Oh wow. If we do get a new shell then lots of people will be happy...

Anything that stops me having to cannibalise one of my 4 burning rubber carts is ok with me.

^ coming soon - a member of the circuit-board forum has a 3D printer and he'll get it on asap. ;)

Here you can see some pictures of his 1st protoype.
Fantastic!

I did some testing on my version of nocart. My test program confirmed that the cartridges are good. So v1.5 has gone from a "testing" to a "release" version.

I will release a v1.6 soon. I will patch it so that the cartridge believes it is a single drive system for a bit more compatibility. Currently, both drive 0 and drive 1 access the same disc on the cartridge. I will change that. All other drives will report not ready (or report they don't exist).

v1.6 will have a fix to the get drive status command so that it works correctly.

I hope later today to release two new tools:

- makesys

This tool allows you to choose os, basic and dos and it will make a system cartridge; same configuration as the standard basic cartridge. Save Craig copying/cating/splitting files.

- makecart

This tool allows you to define os, and up to 16 expansion roms. A modified firmware will then access those. Cartridge will look like a 6128 system with the expansion roms you choose :)

Looks really good on 3D views; just have to wait for final prototype :)

I must have one of those.

Fantastic!

I just got a message from the "producer" that the 1st test printings will start this week. So stay tuned...  ;D

I got mine today as well and it worked fine. I was playing a bit around with it on my GX-4000 and pluged it out to insert the original Babarian 2 cart...
Now nothing is working anymore-when I insert the Babarian 2 cart there is only graphic mish mash on the screen and if I put the C4CPC back the screen stays black. All dip switches are on top position. Please help-is there anything what I can do ?

Kris

I think it could be interesting to start counting how many cases to produce  ;D
I will need 2 .

Ast

1 for me for sure, if the price is correct.

Any suggestions for a label design?  :)

I want 4. One for each of my burning rubber carts.

The number printed in paper in the c4cpc is important?.

It is starting to pull away afrom the side.

It's the card serial number, helpful for me in case of trouble. It is also displayed when starting the cart without SD.

for c4cpc I think all switches are down except last which is up.
Then you have the selection menu.

It is possible there is a bad contact with the gx4000 or perhaps you need to remove and re-insert the cartridge.

Good luck, I hope it is not broken.
