jfmateos Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) I am pleased to announce that my USB drag and drop Burner (http://atariage.com/forums/topic/223165-watara-vectrex-flash-cart-rewritable-multigame-cartridge-available/?hl=%2Bmvrmc&do=findComment&comment=2948633) will be soon compatible with Atari Lynx. Every cart will be able to hold 16 up to 256kb games, or 8 up to 512 games. This is the last prototype Thanks to everyone supporting my developments.

LX.NET Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 that looks really swell. I am looking forward to seeing more of this. I imagine you use a different connector than the one for the vectrex cartridge. any idea what the cartridge is going to look like (size, knob or otherwise)? Keep us posted!

jfmateos Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) Size is just the same as a regular Lynx cart. The Lynx connector is in one side, and the burner connector is in the adjacent side. The rewritable cart uses a rotary switch, just like my other developments, and it can be attached into Lynx I and Lynx II.

StijnDW Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Wow, that looks great and would be useful to play the rarer games on a real Lynx and help in home-brew development.Only thing that looks "fragile" is the knob. Are you going for the same one with the Lynx cartridge ? I would fear it would break off especially on a portable device.Although maybe a bit less user friendly, might something like a DIP switch not be a better solution ?

vectrexroli Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 That´s interesting to see. Thanks for keeping us updated! Any idea already when it will be released? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfmateos Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 StijfDW, I will keep the rotary switch because I find it easier to use than dip switches, but probably I will use a shorter shaft. The first 10 PCBs have already been ordered and I should get them before the end of this month... if there is insterest, I will order more PCBs, but probably they won´t be ready before summer (june-july).

Jungsi Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 That's great to hear - as I already own the one for Vectrex I'd also like to get one or two for my Lynx when it's finished and ready to ship! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GadgetUK Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Would love one, any idea how much they will be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfmateos Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 Yes the price for the first batch will be 26€ for the burner (compatible with Vectrex, Supervision/Watara, BitCorp Gamate and Atari Lynx... more in future), 24€ for each 16in1 Atari Lynx cartridge, and 6.55 for the worldwide registered mail (up to 100g). You can find more information about other consoles cartridges in my web: http://www.vectrex.hackermesh.org/index.php/en/mvbd-mvmc-3/faq Next batchs could be a bit more expensive (1 o 2 € more) because of euro depreciation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StijnDW Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Also interested in buying one here.I'm also interested in the specific design & components. Did you publish any schematics ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Looks good! I might get this one instead of other Lynx flash cart, there aren't many games I don't have that has ROM available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls650 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 That's terrific - I was already thinking of buying one to use with my Vectrex... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
