Yes, its a Lynx Flash Card.
USB, 115200Baud, 512K Flash, compatible to Lynx I and II, 93C46 for High Scores (up/download via USB) And its 100% made by the Lynxman. The Hardware is 98% finished. The Software around 80%. I have to add a Bootloader for Firmware update. The Card is controlled by a µCom. It is (of cause) possible to load all kind of games, 128/256/512K.

I think i finish the Firmware next 2-4 weeks. After this i send the unit to the Betatester. Shipping to Europe? No Problem, cause i am live in Europe.  (Germany)Hallo Lynxman Da auch ich in Deutschland wohne,könnte ich für dich Tester spielen.Abgesehen davon kannst du mich auf die Liste der Besteller setzen,denn ich will auch so ein Teil.

Flashcard- stores one game at a time playable till you power off?
mostly used for dev stuff. OR can i store lots of lynx games on there at once, like a multicart? that's what I'd really like!! a lynx multi cart with tons of room! maybe SD card support.... Imagine tons of lynx games on one 1GB sd card! sweet! -rick This post has been edited by Zeptari1: Wed Sep 12, 2007 4:05 PM |

You could probably store every Lynx title ever made on a 64 Meg card, UNCOMPRESSED! I agree with the sentiment though - a multi-cart would be soooo cool!

What's the biggest lynx game size about a half a meg? Maybe the multi cart could have a picture viewer and mod player built into it to use all that extra space! -rick |

Hi Lynxman,
I think it looks great! You've made a pretty cool PCB too, I wish I had the tools to do that. Did you use a thick PCB? Do you use the comlynx to upload games to it? Roland. |

Nice to see some new Lynx hardware. This won't fit in a Lynx I as the xtal is probably too high.
But I like the idea of USB. This is probably much faster to use for developers than my cart. What worries me is that the software is 80% finished. Usually you finish 80% in 20% of the time and doing the last 20% takes 80% of the time. -- Karri |

Nice to see some new Lynx hardware. This won't fit in a Lynx I as the xtal is probably too high. No. You can insert and remove, but you should be very carefulcause you don´t have to open the door complete. You only have to open around 30-45°. Please see attached pic. 2-3mm free space. I do not recommend for use in Lynx I. But it is possible. Quote What worries me is that the software is 80% finished. Usually you finish 80% in 20% of the time and doing the last 20% takes 80% of the time. -- Karri No, the 20% are "only" the Bootloader for Firmeware update. The "System-Software" workes fine. You don´t need the Bootloader for upload Games. Kind Regards Bernd Attached thumbnail(s) |
