Charlie_ Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I have a Flashrom99 cart. I haven't learned much about it yet, but I am wondering... can I use this flashcart as an Extended Basic or E/A cart? Or is that possible only with FinalGrom99? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to research what a GROM is. I'm not too knowledgeable about the TI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie_ Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share Posted May 6, 2021 Thanks all. I was reading about the flashrom99 here. https://endlos99.github.io/flashrom99/ And it says it does not require any other hardware or the PEB. I didn't spend a lot of time with it but I noticed without the PEB plugged in some roms would only show a blue screen but with the PEB they seemed to work fine. I'll play around a little more this evening, but does this seem normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Individual ROMs, of course, may require 32 KiB RAM and/or other cards requiring the PEB or equivalent (nanoPEB, ...). Such is the case, for example, with my fbForth 2.0 cartridge. ...lee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Many roms have 32 in the name, those require 32k.. some people didn't bother to do that, ymmv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
