Matthias Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Hello all, yesterday i have added a webpage with info about my Windows-based tool WinFLASH V1.2 for the Atari Flashcard, you can find it in the tools section of my Jaguar-website, on the webpage are links for ZIP-archives with the executable and the Visual C++ source, as well as links to the website of the printer-port driver DLL you'll need to get my program work. Here is the link to the WinFLASH webpage: http://www.mdgames.de/jaguar_winflash.html Kind regards Matthias 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinkoVitch Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Excellent! I was pondering flashing some of my stuff to my flashcart for demo'ing at the pub and wondered how I would accomplish that. Now I have the answer! top news! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthias Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 Hello! Excellent! I was pondering flashing some of my stuff to my flashcart for demo'ing at the pub and wondered how I would accomplish that. Now I have the answer! top news! So did it work for you and all the other who tried it out? I am asking because i wasn't able to test it before releasing it. Kind regards Matthias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry not had need or chance to try it out yet. Will also need to dig out a cable for it too. I'll let you know once I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralMurdock Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Do you need an old computer with parallel port to program it ? Or is there a usb -> parallel cable that works under windows 7 that will do ? Like the skunkboard the cartridge needs to be in the atari jaguar to be programmed or there is a way to give it power away from the jaguar ?

Matthias Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hello! Do you need an old computer with parallel port to program it ? Yes, Atari's FLASH-card uses a parallel-port cable connection (DSUB-25 to DSUB25), and Atari provided a DOS-based program that communicates with the FLASH-card via the printer-port. Or is there a usb -> parallel cable that works under windows 7 that will do ? This could be possible, but i don't have any experience with such USB-to-Printer-cables. (For my development-work i use a "Jaguar era"-compatible Win98SE-PC with both real printer and real serial ports). Like the skunkboard the cartridge needs to be in the atari jaguar to be programmed or there is a way to give it power away from the jaguar ? No, you need to have the Atari FLASH-card inserted in the Jaguar's cartridge slot, the FLASH-card is not an autonome device.

Zerosquare Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) This could be possible, but i don't have any experience with such USB-to-Printer-cables.I tested two such cables (based on two different chips). Both of them are compatible with the standard printer protocol only ; otherwise, they don't work at all. So unless the Flash cart protocol is compatible, it won't work.
