NES devcart?

I've read about a few devcarts being built in this forum (By Kevtris/Memblers etc.) but I haven't read any recent news concerning these devices for a very long time. What's the status on these projects today? Anyone knows?

not sure about kevtris thougt.. are you refering to his ram-carts?
but with memblers I think it's still under some design phase(?)
and then we have the FunkyFlashCart that we're waiting for some status on too

that's what I "know"... but I think it's better that the creators them self answear this question instead of my speculations

My UNROM cart is ready to go, Squeedo is pretty much ready to go also tho I still gotta make sure my serial cables will work OK when I build a bunch of them and I need to review a couple important parts of the firmware.

Yeah I know I've said it's almost ready before, but the past few days I've had actual chips and stuff arriving, the expensive ones that I saved for buying last.

But, I've got some other stuff to do next week. I started throwing together a webpage with prices and all that stuff, it still needs to be finished. I'll be able to start shipping some stuff in April.

What is needed is a RAM based FunkyFlashCart that can be programmed from CopyNES. That would effectively be a true NES copier. It could dump games, as well as play backup images without the original cart. Of course, the copier would have to be tethered to a PC or laptop for loading games, but the Nano-ITX looks like it could do the job, as it even has a TV-out. You could hook both NES and Nano-ITX to your TV at the same time, and control the entire setup with a universal remote. Though some custom game and save management software would have to be written, to make controller via a remote easier. Then just select the game and save you want to load, then switch the TV-input line from the Nano-ITX to the NES using the remote.

I'd like some kind of devcart, allowing you to run, for example mapper0-4 stuff, that would be more than enough for me anyway. And if it came with a usb/similar connection, and didn't require any assembly at all, I'd buy it asap.

I can't wait to see more information. Please post it as soon as you get it together!
