We'll look at adding XM/YM2151 support to Argon. I have an instance of A7800 running in my DEV environment (VS Code). It runs in XM mode. I installed a separate instance to run games outside of VS Code, since I cannot locate where that instance is installed. My new instance will not run in XM mode. I assume I am missing an XM image. Can somebody help me either locate where VS Code has installed A7800 (I tried using looking through the debugger and couldn't find it), and/or tell me where to find the XM image? Thanks!

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hizzy Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 He might be asking for an adapter to be able to plug a cart into instead of using an sd card. Then the adapter could plug into the dragonfly. At that point, it would be a true replacement for the XM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj1307 Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 No, it won't work like that, Dragonfly is not an XM replacement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause the Dragonfly actually completed in a reasonable amount of time, you didn't take tens of thousands from people ahead of time and didn't have 10 years of bullshit with nothing shipping. You designed, completed, sold and shipped to the masses. Of course it's nothing like the XM. It's much, much better. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offbase Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Is it too late to get on the pre-order list? And if not, should I go ahead and make payment? Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hastor Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I'd like to be on the list for a fully loaded purple one (no power cable needed though, if I understand, original 7800 PSU doesn't need it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+groundtrooper Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I would like a Purple Cart with PokeyMax and Yamaha Chips. Thanks Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj1307 Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 I updated the list. I get questions as I ship more cartridges. Well, I should have done it a week ago, but the PCB shipment is stuck in Germany, I hope to receive it soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggimac Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 You can add me to the List as well ? I'll take a Dargonfly, YM2151 Module, Pokey plus the cartridge-console cable (original Connector) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekopaa Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) 1 pcs Burgendy with Pokeymax+Yamaha modules put me on the list. Does Dragonfly allow NTSC roms play on PAL A7800? Edited December 19, 2020 by tekopaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that is how my cart works. I think you have it backwards. NTSC roms always sort of work on PAL 7800s. Some better than others. It is playing PAL roms on an NTSC 7800 that can be problematic.

CPUWIZ Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Yep, I sure did. Either way, the cart isn't going to check the copy protection on a ROM file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You designed, completed, sold and shipped to the masses. Of course it's nothing like the XM. It's much, much better. IN some ways yes, and some not. The XM also had an SIO2 Port, Hi Score saving, and the extra 128K of Ram, unless the Dragonfly will have these as well? I didn't read that. It also will not play carts, only ROM files, so if you don't have the ROM for a game you like and cannot get or dump it, you don't get the benefits. It will be interesting how this will play out as the ROM's will need to be made available to use the sound features, but how will copy protection be handled, if at all? Maybe it was discussed here already, I came late to this. Sorry for that if I missed it, haven't had the time to read it all yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a big deal for me as I prefer to play on the actual cart and not use ROMS. I was hoping for a way to play the actual carts with the hardware much like the Sonic and Knuckles worked on the Sega Genesis but this projects focus is not that, which I respect. I still want the dragonfly for what it is however. Edited December 22, 2020 by imstarryeyed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I don't understand the need or want for a passthrough to play carts... when this thing eliminates the need for carts. The roms on an SD cart play exactly the same as an original eprom cart. Another thing to know is playing games from and SD cart is not emulation (as far as i know), and anything is better than emulation in most cases, although I will say emulating the 2600 on Stella is WAY better than original hardware. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
