A new CPLD upgrade pack for the N64 Myth flashcart has been released!

Changelog:

[1] nothing change,just re-compile the CPLD core,because the previous V6 core have something wrong with the save part when we compile it

You can read up more info by clicking here

A brand new version of the SNES MYTH MENU has been released which includes 2 major updates : Original cart rom & sram dumping directly to the SD card by just plugging your cart into the back of the SNES Myth!

Full release changelog

• Cart dumping support. You can dump the contents of the bootcart (the one that you plug into the back of the SNES Myth) to the SD card.   I've verified that it works for ROM, and should hopefully work for SRAM as well.    (See the readme for more info, because you need to put some files on the SD card for this to work.)
• Added key-repeat. If you hold up/down for about half a second it will start repeating keypresses until you release the button.
• Modified the timing in the VGM player a bit.

A youtube video showing some of the improvements: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTyMfxzZBn4

New in this version:

• Faster SD loading (at least if your core FW is 2.4 or later). The transfer speed has been increased about 15-20% (I get around 160-170 kB/s with my SanDisk cards).
• Added support for 48 Mbit ExHiROM games when loading from SD.
• Added some SRAM type detection for HiROM games when loading from SD.
• Fixed some bugs in the region fixing code.

New menu for the MKIII/SMS Myth flash cart. Supports running games from SD card on Neo2-SD and Neo2-Pro carts. Also supports running SG-1000 games and playing PSG-only VGM music files.

Use the Neo2 Pro Manager client for the PC to format a Neo2-SD or Neo2-Pro cart - select MD format and change the menu file to the file in the archive, NEOSEGA4.BIN. If you wish to run any games from the flash, add the NEOSEGA4_Return-Menu.SMS rom file FIRST. Without that, you cannot reset to the menu from flash games. Note that this menu cannot yet reset to menu from games loaded from SD - we are working on that; in the meantime, just power off the console, then power back on to go back to the menu. After adding the Return-Menu, you can add any other SMS/SG-1000 games to the flash. You don't need to add any if you are going to use an SD card.

When you boot your SMS with an SD card in place, the menu will automatically go to the SD browser. If you boot without an SD card in place, it will automatically go to the flash browser. In the SD card browser, directories are shown with the name in brackets like this: [Master System]. The browser starts at the root of the SD card; to go into a directory, use up/down/left/right to high-light the directory and press button 1. The menu then loads the directory listing and shows the new list. High-light ".." and press 1 to go back one level. When high-lighted, the menu also shows you the long version of the file name, if it has one.

Select a game and press 1 to run the game. Press 2 to go to the options display. If the file is a VGM music file, then it will be loaded and the VGM player started. You can currently only play PSG-only VGM files. Press 2 to exit the VGM player back to the menu.

The menu automatically handles the most common type of header found on SMS rom images, so you don't need to strip your images. If you find a rom that doesn't run, please contact us. Note that there are still things to be added to the menu, like playing FM VGMs and handling cheats. If you have any suggestions, please post them.

Note - mic did the bulk of the work on this menu... everybody thank mic for his tremendous efforts!

please test and report to us     

Okay, I've bumped the current menu to v2.4b1. If you missed it, v2.3 added the save manager for saving save memory and save/restore of MemPak save memory. New to this version is running NES games - when you select an NES game from the SD card, the menu loads the Neon64 emulator, appends the game, recalculates the checksum, and starts the emulator. The current version of Neon64 is included with the archive and must be copied to the SD card; copy the neon64 directory from the archive to the /menu/n64 directory on the SD card.

Here's another one of my VGM players that I've written lately; an NES version.  (the others are here, here and here).

This version supports Master System, Game Gear (SN76489) and NES (2A03) music in VGM format. Music made for other machines using SN76489 - like Colecovision and BBC Micro - should also work, but might not sound correct due to differences in the noise LFSR width.

Release thread : http://www.neoflash.com/forum/index.php/topic,6715.0.html

This is a VGM player I've written for the original monochrome Gameboy (and Color/Light/SGB/Advance).

You can download it and the source code here
And you can see/hear it in action here

It obviously doesn't cover all the chips supported by the VGM format. Only the SN76489 is emulated (used in Sega Master System and Game Gear).

Since the waveform channel on the Gameboy only has 4 different volume settings it'll probably sound weird in some songs. Loading new waveforms dynamically to simulate 16 volume settings didn't seem like a good option.
