I know that. BUT:
I use a 64 bit Windows system, so Icannot use standalone simulation
And, web based version too slow
I use a 64bit Windows system and ProjectABE runs beautifully on it.
Comparable to @eried’s Arduboy Dock.
(For the readers who haven’t seen that before.)
32bit programs will run on 64bit operating systems/processors.
It is 64bit programs that don’t run on 32bit operating systems.
Personally I prefer @mwm’s approach:
(I’ll give it a go someday *throws it on the ever-growing todo pile*.)
“Windows cannot open this file.”
That is one, but I can unpack it on my Smart PC 200D.
“This program in unavailable on this version of Windows.”
That is the other one.
It is the same reason you cannot run Turbo Pascal without a emulator.
I finally changed the expansion connector on my Arduboy to male so the flashcart can slot in
even without a case I think it looks cool. Maybe it’s just because Blinky sitting there on top

Hope I get those buttons soon so I can send some to @n602 for a slick case design
Oh, it came out at last!
I am preparing for the time to come.
It seems that flash-cart does not generate so much heat, but whether to open some ventilation holes …

I see you’ve made another design with holes. Seeing the orange yellow render I can’t help myself thinking about swiss cheese
The flashcart consumes very little power and produces no heat. So ventilation holes are not really needed. It’s an interesting design though and may be good for moist or airpressure sensor or insert LEDs into them and make a really bright flash light accessory. the holes at rear side give me the idea of making a Knight Rider scanner
Or a headphone jack output
Think we can stuff some fpga stuff into that port?
After a long holiday break there’s some more developments.
Just before I went on holiday those buttons did arrive and was able to send some flash carts to @n602 so he could perfect his case design.
Last week I received @n602 perfected case design and they really are perfect This weekend I soldered up the remaining parts I had left to make some more flashcarts so I could put them all in the colored cases
I’ll make some kits including backplate soon. So if anyone is interested in pimping your Arduboy with a bigger battery and/or flash cart, send me a PM.
They look amazing.
I’m still actually waiting on some level shifters to arrive after being messed around by some sellers over the past couple of months.
Oh, a lot of Flash-Carts are finished !!
The Flash-Cart and backplate data for 3D printers has been uploaded to Thingiverse.

9/06/2018 : Update
-addition of casing parts for Mr. Blinky’s Flash Cart system.
_
-For detailed information
To summarize the requirements and how to make it will be a long document, it was made into PDF.
Please find a readme pdf file,
readme-CasingPartsForFLASHCART_20180909.pdfthing:2853120
And you can download CAD data in .stp (STEP) format.
If you are interested in it, please get it and edit and improve it.
Thanks,
-Additional notes:
I noted that the PDF requires a LiPo battery for replacement.
However, if you process parts as follows, you can use the original battery as it is.
I noticed this by pointing out from @Mr.Blinky , Thank you.
Please be careful about battery handling, contact with signal wires etc, short circuit of power supply line.
Just a small update.
I had made some minor revision to the board and ordered some more in red last month. They arrived yesterday and turned out good. I’ve updated the board design on my Github.
Carts carts and carts
more storage? or a smaller cartridge?
just cosmetic changes
Is the ghost blushing with vias or is there an intentional reason you didn’t cap the vias with soldermask?
I intentionally placed the blinky ghost and vias there for the blushing effect.
Did I miss where you said how much additioanl space this takes up in every sketch?
0 bytes as the loader is built inside the Cathy3K bootloader. Oh wait I should say -1K as Cathy3K frees up 1K more space for sketches (standard caterina bootloader takes 4K)
Ah, right. Awesome work here - but if we had to switch to reading an SD card and dealing with FAT, etc. I doubt it would still all fit in 3kb.
