    Software update.
    Changes:

    - Acceleration of loading games from the SD card
    - Added support for 272kB and 528kB files
    - An option to enable / disable showing the file name before loading the game into memory has been added to the Menu. Disabling this option speeds up file loading by 1.2s

     

    After updating the software, it is necessary to set the newly added options in the Menu.

     

    I also updated the user manual:Manual.pdf

     

    v1.04.zip

    Software update.
    Changes:
    - The maximum data transfer speed in developer mode has been doubled.
    - The possibility to change the baud rate for RS232 has been added in the MENU.
    - Contrast adjustment for the LCD display has been added in the MENU.
    - Forced startup of the console without a game loaded has been added. To do this, turn off the cartridge, press and hold the ESC button and turn on the power.
    - In the development mode, loading a new game does not require turning off the power, just press the ESC button.
    - Minor cosmetic fixes

     

    To update the cartridge, upload the dragon.bin file to the root directory of the SD card, insert the SD card and turn on the cartridge's power supply. The bootloader will start automatically, after it is finished, delete the dragon.bin file from the SD card.

     

    v1.03.zip

    Hey RJ1307 any chance of the cart offering a passthrough to allow a cart to stack on it for games that support the Pokey or games made for the XM?

     

    It would be great to be able to play XM games as they are created in the future.

     

    I don't know if I understand you well. Dragonfly should correctly run games written for XM that use Pokey, YM2151 or 16kB RAM. I have kept the addressing compatible.

    I have a request for either rj1307 or anyone who receives their Dragonfly in either red or purple... if you could just post a few well lit pics of the shell so we can all get an idea of the actual colors.

     

     

    The photo is dark, but it renders colors reasonably well.

    Do you know how long it will take to receive them?

    Today I sent a few pieces that I had prepared, now I'm waiting for PCBs that should be coming soon and I'm starting to assemble. Holidays and the New Year are coming, so by the end of December I will make a few pieces, but I will catch up only in January.
    The case can generate the biggest delay, I am able to print about 10 copies a week, so I have been printing all the time for some time.

     

    In the list from the first thread, I mark the people to whom I sent the cartridge, after that you can follow the progress. :)

    So basically a power supply like this? (seems like I've bought these for many modern projects these days): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q2E5IXW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1&fpw=alm

    No, this power supply is 12V and it should be 9V. Remember that the console is powered by the same voltage. Of course, both Dragonfly and the console will turn on, but they will heat up much more.

    Thanks.

     

    Silly question : in order to play an original cartridge or 2600 cartridge on the console, do we need to replug the power supply, or can the Dragonfly act as power through, even if not plugged in the console ?

    The question is not stupid at all;)
    Maybe just load some game and then the cartridge will allow power to the console. But with the next software update I will do it easier, turning on the cartridge with the ESC button pressed will turn on the power for the console :)

    One red with pokey please.  Is this all I need to be able to immediately plug it in and play 7800 ROMs?  Console isn't modded in any way.

    Yes, even the Basic version alone is enough to run the vast majority of games.

    I want one. Basic, assuming it will take an original pokey chip right?

    Yes, you can insert your own Pokey chip and enable it in the Menu.

    Ya think I'll probably go with red but would be cool to see close ups of the purple/pink color in the same lighting.

    I will try to take photos in the near future.

    Did it come with that label??

    Everyone will have this label, but if you don't like it, it's easy to peel off ;) 

     

    @hizzy, any power supply with a voltage of 9V and a current of 1.5A or higher, and 5.5 / 2.1mm plugs will be good, as long as it is of good quality and will keep parameters.,

    Of course it works well as a single pokey, this is its main quest.
    You could buy a Pokey Max from a distributor (Duddie "Retronics"), insert it into a Dragonfly or Commando original, and have it run as a single Pokey, but it wouldn't work as a Dual Pokey.
    The Pokey Max that I have on offer I buy from Duddie and change the software to one that allows you to activate Dual Pokey and Covox. So we have these functions "for free".  :)

    Download the Manual from the first post, there is a plug drawing and description, that should dispel any doubts. You need a power supply with a suitable plug, the original one will not fit.
    I will keep assembling the cartridges as long as I have enough strength and the elements will be available, I continued my previous project (AgaCart) for over a year. :)

    Only when the cartridge is ready for shipment, will I send a message asking for the color of the housing, the selected cartridge configuration (even if someone mentioned it before), asking for the address and sending the payment details.
