Hello to all. ![;-)]()
Some of you probably aware the existence of 512Kbyte Flash Megacart from BigBen German member here. This was a very good cartridge surrounded by very good software also.
Today and after 3 years, the same member made a new bigger Super cartridge, who named 4 Mbyte Flash Megacart.
http://herale.org/4MB_FLASH_MEGACART
This cartridge have several uses as to backup - restore files, or write floppy disks and after boot directly from it, or load a huge amount of games on its flash memory!![:thumbsup:]()
Especially for this last, Marcin friend of BigBen write a program Suite in java, which run directly from any PC.
Through this, someone can choose games they would like with any alphabetical order, and with the title (until 33 characters) for each one that he prefers. After the Suite make the final *.ATR file who is ready to run on your real Atari and flash your MegaCart device.
Also before this and through the Suite program, you can try the games on an emulator as to check any incompatibilities.![;)]()
![:grin:]()
The total cartridge memory need about 17 minutes to flash.
The files who supported from the Suite is *.com *.exe *.xex and *.rom extensions. As for the *.rom, 8Kb & 16Kb supported, but the 8Kb file use all the 16Kb memory bank.
Because of my minimal participation on this project, BigBen allowed me to make some (18) pieces from it, as to make it available here on AtariAge. After the last one, they will be again available from him..... I suppose.![:_(]()
Cost for each one is 46 euro, including shipping and handling cost to anywhere in the world, a track number, and the Paypal fees. (If you subtract the rest, then the cost only for cartridge is 37 euro.)
Please send me a pm if you are interested. Priority will be held until the last cartridge.
Thank you all.![:cool:]()
