FunnyPlaying Portable Cart Flasher -- "Burnmaster"
Channel: makho
Date: 2023-07-07

Overview of a prototype of Funnyplaying's portable cart flasher, the "Burnmaster". The prototype I have has a green PCB, a few manual fixes, and still a few known issues. The final retail version of this hardware will be coming with a matte black PCB and should be fully compatible with most retail GB and GBA carts and several popular flash carts for both systems. 

Flash cart compatibility will be better with a device such as GBxCart RW but this device should still be able to read ROMs and read and write saves and is otherwise stand-alone unlike other cart readers. 

This device is inspired very heavily by the miniature version of sanni's cart reader that I made a while back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOxNhg_8TrQ
