Just curious, if a GB/GBC core were added to the AVS how woule one load a rom?
Is there some spare memory storage available on the FPGA board, or could they be loaded via a flashcart such as the Everdrive N8 or PowerPak?

I think it would be a popular addition to the AVS.

If the AVS's only upgrade was Game Boy support, I would be totally OK with that. I still play a lot of games on the GB, but usually have to resort to the SNES with Super Game Boy (great quality through RGB, but it would still look nicer through the AVS). The more things I can do on a single console without losing accuracy, the better. ]]> Possible to "Jailbreak http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=106&threadid=170948 2017-03-26T08:58:31 -05.00 Kosmic StarDust 30 Originally posted by: bunnyboy

Ugh... after some thought, as cool as the jailbroken NT Mini seems, I'm not super interested in pre-Famicom consoles and already have an AVS, so I'd mostly be buying they thing to play Master System games (and possibly a bit of Game Boy & Game Gear)...
I don't think I can justify the $$$ to myself... adding PC Engine / Turbo (even just HuCard games) would do it for me, but if I understand correctly, the NT isn't quite capable (or there just aren't any plans for it).

... but I will keep watching for any Z3k news!

It's already incredibly tempting for the amount of consoles that it is compatible with. If he pulled off TG16/PCE even at 720p, that would be really tempting to pick up. ]]> Possible to "Jailbreak http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=106&threadid=170948 2017-03-06T13:20:47 -05.00 Kosmic StarDust 30 Originally posted by: spoonman

Thanks Kevin, but I was replying to Brian's comment about possibly adding GB/GBC support to the AVS.

The Nt Mini looks nice too, but I'm pretty happy with the AVS so far. Once I get a fully working cartridge connector replacement and a way to stabilize USB mini jack I'll be very happy with it.

The Zimba 3000 system does sound nice though. Is there any ETA on it yet?

I released the GB/GBC core last week and Atari 2600 yesterday, so you can play all three of those systems now in full HD at 60fps at 1080p. Thanks Kevin, but I was replying to Brian's comment about possibly adding GB/GBC support to the AVS.

I'd be very happy with this!

Keeping it a Nintendo system also makes sense. That would be a great thing though. I would love to pllay games like Shantae and Super Mario Land on my large display in HD without resorting to emulation. As I get older I am realizing the benefits of a nice large HD display to game on, especially with something like Game Boy and GBC games.

So if I understand all this correctly, we'd be turning the AVS into the Coleco Chameleon?

Except, y'know, it's not a capture card/SNES mini in a Jag shell.

They did approach Kevtris at some point. He ultimately declined to work with them, but at least it seems that they were serious enough to talk to the right person. Perhaps they were counting on it and everything else happened in their death spiral!

Well I didn't decline to work with them, I was sort of on board (hey, you never know hehe) until their Indigogo campaign when they announced it wouldn't even ship with an FPGA inside it. That was the first I heard that they basically didn't want my cores in it. Just thought I'd clear it up.

Also, heya to everyone on the forum here. Long time listener, first time caller as they say.
Great to finally hear from you here, though most of us follow you wherever you leave nuggets. Yeah, I guess I meant "ultimately" as eventually.

Any info on the updated adapters for the "green strip" issue? I'd like to play some of my affected games the normal way.

Also, FF7 really hates the latest beta 8 update. It's far worse than the older firmwares for some reason.

Kevtris You are a god! Could nt mini run pc engine roms? Thanks
I don't know if there's enough RAM bandwidth to do it. I did add the ability to play SMS, game gear, coleco and SG-1000 friday though.
