Anyone know how to flash a Bung gbc cart with a modern cart flasher?

[mrgone]

i found my old bung cart and the flasher with a parallel interface, which i cannot satisfy obviously with modern hardware. (flasher may be broken)

i have a gbxcart flasher but that doesn't work.

any ideas ?

You should reach out to either Alex who made the GBxCart, or Lesserkuma who makes the software for it. (FlashGBX)
Either of them should be able to add support for the cart in the next FlashGBX version. (And Lesserkuma has a Ko-Fi tip jar, just sayin... )

maybe not neccessary
https://github.com/lesserkuma/FlashGBX says
Bung 64M is supported

Oh that's great! Were you using the official GBxCart software before this?

i tried some years ago, but it just didn't write
on the other hand, the contents of the cart are still great, some trained games, original tetris, some demos and a musicdisk

but if it works i probably continue to use dgbmax and export a compiled rom from there for flashing

A GBxCart RW v1.4 and FlashGBX can read and write just about any carts now, new and old. So good luck with your endeavors.

This "modern hardware" is USB -> parallel port adapter? Or something more serious?

Sometimes drivers are still needed for those, or the driver for the parallel device won't be seen over a USB interface at all. And the older readers/writers require either 98SE or XP to be used, so you'd need old hardware or virtual machine.

I mean that often such adapters (USB -> parallel port) - are cheap junk which is good only for connecting some printers.
Better results can be achieved with PCI/PCMCIA/PCIe/ExpressCard cards with a parallel port. Not always though.
(And PCI/PCMCIA is also not modern equipment nowadays.)

hmm, i think my writer is not compatible
because there is no advance support in mine

I invested into a GBxCart.
The combination with FlashGBX is awesome.
I already reflashed 3 repro carts from Aliexpress i had lying around

I'm glad you enjoy it. If you ever have any newer bootlegs that aren't working right with it, just message Lesserkuma on Discord, and he can add support in a new release.
