|
|
|
|
Since now, tested on G-7000, G7400, C52, JOPAC and Odyssey 2. Waiting for a friend that has to repair his G7200 for completing the list ;)

PicoPAC is a multicart DIY yourself based on cheap "PURPLE" Raspberry Pi Pico clone, easy to build and not expensive.
|
|
**WARNING!** "purple" Pico has not the same pinout of original Raspberry "green" ones, you MUST use the clone or you may damage your hardware.
|
|
|
|
**NOTE** You should find all the ROM following this site https://rene-g7400.datatex.nl/
|
|
Please don't forget to upload the here provided "selectgame.bin" and "selectgame.$$$" file in flash!!!!
|
|
Also, even if now you can change filenames, remember that extROM games are checked by name, so they works only if named "VP_31.bin", "VP_40.bin" or "4inarow.bin"!
|
|
|
|
**NOTE 2** 3D files for shell are WIP and probably the PCB doesn't fit perfectly withous some cut/drill to PCB holes!! (Thanks to Mike Wilson for the Logo version)

Kicad project and gerbers files for the pcb are in the PCB folder, you need only a diode and a push buttons for resetting the cart if needed or want restart.
|
|
Add you pico clone, and flash the firmware ".uf2" in the Pico by connecting it while pressing button on Pico and drop it in the opened windows on PC.
|
|
After flashed with firmware, and every time you have to change your ROMS repository, you can simply connect the Pico to PC and drag&drop "BIN" files into.
|
|
But remember that only games already in menu will be seen by the cart.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Even if the diode should protect your console, **DO NOT CONNECT PICO WHILE INSERTED IN A POWERED ON CONSOLE!**
