PsychedelicShaman Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Thought I would post this in the Lynx section, a new flash cart for the Lynx is in development, you can check out the news here, and visit the main site for updates. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matashen Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Maybe it would be great to have a new suzy with output to modern screens. But flashcards already exists - do you dont know it? what is the difference beetween the existing ones from Lynxman, karri and lars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychedelicShaman Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 But flashcards already exists - do you dont know it? what is the difference beetween the existing ones from Lynxman, karri and lars? I have the one from Lynxman, what are the flash carts from karri and lars? I'm not sure how this one will turn out, just creating a thread about this flash cart in case someone wants to follow the progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matashen Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 you dont answered my question. What is the advantage of your flashcart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flavor Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 That's not PsychedelicShaman's flash cart. He was just kind enough to post news he knew about. I am building that new flash cartridge. I haven't posted here about it, because I din't feel it's far enough along to start discussing much. As far as the question about what the advantage is, I guess I don't see this as a competitor to something. I know that there are other carts available. This is just something I want to work on to see if I can implement some new things. If it all works out, I will produce some and make them available if others also want these features. A couple of the features I plan to add include software-selectable banks and MicroSD storage. The MicroSD is the big thing I want to implement. I think it would be a great way for homebrew developers to retrieve larger chunks of data and write save-game/configuration sort of data. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I think the more flashcarts, the better. Good luck with your project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Been any progress with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venom4728a Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I will purchase one, especially if it has microsd storage. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flavor Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Sorry guys, the project has been on hiatus for a while due to summer travel and other irregular schedule issues. I hope to get back to it soon. My initial tests have all gone well. I just need to do a redesign to add more intended features and fix some issues I had to work around on the initial build. Some of the features might be a bit DIY at first. I think I'll try to implement the hardware features, but they may require some new code to take advantage of. Anyway, I'm out of town at the moment, so I can't really elaborate. I may need some help with that part, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael David Morsette Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 SD card support would be fantastic. I definately commit to buy when you finish. Thanks for contributing to us Lynx fanatics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killersquirel Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I definitely will be interested in getting one of these when they become available. Thanks for working on this project. -mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isolomon6 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Hello, I just found this doing a quick google search. I'm very interested in this flash cart. Looking forward to hearing more news about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 SD card support would be fantastic. I definately commit to buy when you finish. Thanks for contributing to us Lynx fanatics Got a Lynxman cart, but would pick up one of the these for the ease of SD card support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flavor Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Hey guys. I know it's been a while since I talked about this project. It's still on my list of things to do, but, honestly, I have not put much time into this project lately. I really would like to fully build this cart and a WonderSwan flash cartridge. Those are on my list of goals, but there is no timetable on them at the moment. I'm hoping that "real life" slows down in a couple months here. Thanks for the interest, guys! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Updates of any kind are awesome - even if just that you're alive and well! Take your time. Do it right. Flash carts for these systems will be a BIG boost to homebrew. You can only do so much with emulators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bombidragon Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Looking forward to this especially with sd card support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GadgetUK Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Yeah, I am as well! I love new hardware and software for retro systems, and an SD card with a selector / launcher prog (like everdrive) would be totally awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flavor Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) Hey guys. Thanks for keeping the interest up. I have some updates, but they are much more about my personal/professional life than they are about the Lynx flash cart project. Friday (yeah, 3 days ago) was the last day at the job I've been at for 15 years (18 years if you count internships during college). It was a good run, but it's time for me to move on to work on new ventures. One of the ventures I want to have more time for is this Lynx cart, and I am also very interested in building a WonderSwan flash cart. However, the main project I will be working on over the next several months is an iPad/iPhone game. Even though I know this is my top priority project, I will still have time for my electronics projects. In fact, I should be able to devote more time/effort on projects like this than I had in the past, becuase I will be viewing them more as a business instead of a hobby (even if no particular project is a substantial source of income). This last Friday was also the day we put our current house up for sale. The market for my type of house should be strong here, so I hope to sell within a month. Once that happens, we will move to another state and work on making our new house livable before moving in. This will take substantial time and resources, but when it's ready, then I will settle into my new life/profession/etc. and start these projects back up. Thanks guys! I'm leaning on support from people like you to make this work out over the next couple of years. If you would like to follow along with my progress in any of this, please check out either http://www.flashmasta.com (for flash cart stuff) or my personal site http://www.edmandy.com Edited May 27, 2013 by Flavor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GadgetUK Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the update! Hope the job and house move goes well. Regards iPad and iPhone gaming, check out cocos2d, its what i've used and it works really well with tonnes of options.

Would you still recommend cocos2d for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GadgetUK Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Tbh I would still use cocos2d with objective C, it's very easy to use and has tonnes of simple to use apis, for sprite rotation, scalling, distorting, colouring, flipping, etc. Objective C can be a bit mind melting when it comes to memory management imo, hardest language i've ever had to learn.

Thanks for the info. This will be a major task for me in the upcoming week or two. I have some other decisions and tasks to complete before I make that choice, but it is definitely looming.
