Not every ROM must be an Expansion ROM!!! When using extension ROM no RAM will be wasted. For example you need only one ROM initialized for FutureOS, the other three ROM can or can not be initialized. I guess it's similar with symbos. And for games, if a game uses 2 or 3 ROMs, then just initialize the first one, a smart launcher system will find the other parts too. Just my 7 Pfennige.

Most of the 2- or 3-rom games are already made that way. Just the first rom is initialized, provides the RSX commands and wastes a few bytes of RAM.

Hello friends!

A little message to inform you that all X-MEM boards was done. (around 80 boards)
I have some (boring) MotherX4 and few MiniBooster to build and all will be sent!!!  ;D 

For information, some peoples answer when I ask for package information but don't when I ask to pay the shipping fees:-X
You have to know that I give your boards each time to next peoples on the list...

The "store" will reopen soon.
Have fun,

  TotO.

You'll always get those when you sell retro hardware. I found it to be about 10%. You learn to recognize and compensate for it though.

* CraigsBar hopes he never falls into that 10%.

Oh as well as the x-mem I am now waiting on a parcel from tradeinpost. 5 old carts that will get reprogrammed with 5 of the games I don't have. A couple of plus membranes and 3 games (two disc one tape) for £90 not too bad I s'pose.

And then there is the occasional loon like me who gives you a few euro extra because he thinks you deserve it :D

It was around 10% before I ask, then 5% left.
Because I don't do that for money, it's more easy for me to refund them and not waste time on their boards.
As I said, they will be sold to the next peoples on the list. They can thanks them.  ;D

They aren't MegaFlashes. They are DigiBlasters, LowerROMBoards and USB mouse adapters. All MegaFlashes are long gone.

Bryce.

TFM

LowerROM boards... Strike!!! Wonder that you still got them. Somehow it's the holy grail.  :) :) :)

Got mine today, works nicely indeed  ;D


Although I did have to flip my cable around as we have different opinions as to where pin 1 is  :P



TotO

Using a straight ribbon cable, no matter where are pins while you put the board with soldering side back. :)

The location of pin 1 isn't an "opinion", it is defined in the specifications. :D

@TotO: Erasing EPROMs with the sun does work, it just takes way longer than most people would be prepared to wait.

Bryce.

The Last Bandit

The IDC connector on the board  has the Pin 1 indicator pointing at Pin 50 on the silkscreen which is where the confusion comes from.


Now, to try and find some time to get to use it !! Too many projects too little time  :'(

TotO

1 week in not enough here... And after reading on Internet, it's said that the Sun don't send the good UV to achieve that.
But OK, I'm going to let it for August 1st to August 15th and see. :D

Are you in North France? :D

You can buy an EPROM eraser for the cost of the postage to Ireland and back.
