  • To be exact, storing a number in any address between $DE00 and $DEFF will switch the bank (or disable the cartridge if bit #7 is 1.
    Also, setting a bank "that does not exist" (like bank 8 on a 64K rom) will set it to bank 0, bank 9 to 1 etc, because the upper bits are ignored.
    This behavior is actually emulated ONLY by VICE in full and by DENISE emulator. Not by the U2+ and not even by some fpga solutions.

  • Hi Marko Is it possible to use this PCB to create regular 16k cartridge? Only one 16k game but using W27C020 eprom. This is what I have with me :)

  • someday i need to try M27C801-100F1 as for 1mb :)

    It should be. Use the same jumper settings as for 27C080. On the right top side of the PCB there are two jumpers marked as "1MB Extend". You should leave out connections on the jumper PIN1 on the bottom side and configure other jumpers as for 27C040, move the jumper in the "1MB Extend" block from CE to OE and connect the 1MB jumper. There are photos on my GitHub page how to do it.

  • This is a great design, very useful, thank you Marko for sharing. I have two subjective suggestions for you to consider, if you ever want to further improve this one: 1. Consider removing default connections between jumpers to avoid cutting tracks (mode/lock/size/md) it's much easier to short solder them than cutting 2. Reset compatible with angle tact switch is more universal, like the one used in your C64 Magic Desk 512k Cartridge which is also great BTW. Cheers Mateusz

    Thank you for the suggestions. The angled tact switch is a bit tricky, I have to maintain position as some cartridge enclosures come with a pre-drilled hole, and there is very tight space for the switch to be rotated. I will try to make it. As for default connections, I will consider. Probably the best way is to remove them.

  • What's the difference between this cartridge and this one? https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/C64_Magic_Desk_512k_Cartridge.html

    This one has more options to turn it into Ocean or (somewhat) EasyFlash compatible, and can be fitted into more enclosures.

  • hello i just received and mounted the card with robocop 2 bin, but i can't get it to work. I followed all the instructions. I am attaching the photos. did I do something wrong? I didn't put the touch button, but I don't think it's necessary.

  • Hello, I bought this pcb and I am not able to make the bin for the Prince of Persia, I do not understand the instructions to do it. Could you pass me the patched file? Thanks

  • Fits perfectly in the Retro Innovations cartridge shells. https://store.go4retro.com/c64-sx64-c128-c128d-cartridge-enclosure/ I was even able to use sockets for the chips and still fit in the shell.

  • Can the cartridge handle the bank switching requirements of games like super zaxxon? thanks.

    Marko Solajic 2020-05-15 03:51:10Reply

    Unfortunately, no. Only Magic Desk and Ocean (and if you adapt them, some EasyFlash titles)

  • can I ply Toki(ocean) with this?

    Marko Solajic 2020-04-14 07:01:15Reply

    Yes, it is a 128kb game, it works wit this cartridge.
