Hi,

Dumb question for the hardware guys, could we do the same thing like Doom with SuperFX3 for the SNES but with an Amstrad CPC cartridge ? It is using a Raspberry Pico2 2350.

The difficulty I suppose, would the cartridge with a 2350 have enough electricity to work, without endangering a CPC (with the Plus2CPC or Play2CPC), GX4000 or CPC+ alimentation ?

Or can the cartridge have it's own alimentation maybe ?

Not related, but 15 other posts and bingo !

There are problems:
- the cartridge doesn't have a write signal
- the cartridge doesn't have access to z80 signals for I/O

therefore very limited by communications with the cart and any communication operations would need to be done by reading from various rom addresses.

It may be possible to be creative and run a pi on the board and the software runs on the pi AND this pi has a video output.

What would be possible is to attach the PI to expansion of the Amstrad with the software on the cart but then this would not work on GX4000 but would work on CPC and Plus.
