I would highly recommend just grabbing an emulator (BGB works well on windows, sameboy also works good) and a copy of the LSDJ rom for free before you spend a penny. Absolutely no reason to spend money on it until you know why you'd need it!

Unless the goal is to buy some gear with is a whole hobby in itself big_smile

I think we'll go ahead and get some modern interface put together. Should be small and about the same price as scannerboy used to sell them for. I'll update here with any news!

Always love a nice 2xDMG track. Enjoyed this!

I know the code uses libftdi to do some stuff beyond just usb-serial, so there's probably some black magic in there somewhere.

Worth pointing out that these cartridges should work fine with any other flasher you can buy right now. Also I just noticed the battery is missing so saving won't work!

Would you be interested in trading? I'm mostly just interested in documenting old/obsolete hardware. I could trade for an EZ Flash Jr. which is SD based, or something else? Either way, no big deal.

This is the source I've compiled on Mac, not sure exactly on Linux but it says it works: https://github.com/cubicstyle/gbcartfla … .1_libftdi

That is a "bleepbloop usb" cartridge. What OS are you using? You can compile the flasher for mac or linux, but on mac you have to do some funkiness to get macos to not mount the serial interface with it's default driver.

Just a heads up, I'm not totally sure but the images in your post aren't loading for me. The images on bandcamp work fine however!

Just connect via usb, it doesn't work over DIN AFAIK. I've heard web midi on windows is a little tricky and doesn't work, one user reported having to use their android phone to do it. Not totally sure!

Web editor is compatible, the new version added DIN but still has USB MIDI smile

Trash80 is working on the second "production" run but it's looking like it's still months away. This is the only reason for not selling more, not because anyone doesn't want you to have one!

In the mean time, he's released a "headless" firmware which allows you to buy a Teensy 4.1 and run the M8 code on it and control everything over USB (including display output). This is a great option since you can take full advantage of M8, just not portable. Then when the production run happens, you can simply buy one and transfer your songs over!

Just wanted to say we've got Jamatar's GENajam make into some nice hardware that's now for sale. His work here is really incredible.
