I dunno... the STD Flash! might be fun the first time you use it at least... sure it goes downhill from there but at least you get one shot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poconojo Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I cannot figure out how to get the LTO flash to work. My Mac will not recognize the flash cart. Is there a step by step video on how to do the installation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pc would not recognize my cart until I downloaded a driver from https://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm There is an option for Mac on that page. I got that step working but roms are not showing up on the cart when I put it in the console. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macs running 10.9 or later should already have a native FTDI driver that comes with the OS. If you're running 10.7 or 10.8, you will need to install the FTDI VCP drivers from FTDI's web site. The GUI doesn't support MacOS before 10.7. I have not yet tried the new M1 based Macs, but I expect they should work. LTO Flash! looks like a serial port to the operating system.

Bought today. I think the problem is when I try to open the LTO application it says the LTO Flash quit unexpectedly. I am not the greatest with computers. Something I am doing wrong.

poconojo Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 This is becoming very frustrating for me. I have no clue what I am doing trying to set this up. I just know nothing about computers. I am giving up on this tonight and will try to figure out what I am doing wrong tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you start the computer, and without plugging in the ltoflash, are you able to start the ltoflashui application? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+intvsteve Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 That's why it took so long for the latest batch, actually. I had promised @intvnut not to talk about it, but the real reason for the delay was that getting the quantum-entanglement-enabled shrink wrapper working was a real hit-or-miss operation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hastor Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I was on the original batch, had two windows PCs and following the same steps it only worked with one of them. That was good enough for me not to spend my time trying to troubleshoot the other, but it did seem to like one PC and not the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITAdvantage Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Anyone know if there are known issues with the Sears variant? Nothing wrong with the LTO, I can navigate the menu just fine and original games like worm whomper work fine but I was trying to play Sydney Hunter, Zaxxon and Copter Command and they all think I'm constantly pushing up. Different controllers do the same thing and variations of troubleshooting do nothing. Just making sure I'm not missing something obvious.

+intvsteve Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Strange... Do you happen to have a controller test ROM? IIRC FW Diagnostics ROM may be available, which will work awesome on Sears units, and let you see if there's anything glitchy w/ the controllers independent of the games in question.

intvnut Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I haven't officially fully opened direct orders, but I should probably go ahead and do so. I think all the stragglers from the original waiting list have come in that are going to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
