We’re proud to announce that Gameboy USB Flash Cartridges designed by Jose “BleepBloop” Torres are now officially for sale. These cartridges were designed with chip music making and software development in mind. The cartridges contain 16Mbit (2 Mbytes) Flash and 128 kbytes of battery packed SRAM, which is more than enough for Little Sound Dj, the de facto Gameboy music tracker today.
Additionally, the cartridges have the following features:

• Uses a real MBC5 memory banking circuit, as found in commercially released Gameboy games.
• Features an S-RAM protection circuit which protects your save data from the (in)famous “00 39″ bug that overwrites your data with the sequence $00 $39, or erases it entirely. Most other flash cartridges, including the common HKEMS cartridge lack this protection.
• The backup battery sits in a socket, so it is easy to replace.
• And of course, the big feature. The cartridge is reprogrammable over USB. You no longer need a dodgy parallel port adapter that may or may not work with your computer. Just plug a USB cord right into the cartridge to flash it or to backup the data on it. The software is compatible with Windows and Linux, and OSX will soon be supported.

The cartridge is for from the shop on this site as well as from Kitsch-Bent.

(No cross-authentiction between the forum and wiki; reading works just fine) Stay tuned more more news!
