look up Faria in the title field, hit search, look at the Faria next to the US flag, checking the data for that will give you the 'boardtype' you need which is NES-SKROM-04, click that and that will tell you which cart you will need to use as a donor, incidentally it'll  also tell u which  cart you'd need to use to make a famicom cart if u step back and click the Faria next to the japanese flag smile
hope that helps \o_

I totally support this idea.

I third this sentiment.

I'll have to see. As for PR8 carts, that will have to happen eventually I think. I just haven't done the needed work to get that going yet.

Thanks for the interest, but the stuff I mentioned in here is old news. I have a new flash cartridge coming along (slowly, so sloooowly. sorry.) which I hope to eventually make for sale. Unfortunately life has been hell for me lately and I haven't had the time to really work on anything, which makes me very sad. So please stay tuned.

Arfink, do you have a blog or anything following the progress of this cartridge?

I understand how the NVSRAMs work, and a bank of shift registers would get the job done for addressing, which gets about half of the problem done for doing SRAM backup or programming the cartridge via serial or USB, but the UART is making my head hurt. It's probably more likely I'll use a PIC microcontroller if I'm going to take this route, since most of those have a UART built in. It'd save the problem of sorting out the whole protocol-hardware thing since that's programmed into the PIC. Assuming I can get a decent schematic layed out then I can move on to doing code, which is going to be the hard part, since I have never done much coding and driver coding seems very intimidating.

HOWEVER: I will point out that despite all of this I'm still willing to do NTRQ carts to my previous spec! This new design will take a very long time given my skill level, and most likely I'll be making a programmable NROM flash cartridge before I ever get around to doing MMC1. I have tried reading the NVSRAM's data through my EPROM programmer/reader device and it does work. All you have to do after that is get into a hex editor to change it up into a .SAV file.

In fact, I should probably make another thread for ramblings about new flash cart development, since it's derailing this topic.

This is certainly true.

Octavial: If you're serious then please PM me or send me an email- arfink (at) sdf.lonestar.org and we can work something out.

And with a UART, signal line multiplexers, an external USB connector, and all associated code, one might as well as an FPGA in the mix and make it just like the Power Pak. Of course, a cartridge and docking station type setup could certainly be done in the vein of the SpartBoy carts for GB, which would decrease the cost per cartridge by moving the programming apparatus into a separate device. I guess I'll look into it.
