Unbelievable Neo Geo Project!

using n64 memory card???? NeoTurfmasta, tell me a bit more as I'm confused.......

What is there to be confused about?

In Liquid Snake's life everything is confusing.

Amazing isn't it!? N64 power on an home cart system. I proved all the naysayers wrong.

 

[wyndcrosser]

Can we 3dprint new cases for the n64 memory pak? That would be awesome. I know the guy who does Flash's Flashmasta cases does 3dprinting.

I wonder what the neo geo data would be read as if stuck into an n64.

 

[GutsDozer]

That 64 mem card never had it so good.

Ingenious use for cheap and readily available tech.

I take it that the N64 memory pack has a bog standard flash chip in it that fits the NG's size limits, and you just matched the data/address/etc lines to the neo pinout?
Simple and awesome. Fantastic.

The N64 uses battery backed up sram just like Neo, just larger. It's a 32k chip and I bank switch it into two 16k cards, same as my normal SaveMastas.

Yeah, matched the lines up with Neo and it works perfectly. Even though this is more of a joke project, the original idea was exactly as you said. Recycle the tons of N64 memory cards into something else.

I will not confirm or deny any past or present alleged drug use.

What about the future? This product has opportunities for a massive windfall.

 

[Electric Grave]

Genius!!! Mass production please...

 

[wataru330]

Rad! The hyper 64 finally gets a memory card, right Liquid Snake?

 

[GutsDozer]

I'm still in total shock that Turf just found an actual good use for the N64 mem card. It so ingenious and twisted.

 

[Xian Xi]

I can't wait for the AES jumper pack mod.

 

[Syn]

Nice work!

Now I want to see it sticking out of a cab.

Turf,

Are you certain that SRAM is 5v tolerant? I'm almost certain the MIPS 4K CPU in the N64 is a 3.3v system.

That could explain the resistor.

 

[NeoTurfMasta]

That could explain the resistor.

The resistor is for the bank switch.

Turf,

Yeah, I realize that before I did this. The sram is tolerant up to 7v.

 

[Xian Xi]

Are you planning on making these? Maybe open pre-orders.

Gospel.

 

[NeoTurfMasta]

Wasn't planning on making a real run of these. This really was a joke/fun project.

And more on the voltage tolerance of the sram. I have come across 2 different sram brands on the cards I have. Most seem to be regular 5v types, only one says it recommends 3.6v, but is tolerable up to 7. My 3rd party cards also use 5v chips.

I hope you got permission from Data East for using that Ghostlop artwork...

 

[DNSDies]

If someone seriously wants some of these, you could provide the design on a service like Oshpark. They do small 3 board runs for a decent price.

You have to solder the components yourself though, and provide a parts list for mouser or digikey.

The boards would be purple, though.

So down for a NeoVibeMasta. This thing at waist level in the Big Red, the wife might finally get into Neo gaming.

 

[KalessinDB]

You WERE promising big things in the pipeline after all
