  1. chips challenge is excellent if you like puzzle games.
  2. yeah, in europe the decimal mark is the coma (at least in france and germany).
  3. what chips are you using ? standard 2Mbit 32-plcc 55ns flashes cost about 3 $ (canadian), 4Mbit 32-dip 100ns OTProm cost about 5$ (9$ at 70ns). What's with the 0xaaa, 0x555 algorithm karri ? (does not suit the lynx's addressing mode ?)
  4. I'll look for the standard downloader then, my cartridge uses ordinary 29fxx or the like.
  5. Id did get Xenophobe with my lynx in the 90's. I find it rather repetitive but II enjoyed it a lot. Multiplaying could maybe add some thrill. The last level is nice.
  6. I've got a special serial card with 1562500bps top speed which allow 62500bps, I should test it with my own flash cards, would you share your bootstrap sources karri ?
  7. Yep, I think it's Karri who made the "Developers Flash Cart for Atari Lynx" with a strataflash on it.
  8. so, the starting delay is caused by the encryption algorithm or not ?
  9. Serial interface between the rom and suzy ??? Are the lynx schematics wrong ?
  10. well the basic video mode (without any tricks) of the atari st is 16colors out of a palette of 512, ports wouldn't be so ugly.
  11. I've seen reports saying 9V may be a little too high (especially if the regulation isn't very good and you get above 10V) 7,5V could be a better choice.
  12. I've been making more researches on the subject, in fact the cclp2 is a chip's challenge ruleset originally written for the windows version of the game and the 2 versions are not fully compatible. Your best bet would be to port tileworld to the psp, it's written in C and uses SDL, should be quite easy. I can't help since I don't own a psp, if you can't program, find a team to do it for you.
  13. can't plynx play homebrew images ? No need to encrypt a homebrew to play on emulators.
  14. wouldn't it be more easy to design a server which would accept connexions always on the same port, you launch a server, give the ip to those willing to play no need to configure handy for different ports.
  15. That's really interesting, I'll keep it in mind for further designs/repairs.
  16. I'm currently using my 220V adaptor here in canada (110v) the lynx powers just fine and there's no more risk to fry it. :-) I understand how my friend could burn my lynx I now, I used to have a multipower adapter, he must have used the wrong settings on it (or maybe he swapped the polarities).
  17. couldn't those be inductors in place of resistors ? L8,L9... are strange names for resistors.
  18. I don't think it would be so expensive to produce such boards, I'd say about 20 CAD$ each.
  19. well our units may come from the us, there's a sticker saying it was imported, no clue from where though.
  20. Sorry, no sports games for me.
  21. nope, mine is a pag-0401 with all the fcc and patent info. I bought it rather late in france after a friend of mine fried my lynx 1 (I'd say in fall 1992, well maybe it's not that late considering the lynx 2 was released in 1991)
  22. I'll try to check my french unit when coming home and let you know about the model number.
  23. I don't think rygar or shadow of the beast are adventure games (dracula is). Just remove the "fighting" word in the thread title mr.kizza, so that, we, picky guys, are happy :-)

    Yes it works well, I know someone that used it to make dreamcast serial cables (actually he swapped the 6Mhz quartz for a 6.144 one to match the dreamcast clock, that changes the usb rate too and it's not supported by every computer).

    Well in fact bauds correspond to the frequency of the carrier, if you code one bit for each period, then yes bauds and bps are equal, but if you code 2 bits per period, bauds are half the bps and so on. One could use the ftdi chips (FT232BM for example or the DLP-USB232M module ready to use), they come with windows and linux drivers and support 300bps -> 3Mbps in TTL (the base rate can be divided by numbers between 2 and 16384, so 62500 is an exact match).
