ianoid Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Hi folks, I just decided to dump some weird carts. I got through a bunch, but I can't get an image out of a single Romox ECPC cart. Is there anything special I should know to successfully dump these babies? I did dump a couple of retail Romox carts and was able to test the images on Altierra, which is how I'm testing all the images. I also had trouble dumping some weird utility carts, or at least I made dumps that I couldn't verify at like Magic Dump (version 1.0, a right cartridge), Super Cart Ace 80XL and SpectraView II. If those are all successfully archived in some way, I won't bother with them more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Spec-II cart uses identical bank switch method as orange cart OSS BXL. It has already been dumped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 That being said, dumping is important to see if there were changes between cart and inter revision changes as well. The more dumps the better. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianoid Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 So, to bump this, does anyone have any suggestions how to dump Romox ECPC carts with the Atarimax device? Any specific setting? Is the Atarimax guy a regular on the forums? If not maybe I should directly contact him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I lieu of someone knowing definitively showing up in short order... If it does, you would find it in the maxflash cartridge studio software under the dump menu, you can download it for free on the Atarimax website.... if that doesn't do it, unless someone speaks up, email classics at atarimax (steve) or give him a call... https://atarimax.com/flashcart/documentation/downloads/Maxflash_Studio_Installer.exe https://atarimax.com/flashcart/documentation/chapter3.html the best way to know is to download the studio and 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll email him. I did successfully dump several 8-bit carts and some other formats using the Maxflash, which was pretty easy, aside from not knowing the size of the carts and experimenting to get images that worked in Altierra.

_The Doctor__ Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) So long as you only read from the cartridge... try standard 8k and standard 16k cartridge type to read them... I remember vaguely ls8 ls16.... these carts were basically eproms and flashed according to whatever title they were assuming the identity of.
