i pushed some code based on Skaman's code to Sanni's code to enable reading Tengai Makyou Zero (SPC7110).
It also has some reorganizing of the code, that in that my opinion cleans it up a bit.
I ended up making one of the Mega Drive/Genesis cartridge adapters. I won't post a pic here because my soldering is atrocious.
I did about a dozen or so games and they all dumped fine with the exception of two. But I think the bad dumps for those two are due to the filth factor of their connectors. When I get some time later I will clean them and re-dump them.
I was pretty excited to be able to dump my Genesis games! Thanks again Sanni for the hard work!
Finally built mine italiano work gratis!
Now I have ordered mega drive adapter pcb from elecrow.
Can I ask to you if I have to solder n64 cable on pcb or I have to connect it on Arduino?
Another question:
ON pcb is a placement for 47 uF capacitor (near tantalum capacitor), it's optional or I have to add to the pcb?
The capacitor can be 47uF, 100uf, 200uF or anything else you got since it is only there to filter the 5V input voltage coming from the USB plug. And the voltage rating needs to be at least 6V so I would go with 10V or 25V.
Hi sanni and everybody.
I'm studying about eprom and eeprom. I saw your project and wanted to know if it's possible to write in eeprom using arduino mega. I saw your project how you can write how to read. As I'm starting in the programming part, I wanted something that related only to writing in eeprom (29L3211).
Yes that will work. Just wire up a PSOP44 socket like this to an Arduino Mega according to the pinout.xls found on my github. Connect the pins from the Arduino column to the 16bit flash column.
You'll also need an SD module to provide the file you want to flash.
Since the 29L3211 is a 3.3V part you need to convert your Arduino to 3.3V either by following one of the tutorials for converting the serial port to 3.3V found online or by using a 3.3V voltage regulator like an AMS1117 and connecting its output to the 5V line of the Arduino Mega. In the latter case you can't connect the USB cable anymore or you'll short the Arduino out and therefore you also need to install the OLED display and the buttons to control the program independent from a PC.
It would stay the same as before, meaning a N64 controller extension cut in half and then soldered to the cart reader pcb. Just haven't modeled that in Sketchup
Is there anyone here accepting commissions to make these? I have no prior experience with soldering, and don't want to accidentally mess something up. I'm looking to get a unit like this since my Retrode 2 can't dump Nintendo Power or Xband cartridges.
