Jose Torres writes about his upcoming line of software-less gb flash carts.

So, I am working on an upgrade to the USB Gameboy Cartridges and Programmers. I want to go a completely different route and just make them drag and drop and show up as a USB drive.

I am selling the rest of the my stock of gameboy cartridges to raise funds for this project.

There will be 50 cartridges available for $50 starting July 1st.

Programmers will be $40. Non-usb carts are still $30. The programmers will be upgraded to Drag and Drop as well. Same deal on upgrades in the future. $10 for trade-in, good condition.

Current USB cart holders may purchase an additional cart and not worry about losing out on the opportunity to get the upgraded cart. When this time comes you may trade in your cartridge if in like-new condition plus a fee of $10 each.

International customers must pay $12 for insured mail.

Anyone in the US shipping is $5.

Also, many of you might not know that I recently moved to a new office. 8bitcollective has a headquarters, but I am back at school. Funds of this sale will go towards rent and server fees.

As always, you may donate and have that donation credited to your purchase in the future.

Please email Jose.Torres AT 8bc ORG for any questions that you would like to send to me in private.

I have played with the software and the regular Jose carts for a while, and this is nice and handy if you only plan to use one cart.

Details:

Price: $75 + 4% Paypal Fee
Free Shipping International
Free First-Class Mail Domestic
$2 USB Mini-B Cable

The main feature of this cartridge is a built-in USB programmer. With this extra circuitry an external “transferer” is not required. Using custom software reading and writing new ROMs and SAVs could never have been easier. With Windows and Linux compatibility and OSX software soon to be released, this is the most versitile back up solution for Game Boy musicians and developers to have ever been produced.

I’m sorry if I haven’t responded to anyones emails. I have been sick the past few days. I will try my best to respond to everyone tomorrow.

All pre-orders will ship Tuesday.
