Re: Seeking RAM for upgrade (US)

That 128k detection in ROMv5a is a known bug that has been addressed in DEVROM. I believe it was also fixed in SDROM (which is based on ROMv5a).

Re: Gigatron ASIC and the Gametron Handheld

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oD6P2cYZCfo #JLCPCB Thanks again to JLCPCB for their quick turnaround time. All my PCB designs you see in the Gametron playlist were ordered through them. As always, the boards are manufactured to a high quality, and I am always able to quickly build up my prototype t...

Re: SDCard browser for Pluggy Reloaded:

Not sure if I understand your question. It's probably a question for at67 or lb3361 but I'll take a stab. Are you trying to build SDCard Browser in gtBASIC against ROMvX0?

Re: Blue Gigatron with colorful LEDs

Sorry if I wasn't clear with my question. For all intents and purposes, an NES controller IS a Famicon controller disconnected from the console and modified aesthetically for the US market. What I was asking was whether you had installed a different connector on your Pluggy Reloaded from the standar...

Re: Blue Gigatron with colorful LEDs

Did you adapt the DB9 to NES for the controller? Looks different.

Re: SDCard browser for Pluggy Reloaded:

The NOROM version of SDCard Babelfish loads the SDCard Browser from the Pluggy Reloaded into the Gigatron since the browser is not built into other ROMs outside of the SDROM. You need to put both files into the same directory as the .ino file so that it is compiled into the Babelfish image. You don'...

Re: Gigatron ASIC and the Gametron Handheld

I got a good laugh out of this. Efabless (who runs the OpenMPW shuttles Google is paying for) just launched a kickstarter based on silicon from the very same 130nm ASIC process, and they basically made a (very small) open source embedded FPGA. It's too small to fit a Gigatron and would need 2 orders...

Thanks! I will certainly check it out.
