I mainly want to use them for my own software and sounds (like new samples for a Roland tr-505, or songs on an Atari 2600) so there will probably be a lot of testing and changing code/samples. So having someone else burn them for me isn't really an option. (Also takes the fun out of it... I like playing around tongue )

Thanks for all the info! I'll be sure to explore it all.

Hello internetz!

So, I'm quite interested in starting doing stuff with EPROMs etc. but I have no clue where to get started. I did some googling, but a basic introduction is hard to find.

Mainly I want to use it for stuff like Atari 2600 roms. Gameboy eprom carts and drum computer samples.

And other stuff I didn't think about earlier.

So, how do I get started in the wonderful world of eprom programming?

Some stuff to keep in mind:
I'm poor. So I don't have a lot of money to buy those fancy USB automatic eprom things.
But I don't mind a little workaround. (You should see the way I backup my ems carts...)

Let's hear your experience! And share knowledge! Get smart!

Yes.
A new arduinoboy version would be sexy.

To be honest, I kinda liked the bug where the cursor stayed at the same place...

Question:
How do you wipe your arse with 2 broken arms.

Damn, that must suck...
Hope all heals well, and fast.

Seriously tho, what kind of school do you attend where teacher get mad if you bring a gameboy?
Did he give a reason why he didn't want you to bring one?

Hurrah! I'm documented! tongue

Did you take the cart out of the gameboy before connecting?

If the 64M carts sound like a pain... Why go for the 32M?
They are even harder to work with.

If you want easy, go for drag' n'derp, if you have the money.

Why does the cart say "SAM"?
Wouldn't it make more sense for it to say "Oliver" or something, seeing as that's the name of the guy who wrote it iirc.

If you "made" your own pcb, you can put whatever you want on it and it doesn't have to make sense.

That too

The manual did have "blue" written on it.
He probably had lots of coloured or otherwise non-standard cases, and had a few colour options.

What I heard is that there was a run of something like 200 units of nanoloop 1.0, but because of various bugs and saving trouble, most of them where replaced with version 1.1 quite quickly.

Seeing this was the first batch, he probably made them with whatever cases he had laying around?
just guessing.

Dat UV window.

Well, nanoloop is kinda confusing as well.

It seems to have a problem with saving tho. Lots of crashes. But i read that nanoloop 1.0 had a lot of bugs/production errors, and was replaced with 1.1 quite quickly.

Still cool to have one smile
