods with similar functionality. In the end those were not for free either, because as every engineer will know development does cost a lot of time and money. None of the other solutions I have seen so far did work that great with so many features than this mod here. Please let´s keep in mind this here is not some Nintendo DS flashcart made in China for millions of users, this is something for a quite limited target group.

    To be honest this is one of the nicest mods I ever bought for any system and it was worth every cent, just saying...
