Memory Track ByPass Cart?

[+davidcalgary29]

All right...this may be a stupid request, but would it be possible to create a CD bypass cart that has memory-storage functions in it? There's a lot of great new games coming out on CD, and it's quite a shame that -- for now -- we won't be able to save games in progress. How about it?

Hello,

 

yes of course, a cartridge containing a CD-Bypass and a MemoryTrack-functionality could be done. In fact, it has been done.

But such cards aren't available for purchase till now.

 

An aspect you shouldn't oversee is, that CD-games created for the current generation of CD-Bypass-cards (which offer "only" a big serial E2prom to provide save-game-space for several games) will most often not contain the necessary functions to detect and to use a MemoryTrack-compatible device presented by new generations of CD-Bypass cards.

 

Regards

Matthias

 

PS: Just to make it more clear:

New CD-games could save to the serial E2proms of the B&C CD-Bypass-card, BSGold or ProtectorSE, but only if they are designed to do it. And i mean that several games could share the serial E2prom.

There's that "till now" translation problem you mentioned before, Matthias.

 

I think what you mean is non are available for purchase "yet".

 

I know what you mean since you explained the German translation to me, but the English interpretation of "till now" means "false before this moment, but true after this moment".

The title of the thread is "MemoryTrak Bypass Cart". I think the question pertains to a Bypass with MemoryTrak compatibility. None of the current bypass schemes support this.

 

The only items that support this are a hacked MemoryTrak Hybrid from ages ago, and some in hardware in development.
