Was in direct correspondence with him earlier in the year, he said it wasnt a priority because he has a kid.
Somebody needs to step up and make a decent flash cart

When I sent him an email he said that he didn't have the high quality cases for the carts anymore because the manufacturer stopped making them - I responded and asked if it was possible to purchase just the PCB, but he never replied....

Bennvenn. He says he's working on a usb cart. I picked up one of his sd carts. I like it. I'd beg him to finalize those. Maybe ship a box of cash to him.
Catskull? Why dont you offer one? Maybe everyone ship a box of cash to him too?
All i know is money is the key to happiness. Unless you have plenty of money.... Then giving it to everyone else is the key to happiness. So, ship me boxes of money.

Yeah Bennvenn is supposedly working on a Dragnderp replacement but has not updated regarding this product for several weeks. I have 2 El Cheapos but they are not as fast and reliable as the Dragnderp. I want a Dragnderp so that it will be compatible with LittleFM.

I said decent.
I'm going back to EMS carts because of how trash the El Cheapos are. You don't know how many songs I've lost to the terrible UI and bugs. I would hold my breath on those USB carts being worth any salt.

The 2 El Cheapos I have have been reliable, although I did end up returning a 3rd because there was some bug causing the SRAM to corrupt on every boot. I have also lost songs because I pressed up instead of down or vice versa and there is no confirmation dialog to make sure you don't overwrite your save either in SRAM or on the cart. Also, reading/writing a .sav from/to the SD card on a DMG is horribly slow, you can't swap out a save live and feel confident that it will be done before the current song is done playing. Actually if it were possible to use LittleFM to access the ROM on the El Cheapo this would solve my problem, maybe I'll reach out to nitro about it...

I would love to sell Drag n derps! How essential is the USB? Would something like asm's fightercart fit the bill?

I probably don't care about USB at this point - my main feature requests are 2mb ROM, 128kb SRAM, and LittleFM compatibility. According to nitro:

Compatibility: Sav backup to flash
LittleFM can use generic flashcarts based on the following flash chips: AM29F016, AM29F032b. This includes flash cartridges sold under names as Bleepbloop, Smartboy and Fighter Cart. It is also compatible with drag’n'derp.

I don't want to have to get another adapter for a cart. USB or SD would be preferable.

Yeah, a fightercart style thing wouldn't be that hard to do, but I've be reluctant to put steam into it because a) I don't really like directly competing with other things on the market (but fightercarts aren't on the market?), b) I don't really want to have to rely on a third party flasher (though the joey flasher is really nice IMO), and c) I didn't think people were into it. I'll have to keep thinking/experimenting.
