hi VROdin, how do you get this ? and i find bus_1 worked for a burnCart .
u8 bus_1[] = { 15, 7, 14, 6, 13, 5, 12, 4, 0, 8, 1, 9, 2, 10, 3, 11};
u8 bus_2[] = { 0, 8, 1, 9, 6, 14, 7, 15, 2, 10, 3, 11, 4, 12, 5, 13};

and this: actually,only seq_0 seq_1 seq_3 is right for GBA_BUS[address], GBABF use others ,because it need address offset by *(vu16*)(addr|0x8000000)

u32 seq_0[] = { 0x555, 0x2AA, 0x555, 0x555, 0x2AA, 0x555};
u32 seq_1[] = { 0xAAA, 0x555, 0xAAA, 0xAAA, 0x555, 0xAAA};
u32 seq_2[] = { 0xAAA, 0x554, 0xAAA, 0xAAA, 0x554, 0xAAA};
u32 seq_3[] = { 0x5555, 0x2AAA, 0x5555, 0x5555, 0x2AAA, 0x5555};
u32 seq_4[] = { 0xAAAA, 0x5554, 0xAAAA, 0xAAAA, 0x5554, 0xAAAA};
u32 seq_5[] = { 0x1554, 0xAAA, 0x1554, 0x1554, 0xAAA, 0x1554};
Using GBA_BUS[addr] = data same as using (vu16*)(addr|0*8000000) = data. Its syntax sugar. I know only 1 msp55lv512 that work with bus_1. What u think about old intel cart support? I havent idea, cuz burn2slot v0.2 works. And can u fix some trouble for b2s, that u fix on your modification of gbabf with pullrequest?

I have already verified it, using (vu16*)(addr|0*8000000) = data , need address offset >>1. and i found the intel main focus is on erasing small sectors.

I've got a cart that isn't working correctly when flashed. When I try writing to it, the ROM gets corrupted. I believe it's Mitsubishi brand flash.
Also, does anyone know how to remove that black dot from the PCB in some of these things in case I want to add a battery? I already tried a soldering iron and a sharp object and can't seem to get anywhere.

edit: removed pic of a cart with a different kind of flash to focus on just one for now

Hey guys, i got today one of those 369 in 1 carts, wondering if i can solder a battery to it, and reflash the games? how?
gbabf sucessfully changes and boots the banks but can't dump the cart/banks. gba backup tool dumps only the first 32mb. i wish to make a full backup before i try to write with burn2slot :)

The chips are not equal to any cart i have found, here is a pic, any help is appreciated. Thanks

hi vrodin, i found the GB&GBC cart insert NDS ,it will mapping the rom to 0xa00000- 0xa007fff, so i think it is possible to burn GB&GBC cart on NDS .
maybe the NORFLASH need by 3.3v specifications。

I think that would be difficult - you can switch to GBC mode within GBA mode homebrew, but you are limited to the 32KB of GBA IWRAM/GBC WRAM. GBA carts are inaccessible, so you'd have to find the data to flash from elsewhere, like through the link cable.

Here's a code example for switching from GBA mode to GBC mode and running a custom payload.

guys, all the cartridges that are somehow supported work thanks to your luck, unfortunately, I can’t create a database with supported boards, since there are a lot of cartridges in which the Chinese used the same programming types. I hope all of you understand this.

Might have to use a GBxCart RW, or a Joey.

Yeah, maybe it can't detect because it has 256mbit flashsize i think
256Mbit is just 32MBytes right? That's the regular threshold for GBA carts, bootleg or not. Should read/write to/from it fine. But looking at the picture closer, on the left side it looks like maybe some lifted pads and a possible diode lifted. It's kinda hard to tell, but that entire board is a mess. Flux residue is EVERYWHERE on that thing, along with splatters of unknown substance on the chips, and some random red bodge wire? This thing might or might not be salvageable, or even worth salvaging to be honest.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
