If I am reading this correctly you can just buy an SNROM Flash Cart from him and he  will even pre-solder the eproms onto it then you buy his usb cart programmer and you can flash from usb say.... ntrq and just start making tunes right on the the NES? Is it really that easy?

Edit: Will the SNROM board work for pulsar as well?
Edit2: Im a dingus SXROM was listed at the needed board on the thread starting post. This is awesome there is no need for an EPROM burner anymore!

Edit: If you make no changes to the code and load it onto the teensy, when you put everything together and turn on your gameboy what LED should light up?  Sorry for a question I know is documented in the code its just helpful for me to be sure.

Does it default to a mode or do I need to specify that by editing the code?

have you tried running the software as superuser?

if sudo lsusb shows it up perhaps is a permission issue.

Or maybe changing the permissions  (chmod 777) over the ttyl1,

or whatever name the system gives to the plugged cart. Good luck!

I am not particularly versed in unix commands so just to be sure you mean to try typing "chmod 777 ems-flasher" then running "./ems-flasher --mycommand"?

I have tried that and it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Grab the version of the application that is under 'ghetto builds' at the bottom of the download page. That should fix it up

Awesome! Thanks, worked perfect.

So I am trying to flash my cartridge using virtualbox running linux (ubuntu). I compiled the code from the following website:

http://lacklustre.net/projects/ems-flasher/

However although when I type into terminal "sudo lsusb" the cartridge shows up, when I run any of the compiled executables to do something it says it can't find the cartridge. Are there drivers I need to install? I'm pretty confused it seems like everything is in place and it still can't seem to notice the cartridge.

Here is a terminal shot of the issue.

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

I built a teensyboy inside this dmg-07 some day ago very easy to do http://noizeinabox.blogspot.mx/2012/12/teensyboy.html

That's a really awesome idea. Do you know if it works on a teensy 3.0?

I am kind of new to PC based trackers and can't seem to get piggy tracker to work on my OSX system. I am running mavericks but I am not sure if that is the issue or if its my ignorance. When I download the file from the website there is no make file and no, readily viewable, source code. However there is an application. When I click it nothing happens at all. I tried checking my consoles but I just see nothing. Does someone know what I am doing wrong? I downloaded it from the official website.

Thanks for the help.

So I have two gameboys synced with a link cable and what keeps happening is when I put one of the saved sessions on slave mode that slave mode session's audio gets very quiet. If I switch it and make the quiet one the master and the other the slave it fixxes itself and both return to normal audio levels. But if I do it the other way around all the audio gets very low from that gameboy only. Does anybody know what happened? What did I do to make this happen or how I can fix it. Thanks for the help.
