Derp ‘n’ drop, USB Game Boy cartridge status
Mon, 09 May 2011
Drag’n’Derp lives!
So, no update on this for a while; real life has been keeping me busy. Nonetheless, I have found some time recently to get another tranche of work done on the cart design, to the point of having a couple of working prototypes now in testing.What is it? I’m building a new Gameboy cartridge. Not GBA, not DS, original Gameboy. Why? Because a lot of people still use them, in particular for creating music with software like Johan Kotlinski’s LSDj. And to do this, you need a flashable cartridge.
Why? Currently available carts need custom drivers to talk to a computer, and for many types, a cart reader device. This limits their compatibility, and the drivers tend to be poorly maintained after release, too.
Another issue is that all current carts use battery-backed RAM to save user data to – read: music that artists have spent many hours on. These batteries can last ten years in a well-designed system – from the date of manufacture, putting a lifespan on the cartridge and leading to scary reliability issues as they age.
Features:
24MBit (3MByte) flash ROM
1MBit (128KByte) Ferroelectric RAM
Instead of battery-backed SRAM, the cart uses F-RAM, which maintains its contents in the absence of power, and has a data retention span on the order of a hundred years.
USB mass storage emulation
The cart appears similar to a thumb drive, allowing ROM and RAM contents to be copied via drag and drop. No drivers are required, and supports all USB-capable platforms. -

kr050 – Kittenrock Duck Compilation
Keeping ducks has become one of the most popular domestic hobbies in the past few years, stirring a revival of interest in the breeds, following many years of indifference. People keep them for many different reasons, increasingly they are to contribute to the family menu, their eggs are delightfully rich and their meat is delicious.
4mat, Zan-zan-zawa-veia, ovenrake, An-Cat-Max, Linde, Jellica and many more sought to join us as we celebrate the mighty duck through a duck themed chip compilation. Disappointingly, we only received two duckstep tracks…
