rj1307 Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 Software update. Changes: - The maximum data transfer speed in developer mode has been doubled. - The possibility to change the baud rate for RS232 has been added in the MENU. - Contrast adjustment for the LCD display has been added in the MENU. - Forced startup of the console without a game loaded has been added. To do this, turn off the cartridge, press and hold the ESC button and turn on the power. - In the development mode, loading a new game does not require turning off the power, just press the ESC button. - Minor cosmetic fixes To update the cartridge, upload the dragon.bin file to the root directory of the SD card, insert the SD card and turn on the cartridge's power supply. The bootloader will start automatically, after it is finished, delete the dragon.bin file from the SD card. v1.03.zip 7 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rj1307 Posted December 26, 2020 Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 Yes, you can turn on both interrupts in the Menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj1307 Posted December 26, 2020 Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 Software update. Changes: - Acceleration of loading games from the SD card - Added support for 272kB and 528kB files - An option to enable / disable showing the file name before loading the game into memory has been added to the Menu. Disabling this option speeds up file loading by 1.2s After updating the software, it is necessary to set the newly added options in the Menu. I also updated the user manual:Manual.pdf v1.04.zip 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rj1307 Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 They probably don't exist, but 7800basic can generate them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SmittyB Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 272K and 528K are effectively extensions of the 144K format with 32K always available and 16K switchable via banks compared to 256K and 512K which only have 16K always available. This is good news for me because if I eventually need to expand Spire of the Ancients beyond 144K I would have to use one of those formats and this would be the only way I could test it on hardware. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7800 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I know this is a shot in the dark, but if there was enough interest... would you consider working on an SD cart for the Sega SG-1000?? ...or even more of a shot in the dark, would you be interested in a commission for a "one off" SD cart for the Sega SG-1000. I don't know if something like this would be logistically worth the time and effort, but thought I'd ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj1307 Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 Interesting topic, but definitely not now, I have too much work to do with the assembly of Dragonfly. Besides, I would have to have such a test console. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did some quick tests to ensure that everything is working - it is. Ballblazer is working like the original cartridge (the latter carries an additional Pokey chip). The YM2151 demos are very nice, never thought that this would be possible on the 7800. Dragonfly's shell is a 3D printed one. Nothing special here, but it feels very solid, fits perfectly in 7800's slot and nothing wobbles nor shakes. It's menu is simple and easy to understand...would be nice if could display long filenames. Maybe in a later firmware update. So I'm very happy with this module. The only thing is that only hell knows, and this the only Con so far, why this nice Dragonfly sticker is glued at the backside of the module is it possible to order it?

andreaspv Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 the project is suberbo. In order to avoid problems even for those who sell ... to put a games list WHERE WITHOUT THE ADDITIONAL CHIP YOU CANNOT HEAR THE SOUND. the cartridge is fantastic, but it could be of little use if then maybe a favorite game, it can be without sound. Also how do homebrews work? maybe it's easier to upload a 10 minute video to youtube with a demo of the latest release cartridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works with homebrew, including those that use POKEY and Yamaha sound chips. This is all well documented in this thread if you read back a little. There is no need for a list of games where you can't hear the sound, as there aren't any as of now. No one has reported such issues. Hope this helps.
