Can the SNES actually use 3.3V logic? I recently tried building a cartridge reader with my DE1, but I couldn't get any ROM readbacks to work, and I'm currently attributing it to the SNES needing 5V logic. If you found a way around this, let me know! :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01720399585474646747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-705536812493836035.post-63037286352403214012009-02-17T18:35:00.000-05:002009-02-17T18:35:00.000-05:00250$!

Especially the talk about the possibility to upload via USB makes me all tingly. <BR/><BR/>I currently test my code by uploading it to Tototec's card. And while it is a fine card, unplugging the cart from the SNES, putting it in the programmer and program it via Parallell cable and then reinsering it in the SNES is getting old.zinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13618705461764586586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-705536812493836035.post-64931553724912427932009-01-28T21:06:00.000-05:002009-01-28T21:06:00.000-05:00@IceKiller i can't see e-mails on blogspot but fee...@IceKiller i can't see e-mails on blogspot but feel free to e-mail me: scottsnes at umich.eduscottjghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00865187083873717495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-705536812493836035.post-53583209965036448042009-01-28T15:26:00.000-05:002009-01-28T15:26:00.000-05:00@scottjg don't know if you can see my mail.. but d...@scottjg don't know if you can see my mail.. but drop me a line..<BR/><BR/>i'll give you some info on how to also be able to use this stuff to make it for nintendo64 ;)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10335623198244097008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-705536812493836035.post-63250524548992137182009-01-28T13:42:00.000-05:002009-01-28T13:42:00.000-05:00@Icekiller i haven't done anything with the savega...@Icekiller i haven't done anything with the savegames or special chips yet, but I have glanced over emulator source thinking about this stuff.<BR/><BR/>you will notice that pinocchio (the cart i used) is a hirom game, and that jeopardy is a lorom game, so i do have some grasp on the mapping.<BR/><BR/>i'm delaying a lot of the more advanced stuff while i work on my new pcb for this project.<BR/><BR/>as far as the altera vs xilinx choice, for me, i'm just using what was available in my lab. it has an sd card slot already on the board as well, which is nice.scottjghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00865187083873717495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-705536812493836035.post-31861668556328280232009-01-27T16:14:00.000-05:002009-01-27T16:14:00.000-05:00nice work, i'm personally opting for the FPGA spar...nice work, i'm personally opting for the FPGA spartan 3an..<BR/><BR/>nice board.. en pretty ok with the price..
