If any of you have an NES and want to buy this cart for its potential expansion audio capabilities you may want to know that expansion audio will not work with standard 60 to 72 pin connectors; even with the expansion audio mod.  Standard converter carts do not have their expansion pins tracing to the cart edge.  In summary you will have to mod the converter as well.

So in conclusion people will have to produce new cart converters, modify their own, or wait for Everdrive NES.

Welp, here we go. An other level.

I consulted with kevtris of NESdev to get a taste of what this cart could potentially do for chip musicians.

First off, what are the chips on board?

kevtris wrote:

(There are) 3 level xlators, small flash ROM, large sector based flash ROM, two SRAMs, CPLD, FPGA (cyclone 2) and a USB chip.

Chatting a little more we noticed that the FPGA on the Everdrive FC is larger than the one in the PowerPak.  This means it could store more logic all at once.  My first question was could it potentially fit all known expansion audio chips at once.  The answer is that it certainly could.

Now multi-chip NSFs could potentially no longer be a "hack."

Let's wait for more information to unfold. smile
