SNES & N64 Flash Linkers

[wolfeman]

I have a huge problem with the design of these new flash carts. The Neo team has shown they have some good products [and yes, some god awful ones too] even though it takes them forever to get them out on the market. The PCEngine flash cart is a pretty nice design although they have now revised it to be able to handle saves but they have jacked the price way up and anyone who bought the two earlier versions are kicking themselves now.

These NEW carts are screwed from the get-go because they are making you buy a GBA Flash Cart of their design in order to be able to use these carts so on top of the cost of the cart, you have another $100 or so that you have to pay to get a GBA Flash cart.

People have been pleading with them not to do this and they simply do not listen and I think a large part of why it has taken them so long to get these working so they can sell them is their need to make the gba flash cart part of it.

This is going to be a bitter pill to swallow when the carts hit the market and I for one will have to think long and hard what I will and will not shell out my hard earned money for.

Please, don't make such posts, because it looks like plain trolling..

I respect your opinion, but at least elaborate why do you think so, if you want to be a part of discussion!

If you ask me, nothing can compare to playing the game on the machine it is supposed to be played originally....Even if emulation is perfect, I still prefer doing it "old school"

I like playing GB Color games on GameBoy Color, Advance on GBA etc. (even tho it's nice to have an option, emulating/running all those games on NDS)

 

[Mailyfesux]

Is this the first n64 cart?

Well I got all excited when I saw this story but it looks a long way down the track from what I really want.

I have a N64 in its original shop demo stand in my rumpus room and although it looks impressive it hardly gets much use. I'd love a nice clean simple N64 cartridge with a micro SD slot on it where I can shove it in my N64 boot it up to a menu and then select any game from the roms stored on the microSD card... oh well... I'll keep on dreaming but at least I'm happy to know some people are still tinkering with the old consoles and it might happen one day.

what you want is a 256M Z64 with the Compact Flash upgraded bios. Mine is set up with two 2GB compact flash cards with all the games I'd ever want to play on the system and then some. It takes some configuring to get all the games to play correctly, you have to have the patch dat and some other files and a few different boot carts, all of which can be found via google, but ultimately it is the best around so far and from what I see of the neo flash, will continue to be the best around since the neo forces you to use the stupid gba flash cart as the memory card.

Very nice if it is truly 99% compatible. Don't think it will justify buying just to get the 4 or so 64MB games to run on it that my CD64 can't handle... Depending on the price that is...

 

[naveedy]

Emulators, anyone?

Its just not the same. PLaying the games on the actually console is so much better. It just feels right!

Not very, if it works like a DS flash cart, like m3, r4, or any other other ones, this is going to be very fun!!!! i am so glad

I cant find anything about this...where do i find one.

 

[randysteele992]

Oh god I WANT ONE!!! I want an N64 one so bad! I wouldn't mind if there were an n64 emulator for the wii but thats never ever EVER going to happen! So i need one!!

 

[mrgone]

z64 is one of the old n64 copiers, it had a zip drive ( connected via IDE)

someone did a bios hack to enable compact flash memory on the ide port (my guess is it was a size limitation)

ps: i really hope this flash cart thingy for n64 is going somewhere. the real deal is always preferrable to emulation

Nowhere really since they stopped being sold about 9 year ago. They are expensive 2nd hand so you might as well wait until the NEO pricing and use emulators until then.

Sorry folks, but I have to rain on the parade and say this is NEOFLASH. Has anyone experienced the absolutely atrocity of their NDS carts? What on earth makes you think they're going to be able to produce SNES/N64 carts that are a) any better than the solutions already out there and b) going to work at all? They have the worst track record ever, and I for one wouldn't touch anything with their name on it with a ten foot pole.

This.

I had one of their PC Engine flashcarts and it was unreliable. Think I paid over £120 for just a 64M version, so these N64 & SNES ones should be either the same or a lot more.

You could probably better more reliable and cheaper products here:

[testic-cancer]

Neo are a joke.

For anyone who wants a snes cart then just get a tototek one, they work well. Although I personally prefer a copybox (wildcard DX or Doctor SF* are the easiest to still get hold of).

V64jr gives best compatibility on the N64, but they can be hard to get hold of now.

 

[morcar]

They look well cool but why dont they just use SD Cards with the cart. This would have been a lot better as you could store loads of games on the card and play them by selecting the game from a menu. As for the pricing i would say around £30 / £40 any more and it would be a ripp off as i have a hacked xbox that can play snes perfect and almost does the n64 perfect too.

 

[pika3000]

Isn't neoflash the company that made the Golden Sun Team which dumped roms that only worked on their carts in an attempt to steal sales ?

 

[Apophys]

Hi,

cool

und wo kann man the NEO N64 Myth cart first SPEC kaufen???
