honestly i already done pcb for pc engine few weeks ago, so i pretty sure that i will made the cart when i will be have the time

Oh man, You are the greatest. :thumbsup: Really, I have no words.

If this would come true sometime soon, then I have no other option than to believe that there is a GOD after all, and he is alive and living in the Ukrain. :pray:

:pray::pray::pray:

Great Krikzz !! Thanks !!

mega everdrive (aka ultimate md) will fit in regular shell. i have no plans to make something like mega ed for other systems

Will you make the PCB so that people with already cutout shell and label will be able to re-use regular everdrive md shell?

[KRIKzz]

no, because sd card and sms button located not in same place

So will this pc engine flash card have arcade system card support? I don't own a pc engine myself but I hear these os carts are becoming harder to find and it be interesting if they did support the different bios carts that included extra ram to run later cd games.

You heard wrong. Arcade Cards are not hard to find at all. They are just not cheap and people tend to think everything should be cheap.

If a PCE EverDrive uses RAM then maybe it wouldn't be hard to have it emulate/mimic the Arcade Card. If it uses Flash then it won't be possible.

I did manage to find a Arcade Duo Card on eBay for a reasonable price. Check Hit Japan on eBay, the store usually has Arcade cards available now and then.

If you're in the market for them, the Arcade Duo Card can only be used on Duo systems, the Arcade Pro Card can be used generally on all systems.

Sigh there goes my hopes for a Stratix based SNES cart with 64 MB SDRAM and SFX, CX4, SA1, and SDD1 support. :lol: (or 128MB without SDD1)

PS not really, only kidding. I'm more about the technological accomplishment than really needing that in a flash cart. Not only do I have most special chip games, I've still bought a dozen complete in box non special chip games since having my Super Everdrive ;-)

might wanna check out the sd2snes

aww that sucks... but still looking forward for the cart :D

[KRIKzz]

I cannot say how quickly and eagerly I will buy this when it is ready. Awesome KRIKzz!

This and an NES Everdrive is all I would ever need. Though the Jaguar needs to have one eventually, that thing's games are way too expensive.

And do you already test it in a dev/proto board? it´s based on Cyclone II?:thumbsup:

[5432]

Someone could say me if PCE cart works on Turbo Duo/Turbo Grafx/Turbo Express ... or on PCE only?
Thank you!

[MottZilla]

PCE and TG16 just swap a few pins, data lines I believe. So any EverDrive PCE could be made to work on either PCE or TG16.

Nope. Going to be a MAX II CPLD. Footprint for the TQFP chip is too small compared to the already small Hu Card.

Data bus lines D0-D7 are in reversed between PCE vs Duo, shouldn't be too difficult to have the CPLD monitor the bus with dummy data on startup and then switch and reset if need be.

[StoneAgeGamer]

Cyclone II would be overkill for this and would raise the price quite a bit.
