[Sale]I can do repro of almost ANY mapper u want
I see lot of people put effort into canibalizing more or less valuable games in order to make repro.
So when creating my flash-cart Krzysiocart I projected the PCB in that way that it wil be able to mimic almost any mapper - not only popular ones like MMC1/MMC3, VRC, FME7, UNROM/ANROM/CNROM, Mapper 90, but even rare ones that are use for one-titles, multicarts, etc.
Currently not supported ones are MMC2 and MMC5 (but if you don't want to use extended MMC5 features like EX-RAM or Fill mode nametable, it will work).
Firstly, I was developing in on my own home-made etched PCBs, but later I switched into proffesional ones. There is also shell included.
Price will depend on quantity, but it's roughly 30-35$/piece + 5$ shipping worldwide.
If you want it, contact me on PM.
The PCB has 8 MB PRG-ROM(MB, not Mb) flash, 512 kB CHR-RAM, 32 kB PRG-ROM, battery-backup, so it's almost everything you want.

Re: [Sale]I can do repro of almost ANY mapper u want
What about CHR-ROM? Is the 8MB chip used for both CHR and PRG? Also, how does one write data to the PCB?
Glad to finally see someone in Europe getting into this.
edit: Didn't see the SD card reader on the picture. Thought it had a flash chip included.

Re: [Sale]I can do repro of almost ANY mapper u want
A program intended to use CHR ROM would start by copying CHR data from PRG ROM to CHR RAM.
64 Mbit PRG ROM is like early Neo Geo, N64, and GBA era.
What does "contact me on PW" mean? Is it a typo for PM (private message)?

Yeah, that's easy enough. It gets more complex when you start getting into back switching CHR datatepples wrote:A program intended to use CHR ROM would start by copying CHR data from PRG ROM to CHR RAM.
I just thought it's a weird omission when the PCB supposedly covers "almost everything you want".
Re: [Sale]I can do repro of almost ANY mapper u want
This board has 4 Mbit CHR RAM. This is bigger than the biggest CHR ROM in a licensed NES game or licensed non-MMC5 Famicom game (Kirby's Adventure), and it's as big as the biggest CHR ROM in a licensed Famicom game (Metal Slader Glory) or unlicensed NES game (Action 52). What cart other than a pirate multi has CHR ROM bigger than 4 Mbit?

Re: [Sale]I can do repro of almost ANY mapper u want
If your game uses CHR-ROM, you program PRG-FLASH with PRG-ROM + CHR-ROM and then during startup copy CHR-ROM data from flash into RAM. But all of this is done automatically. You just put your ROM into micro sd card and then select it from menu (if you remove SD card, last chosen game will be started automatically).
You just need to know me to which mapper should I reprogram the FPGA.
Sorry, my mistake, should be PM = Private Message.

JY 120-in-1, but I already patched it to use 512 kB.What cart other than a pirate multi has CHR ROM bigger than 4 Mbit?
Re: [Sale]I can do repro of almost ANY mapper u want
So this is like an EverDrive or a PowerPak, but hardwired to a single mapper configuration?
Re: [Sale]I can do repro of almost ANY mapper u want
Does it run some code before executing the user ROM if booted without an SD card? (This matters for some test ROMs which assume that no extra instructions were executed before starting the ROM.)
Are you going to make the CPLD configuration files available so users can reprogram the CPLD to any mapper?

My first impression: So it's like a EverDrive or a PowerPak, but ~80 to 100 usd cheaper?tokumaru wrote:So this is like an EverDrive or a PowerPak, but hardwired to a single mapper configuration?

Re: [Sale]I can do repro of almost ANY mapper u want
Mr 6502 is not fortune-teller and it needs to send some commands to SD card to check if it responds or not.Does it run some code before executing the user ROM if booted without an SD card? (This matters for some test ROMs which assume that no extra instructions were executed before starting the ROM.)
But just after run, cartridge starts in NROM mode so you can program it (using Kazzo) to execute your own NROM code.
I can make public pin assignments, schematics so everyone interested can program its own mapper, but I'd rather not publish my binaries for CPLD.Are you going to make the CPLD configuration files available so users can reprogram the CPLD to any mapper?
Re: [Sale]I can do repro of almost ANY mapper u want
Watch your attitude. It would have been possible to connect, e.g., a mechanical switch from the SD card socket to the CPLD to allow it to detect a missing SD card without any code.krzysiobal wrote:Mr 6502 is not fortune-teller and it needs to send some commands to SD card to check if it responds or not.Does it run some code before executing the user ROM if booted without an SD card?

Re: [Sale]I can do repro of almost ANY mapper u want
I still don't understand what exactly this product is and who the target audience for it is. Is it like a PowerPak/EverDrive but with a hardwired mapper? Can the mapper configuration be easily changed?
