I'm following your blog for quite ...Hello Seb,<br /><br />I'm following your blog for quite a few month now and there are still many question i'd like to ask.<br /><br />I have read the main part of the SMSpower website as well as Charles MacDonald's doc and hardwares notes.<br />But i feel that (even if it's of great help) all these stuff are mainly for Emulation and not directly for a real-time control of the SMS .<br /><br />My idea is to control the console with an Arduino, just like you did with your awesome project ;)<br />The point is that I don't want to buy and control an independent SN76489 (like you did in your beginnings project) but accessing directly the integrated one in the VDP. <br />The problem is that i'm not sure if you can do that directly with the Arduino and sending data via the Cartridge pinout port or if you don't have any other choice than reprogramming an EEPROM and writing assembly code to access the integrated PSG?<br /><br />I hope you'll find a moment to read this long message.<br /><br />Take Care ;)<br /><br />Alex<br /><br /><br />PS: My mail address<br />alex.panizzoli@gmail.comSphaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149134195643569316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23217409.post-745561090878887312011-09-25T13:55:54.630+09:302011-09-25T13:55:54.630+09:30love the tutorial, I want to do one of these aswel...love the tutorial, I want to do one of these aswell as one for the nintindo and my ti994a. any tips or suggestions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23217409.post-72328166960049329192011-05-28T03:23:24.115+09:302011-05-28T03:23:24.115+09:30affan:

The one I use is the True-USB PRO GQ-4X (http://www.alibaba.com/product-free/113720025/True_USB_PRO_GQ_4X_Programmer.html). The cost won't justify using it for only this project though for most people so you would want the Neo SMS Myth or Master Everdrive (better of the two because you can use SD cards and it is cheaper).crackerhttp://crackerscrap.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23217409.post-62978447981757350072011-01-26T05:01:55.174+10:302011-01-26T05:01:55.174+10:30how in the world do you put a rom on the eprom? is...how in the world do you put a rom on the eprom? is there any particular program that I need to use? what sizes do sms roms range from? are they all equal to or less than 32KB? do eproms have differant storage capacities(more than 32KB)? you mentioned the tototek sms flash cart above. they also have a genesis flash cart, which functions similarly to the sms flash cart, so can this project work on a genesis cartridge as well?affannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23217409.post-53170684847608793962010-08-06T09:53:57.563+09:302010-08-06T09:53:57.563+09:30I opened some games and the top left capacitor is ...I opened some games and the top left capacitor is not a round one but a small cylinder.<br />Is this board ok too?<br />ThxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23217409.post-29993176551116420912010-01-29T16:39:02.051+10:302010-01-29T16:39:02.051+10:30that was really nice to read that.. that was reall...that was really nice to read that.. that was really great post.. it seem great information..that's great job... for more information on <b>Nintendo, Nintendo NES,used Nintendo 64, Used Nintendo</b> u can visit <b>http://www.nintendosforsale.com/</b>petersteelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03957659701291810989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23217409.post-69459440028928642512008-06-28T10:36:00.000+09:302008-06-28T10:36:00.000+09:30You never cease to blow my fucking mind, Seb.You never cease to blow my fucking mind, Seb.10khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09243541323778123988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23217409.post-40814150133487026152008-06-27T07:28:00.000+09:302008-06-27T07:28:00.000+09:30Hi Chris, I think I understand what you mean, and ...Hi Chris, <BR/>I think I understand what you mean, and the answer is perhaps a no. But an easier option for a similar sort of thing might be something like Tototek's SMS flash cart, which is easy to deal with but 10 times the price. I guess the cool thing about doing things this way is that each cartridge is very cheap and not very time consuming, but of course one is limited to a ROM size of 32KB...Sebastian Tomczakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12712567577323498804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23217409.post-9358431772070728482008-06-26T23:55:00.000+09:302008-06-26T23:55:00.000+09:30Great project!Now is there a way to, instead of re...Great project!<BR/>Now is there a way to, instead of reprogramming the chip every time you want to try a different game, to somehow directly connect it to a computer.<BR/>Then have the computer emulate the chip.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23217409.post-6271022755987799522008-06-26T22:44:00.000+09:302008-06-26T22:44:00.000+09:30Oh, hey Maxim.

So for me, I think it will either be with a socket and with a case, or with a case and without the hole or socket... ie a non-reprogrammable cartridge. <BR/>Zif socket would be cool to add as well!Sebastian Tomczakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12712567577323498804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23217409.post-30004670956335153282008-06-26T22:30:00.000+09:302008-06-26T22:30:00.000+09:30If you cut a hole in the front of the cartridge, t...If you cut a hole in the front of the cartridge, there should be room for the EPROM in the socket, and it'll be more accessible too.
