What the title says.

I got flashcarts for my mega drive, master system and gb colo(u)r.

What's the state for other consoles, particularly poor selling ones? I'm trying to dig out my game gear and see if there is any flashcarts for that.
>>
gg flash carts are very cheap like $40 last i checked
>>
>>12059031
>$40
>cheap
>>
>>12059031
Like from ebay or alibaba?
>>
>>12059048
correct
>>
You know what's going to be hard? Getting the unique peripherals.
>>
>>12059435
I don't need unique peripherals. I'm still working on fitting in peripherals.
>>
>>12060047
I'm talking about games that had special analogue controls, when the standard control was digital.
>>
>>12060084
Do "unique peripheral" and "analogue control" mean the same thing in your native language?
>>
>>12060265
Potato, potahto, you know what I meant.

I mean, are there (cheap) modern replacement controllers for the saturn 3D controller? Or something more unique like a master system paddle controller?
>>
>>12058991
Anything that was remotely well known has decent flashcarts
You're not going to get chinese knock offs of most of them though
>>
>>12060416
>you know what I meant
Honesty, I didn't. I do now, but I don't automatically assume that everyone here is a poor child. Perhaps I should? Neither of those are hard to get. A day of flipping burgers and they're yours. As for modern replacements, yes, they exist. Obviously not cheap by your standards as they don't come at the bottom of a box of cereal, but that's a (You) problem.
>>
>Impossible to play every GBA game with a any single flashcart
>Need at LEAST two
>One of which is no longer being sold unless you want to roll the dice on a shitty Chinese bootleg
>And the other does not come with a fucking case
>The GBA Everdrive doesn't even support ANY of the features the other two do

Even the situation with NES and SNES flashcarts isn't this fucked up. What the fuck is it with Nintendo systems? Every other system has at least one if not multiple flashcarts that have 100% compatibility with the entire library, even the N64 has that with two different tries of flashcarts.
>>
>>12061067
>>Need at LEAST two
No you don't
The light sensor is shit and if you want the gimmick, buy the actual cart
>>
>>12061067
Is there a flashcart with a gryo sensor? How would you play warioware twisted?
>>
>>12061079
You buy the gimmick carts and then buy the rumble flashcart
>>
>>12061071
>The light sensor is shit and if you want the gimmick, buy the actual cart
The games are highly rated
There are three of them, not just one
The third one isn't even in English but has a fan translation
They generally go for three figures EACH
The cart with the light sensor also contains an RTC

Also the only GBA flashcart with a tilt sensor does not have an RTC, so even if you wanted to omit the Boktai games you would still need two.
>>
>>12061079
The second cart in >>12061067 has both a tilt sensor and rumble.

Ignore the troll going "Just buy all these expensive retro games bro" to try to feel better about his shoddy chinkware cart.
>>
>>12061086
I said the light sensor is shit, not the games
There are better methods
>>
>>12061089
The only other methods are to either pay out the ass for the original games (and you still would not be able to play 3 in English that way) or use a Romhack or emulator that basically just lets you cheat and ignore needing a light sensor at all.

Also, there is still no single cart that has a RTC and Tilt sensor, much less RTC, Tilt, and Rumble.
>>
>>12061093
>cheat and ignore needing a light sensor at all.
Correct, just look outside and fix it accordingy
If you aren't able to make it the same as outside then thats on you
Tilt sensor doesn't matter, just buy a real copy of twisted
>>
>>12061102
>Correct, just look outside and fix it accordingy
So in other words, you are trying to cope with having a shitty flashcart by just plain cheating at the games and claiming it's a "better method"

>Tilt sensor doesn't matter, just buy a real copy of twisted
Warioware Twisted alone generally goes for more than the tilt flashcart goes for, and there were multiple GBA games that had a tilt sensor.

I wonder what further cope you will reply with now.
>>
>>12061109
How is it cope?
You only want to play games with RNG weather and play outside directly in the sunlight?
Fucking stupid
>Warioware Twisted alone generally goes for more than the tilt flashcart
Sure, if you want it complete in box

You tried to argue to just buy Boktai
You appeared to have no idea there was more than one (Don't even try to change your story now that you knew when you were clearly implying a single game earlier), that not all came out in English, and that each tends to go for three figures
When this was pointed out you backpedaled and claimed to just hack the game to disable the light sensor, pretending you never told people to buy the games instead
You then tried to claim to just buy Warioware Twisted
Yet again it had to be pointed out to you that the English versions of the game generally go for more than the flash cart that supports tilt and rumble does, and that there is more than one GBA game that had tilt
And no, this isn't "complete in box" pricing

>Fucking stupid
I agree, you're fucking stupid. In fact, I would say you're fucking retarded. You come in here clearly not knowing jack shit about any of this and trying to tell everyone "No, no, my flashcart doesn't suck, just buy the games!" then when it's pointed out how much these cost you change your argument to "Just hack those features away" pretending like nobody will notice you changed your stance, and then try to cope even harder by going "Who wants these features anyway?"

The only time I have seen such levels of cope and retardation here is in the "What could have saved the Saturn?" threads. Your flashcart is shoddy shit and trying to argue to "just buy the games" or "just hack these features away" is what is fucking stupid.
>>
>>12061120
>You tried to argue to just buy Boktai
I did not, I said if you liked the shitty gimmick buy it, I told you why it's shit and there are better methods (cheating)
>You then tried to claim to just buy Warioware Twisted
Yes
>>
>>12058991
neo geo flash carts are still a few hundred bucks and seem a bit harder to find now
>>
12061127
Done feeding your retardation

Fact of the matter is that there is no single GBA flashcart that lets you play every GBA game, even when trying to get two that let you do it you run into problems like one no longer being made or the other not having a casing, and most of the games with these features cost more than either of the flash carts themselves if you tried to just buy the game.

No amount of autistic "But why not just cheat and hack it away" screeching or poorfag coping changes these facts.
>>
>>12059048
compared to buying original games after 2010 that's pennies
>>
>>12061132
this faggot is right.

what depresses me the most about "flashcarts" is that they don't really cater to developers in a way that'll let you do proper debugging on the hardware. compiling a rom, copying it over, run and hope it works is tedious as fuck. do i need to redneck engineer my own cart adapter and mini in-circut emulator using some SoC for these things?
>>
>>12061132
>So mad he removed the reply arrows
Answer me, can you or can you not play those games on a EZFlash Omega

Ah yes, the shitty flashcart that advertises "It PROBABLY won't corrupt your save" as a feature, and that's with the more expensive "Definitive Edition" no less.
>>
>>12061170
FeRAM to save games is pretty fancy and expensive, much more than what the original carts ever did.

It's RAM that retains all memory with no power at all.
But it does have limits, and the data might start to corrupt after ten years of no power (a lot of other storage media like Flash also has that problem).
>>
>>12061187
I know what FRAM is, it's not new or novel, plenty of people have modded things like their Sega Saturns or N64 Memory Paks with a FRAM chip to avoid needing a battery anymore. It's not as robust as SRAM however.

Regardless, a shoddy site in barely legible English advertising "It probably won't corrupt your saves" as a feature while costing more than the carts mentioned before, you would have to be an idiot to get this.
>>
>>12061201
SRAM requires constant power.
The shelf life of a typical coin cell is also ten years.
And unlike FeRAM it can't refresh when powered and needs to be replaced at some point.
>>
>>12061205
You are explaining shit everyone here knows while at the same time demonstrating a lack of knowledge of the subject. Also the save batteries in those carts tended to last closer to 20 years. You also do know that FRAM dies far faster than SRAM right? You seem to think it's more reliable, it's actually the opposite.
>>
>>12061217
Yes I know, you're just ignoring the battery requirement which is the big drawback.
Good job doing exactly what you claimed I was doing.

And yeah coin cells will often do longer than ten years but their official shelf life rating is usually 10 years.
Just like FeRAM data will often hold a lot longer than years, they just don't guarantee it.
>>
>>12061229
You realize you would need a battery for the RTC in the EZ Omega Deluxe anyway right? The features description flat out talks about replacing the battery.

Also it's not a drawback at all considering that unlike actual SRAM saving in old game carts where that battery would be needed for years, a flashcart would dump the contents of it's SRAM to the MicroSD when you are done anyway, so using FRAM really isn't giving much advantage over SRAM here.

Every single game I have with a SRAM chip still works, most of them with their original battery, some I had to replace but you can easily keep your save while doing so if you give it alternate power or have a cartridge dumper to backup the save, if you even care about keeping the save in the first place when replacing the battery. Meanwhile nothing short of replacing the FRAM chip itself will ever allow my Sonic 3 cart to ever save again.

I can't believe you're still harping on this, how the everliving fuck is seeing "little to no corruption" boasted as a feature not set off red flags for you instead of make you go into critical cope mode? The sad part is I was right on the money, you have a shitty flahcart and are desperately crying sour grapes at any flaws it has.
>>
>>12061242
RTC battery failing means, having to set the clock manually.
Save battery failing means losing all your games.

>dump the contents of it's SRAM to the MicroSD
As I already said Flash memory has the same problem.
Data lying on an unpowered MicroSD will corrupt over time.

>comparing one of very first commercialized FeRAM chips with modern ones
No one is impressed by your wiki reading.
>>
>>12061265
You're definitely trolling at this point, the save would get wiped off the FRAM anyway any time you switch games. Nobody is leaving that shit on there for years unless you stopped using the flashcart entirely and tossed in a drawer to be forgotten. Flushing the save to SD completely nullifies the "problem" of the battery dying... in 20 years.

Even less people are impressed by how laughably retarded your entire argument has been.

Cope some more, you have literally done nothing but be wrong this entire thread. You need at least two flashcarts to play every GBA game, no cheating with hacks to disable sensors does not count, and your shitty chinkware cart isn't even among those two types that would allow you to play every GBA game.

Have fun when your FRAM fries, my SD cards are all fine, I am also not retarded and backup any data I would not want to lose. Don't expect any further responses unless you manage to somehow display actual intelligence in a future post.
>>
>>12061275
>You're definitely trolling at this point, the save would get wiped off the FRAM anyway any time you switch games. Nobody is leaving that shit on there for years
You are the one obsessing about FeRAM save data corruption, not me for Christ's sake.
>>
>>12061130
Have they stopped making them?
>>
>>12061087
nta but they have been out of stock for a while now, what should i do ?
>>
>>12061546
I think Darksoft is making another batch of the MVS multi (but no AES and timeline TBD) and the Terraonion Pro AES is the only version I can find in stock anywhere.
>>
Someone make a list from 8-bit consoles to 6th gen consoles/handhelds on what/if flashcarts or modchips are available.
>>
>>12061067
>even the N64 has that with two different tries of flashcarts

Was there a special cart for it like StarFox for snes? I don't remember any.
>>
>>12058991
Most flashcart and odes will have knock off versions on Aliexpress, even obscure stuff like MSX and 3DO. That being said, be careful as stuff like the Turbo Everdrive clones don't support the CD attachment through FPGA like the official product. I'd research each one you find on Aliexpress VS what it is they are ripping off just to make sure you're not losing features you actually care about.
>>
>>12062425
What are you talking about?
>>
>>12062425
sd2snes has everything thanks to an FPGA
>>
Dreamcast, boot disc IIRC.
PS2 had one as well.
>>
>>12064418
SD2SNES lacks SPC7110, ST-011, ST-018, and Sufami Turbo support

https://sd2snes.de/blog/compatibility

Nobody is going to care about those two ST chips but the rest block off some games

The dev has been promising SPC7110 will be coming soon for like a decade...
