A modern cartridge is a cartridge that was not originally released.
Currently these comprise of Bootlegs and modifications of the System Cartridges.
How close are we to creating our own new cartridges with new pcbs, new roms and new acid?
The problems we need to solve are:
1. creating new PCBs 2. creating an ACID replacement 3. creating the plastic cartridge shells 4. creating the labels to go on the shells 5. creating or finding a suitable case for the physical cartridge and manual to go into.
Work so far on new PCB
- Bryce's re-implementation of the cartridge pcb.
Work so far on new ACID
- Acid replacement by Nilquader
- Reverse engineering of ACID functionality by Nocash
Work so far on new plastic cartridge shells
Work so far on new cartridge labels
Work on alternative cases
