Hello guys... today I invested about 3 hours searching the best solution to flash this kind of cartridges (specially from a mac). So this are the results of my tests:
1. Because I don't have a PC computer to test more until next week, I just started today looking for a solution for mac users. I downloaded Crossover (trial version) http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/22636/crossover in order to run the FlasManager.exe (win) installer aplication.
2. With the BleepBloop programmer attached to a native USB port of my mac I tested all of the opening settings of the FlashManager app without no success!. At this point I thought that the BleepBloop programmer would not work with this old software.
3. The only good thing and confirm what Bit Shifter mentioned before is the support with GB Xchanger adapter (check the attached SS for more details). The big issue is that seems HARD to find one those these days, and I don't have a friend with one to make test. Also this adapter was Parallel port enhanced :-(.
Final conclusion at the moment would be:
A. Find / Buy a GB Xchanger
B. Buy a Parallel to USB port adapter like this one (fuck they are so expensive): http://www.amazon.com/Ambir-33004-Paral
B00006HXPZ
C. Plug the GB Xchanger to Parallel por and the USb into my mac... then run the FlashManager app using CrossOver and cross the fingers ;-)
D. Buy an old PC hardware with parallel port... YUK!
Any thoughts?
Do you have a GB Xchanger hardware to share or sell to me?
Thanks!
