SainT Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Ok, pre-order list updated! Sending out the next 20 invoices now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlChengis Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I have NeoGeo Pocket SD and Lynx SD active and Jag SD in the works. So there's a lot going on! Hi SainT. Did you say NeoGeo Pocket SD? How do I get on that list? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SainT Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Hi SainT. Did you say NeoGeo Pocket SD? How do I get on that list? Thanks. http://www.retrohq.co.uk/neogeo-pocket-pre-order As ever, there's a bit of a wait... I've been trying to sort out my 3D printing setup, but the cold weather over here is causing me pain. I've built a heated enclosure for the printers, just need to get it all setup properly then I can print a shit-load of shells out. Time seems to be such a scarce commodity....

SainT Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) And just so people are aware, the price has gone up a bit. Sorry. This added to the first post -- From Jan 2018 the price is increasing from £65 to £70 (UK pounds) due to exchange rate changes, price of components and availability of cheap memory card all causing increased costs for some time. I've been absorbing it until now, but costs just seem to keep rising. The UKP/USD exchange rate plummeted after the UK voting to leave the European Union (although has recovered a bit) and I pay for PCB production in USD. The cost of SRAM and memory card have also gone up a lot. Edited October 25, 2019 by SainT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

42bs Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) I see the Lynx software in the start post. What about the PIC (correct?) SW? Can it be updated? Do you plan to open this as well? Edited January 16, 2018 by 42bs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's staying closed. Keeping that closed is the only IP protection I have, as the board is otherwise off the shelf parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spector Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I'm interested, but is there a site that goes into more detail about the flash card? How compatible is it with the original software and homebrews, for example? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you plan to open this as well? Hi guys. The above exchange confused me a bit. Are you saying that the source code is available for an earlier version of the menu/browsing software, but the latest version is closed source due to IP (since hw is off the shelf)? I assume the cards are shipping with the latest version (non downloadable), correct? Is anyone running a 3rd party version of the browsing software? If yes, is it possible to revert back to the original? Probably stupid questions, but my card is in the mail and I haven't had the chance to play with it yet, so all I can do is speculate. Thanks for clarifying! Edited January 17, 2018 by IlChengis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42bs Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Hi guys. The above exchange confused me a bit. Are you saying that the source code is available for an earlier version of the menu/browsing software, but the latest version is closed source due to IP (since hw is off the shelf)? I was referring to the software which runs in the PIC on the card which handles the "real" FATFS and copying from SD card to SRAM (as far as I understand). Not the software which runs on the Lynx. Just look into the source (1st post). The PIC receives commands from the Lynx. If the PIC software would be open/could be replaced, there would be room for more (like off-loading calculations) features besides the filesystem.

If the PIC software would be open/could be replaced, there would be room for more (like off-loading calculations) features besides the filesystem. Maybe you could help me out with giving me a bit more background to this flashcard - How compatible is it with the original games and homebrew titles? Is it 100%? I have a really old flash cart of sorts and it has Raiden on it which goes wonky after the game ends, and I never did find out whether that was the flash cart or the bin file that was responsible. The main thing is though - is it 100% compatible with the commercial releases of the day? Does the speed of loading games depend on the size of the games? If so, how long are the loading times? I'm guessing the answer to this one is 'no', but can you make snapshots of Lynx games to save your position? Thanks for reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SainT Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 But updating is possible? Using a PIC programmer, yep. Not from the Lynx though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
