I'll buy one for sure.

[per]

Interessing. I would buy one if the price is ok, but I can't say for sure since I don't know the price.

[PsychedelicShaman]

Just saw this thread, I'm in for one definitely. Please keep us up to date!

[pixeljunkie]

[Lynxman]

No, sorry, no news.

I have heavy workload on my job.

[thund3r]

[Lynxman]

Hello Guys,

please feel free to push me for results.

Today i am working on the Bootloader.

The last 3 days i do some improvements.

Since 1 week the workload on my job go down to 80% after some Month with 150% workload.

The next 3 weeks the workload will stay at 70-90%, this means i can go home from work at 5:00 pm. Enough time for coding now!

Please wait around 2 weeks to finish and testing the Bootloader, than the Beta-Test will start.

Regards Lynxman

Excellent news

[Emehr]

How did I miss this thread? That looks great. So does it load one game at a time or is it a multicart? Either way I'll probably end up getting one if the price is right. I've always wanted an excuse to learn programming on the Lynx and this may be it.

[Lynxman]

My Flash Cart is a tool fpr people who want to make Games for the Lynx. I t can hold 1 game (512K).
Additional it is a tool to play free games or watch demos without making a Rom-Cart.

[EricDeLee]

If it can hold 512k....

I wonder if it could actually play the EotB rom... if it were released that is. The ROM is available... but only through certain people. So essetially... could that be a way around the 'expensive board' 'rare and hard to find chips' needed in order to make an EotB cart? I understand that saving the game my be unavailable... but still. It seems (from a layman) as though it could be an option.

Right?

I would definetly buy one!

[per]

512K is more than enough for me! Nice work, I am looking forward to the result.

[chipmatica]

I'm interested in the flashcart too, good work Lynxman

The bad news are no support for several games at a time like a NDS flashcart :-P that would RULE

[vanadium]

I'd be up for purchasing one, myself.

[arkanoid]

just so you know, you'd have another interested buyer here. will be keeping an eye on this thread for updates!

[Lynxer]

Hi Lynxman

How many games can it store in one go?

I'd really be interested in a single cart that will hold loads of ROM images and homebrew stuff that I can take with me instead of having to lug all my carts around when I take my Lynx anywhere...

PS: I prefer to play the original Lynx rather than use an emulator.

Take a look at post 37 in this thread. It holds one game image at a time as it's intended more as a development tool.

Oh, yes thanks - I missed that for some reason.

Shame about Lynxman's cart not being a multigame cart, but good news for game development.

Would anyone else on this forum be interested in a true multigame cart? I'm thinking stick all your ROM images and homebrew on a memory card (FAT filesystem, for example) and be able to select and play them on the actual Lynx...

Would be pretty cool I think.

Please feel free to develop a multigame Flashcart.

Yes, that's a good idea Lynxman. If your cart doesn't do it, then that's what I'll do; watch this space!

Cheers.

[Lynxman]
