Well done

-
Brilliant work with this project. Thanks to everyone involved.
Is there any way to increase the files per directory to 255, like other FAT32 based flash carts, or is 80 a hard limit of the 2600?
-
Ahh, I see. Thanks for the links. I have a Super NT ordered from batch two, but I won't see it until June when I make a trip home. Too risky to have sent it to Brazil, with the 100% import fees on tech.In case you missed it, that idea didn't seem to help from what I can tell:

and

Is there anyone that has reliably been able to save? (I can't try myself until the weekend, unfortunately)
Do you have a Super Nt Smoke Monster?
-
If you are experiencing save problems, please try formatting the SD card using fat32format or SD Formatter 5. Please report back with your settings if successful.

This isn't A jailbreak. It's an NT Mini on the PVM with a Super NT in the foreground.Hmm... so, were you informed this isn't THE jailbreak, or that this isn't A jailbreak? THE jailbreak, makes it seem like there is one, but that picture isn't it. A jailbreak, simply means that isn't a jailbreak, it's something else running.
-
Update: I was just informed that it's not the jailbreak. It must just be an NT Mini running on the PVM with the Super NT in the foreground. That makes sense since the SNT doesn't do RGB at all. Sorry if I got any hopes up!

Anyone else notice something interesting at 5:00 in Digital Foundry's review?
Also, about the settings: It might be nice to have a feature to export the settings to a save file. That would allow us to share our custom settings with others easily too.

Can cart audio be left enabled at all times, or should it be disabled when not in use?

This is a great tool, haroldoop. I played around with it a bit tonight to see how it works.

all this Atarivox discussion - I remember when I tried to get one a couple of years ago, they were hard to come by / not available online.
I bought my Atarivox+ (for my Vectrex w/VecMulti and VecFlash) from the AtariAge store last year, which is the official source. You just have to check the store regularly until they're back in stock, since they are produced in batches.
-
Yeah, we don't have Atarivox bios, and even if we did, the device is still being actively sold so I couldn't include them anyways. I imagine that Kev coded compatibility in with the hopes that some day in the future the Atarivox bios are made public.
-
Yeah, I think it might be against the rules to name the site directly but it's the first hit following Wolf_'s suggestion.

Wolf_ and I have released a complete Analogue NT Mini Jailbreak Pack over at the site where the EverDrive Packs are released. Everything is included, so it's just copy/paste to an SD for a full setup. All credit goes to Wolf_ for compiling over the last few months

Is anybody else having a difficult time trying to get the RCA Studio 2 to boot and load games? I did read the readme files and am still not having any luck. I see there are several bios files for the system. Is any one better than the other to rename? Do the games need to be in .bin or .rom format?
Here is a pack of all the correct/best bios files for all NT cores (minus Atarivox, which won't be available since it's still being sold). They're all named properly -- copy them to the root of your SD card and you'll be all set.
NT Mini Jailbreak Bios Collection.zip
Also, here are the four titles requiring fixes that Kev mentioned in the Atari 7800 Core Notes:
Commando - Pokey Patched
Sentinal - NT Fixed
Summer Games - NT Fixed
Winter Games - NT Fixed
This will all be included in the NT Mini Complete Pack that Wolf_ and I will be releasing. No date on that yet, but it will be worth the wait. It will be released at the site with the EverDrive Packs which shall not be named.

You'll be able to put ROM files of arcade games from systems with similar architecture to SD card can play them on the Darksoft Multi. He hasn't said exactly which platforms he's working on, but it will be 68000-based games with similar tile sizes to MVS (Model 2, System 16, etc).Not sure what "Darksoft is also rolling in FPGA support for other arcade systems that had similar architecture to Neo Geo" even mean ... unless he's remaking an FPGA version of MVS and other arcades I don't think any other arcade used the MVS cart pinout so not sure how a multi would work .... adaptors maybe.
Longest load time on the prototype Darksoft Neo Geo Multi is 18 seconds for the largest games.Wrt fast loading we'll see .... wrt timing we'll see that too
-
The best of both worlds are likely coming to the Darksoft Neo Geo Multi. It's powerful enough and has the memory to load NGCD-to-MVS conversions without the loading times. Darksoft is also rolling in FPGA support for other arcade systems that had similar architecture to Neo Geo. Much like kev is doing for the NT Mini. You can follow all of that over at Arcade-Projects.
Pre-orders are supposed to open soon. Darksoft's will be the same price as the NeoSD, but much more powerful and fully featured, and with lightning fast loading times.
-
Here are the three Odyssey2 speech bios for anyone searching. They're the best ones to use with the NT Mini. They'll also be available in the upcoming O2 NT Pack that I'll be releasing.

Ha! ThanksWhen the greatest compiler/organizer of roms, hacks, and homebrew shows up to the party with the greatest fpga developer it is a bromance made in heaven.
I just wish I could send you a Nt mini to test stuff on because I'm sure you would go nuts on it.
But just to be clear, we're not teamed up or anything. I'm just following his progress here in awe and doing my thing independently.

Dig Dug 37th Anniversary Edition
in Atari 2600 Hacks
Posted · Edited by Smoke Monster
This is an awesome hack, NostAlgae37. Any plans to continue it one day? I'm seeing some glitches in MiSTer, but its 2600 core is still in the early stages of dev I believe.
