I know nuffink about no parrots neither.


Back onto offtopicness - I have successfully dumped the rom properly, worked out the layout, and even worked out how to rip apart the minios.bin and res.bin files.
I have put that stuff up on http://forum.retrosticks.com though, as it was getting a bit tedious with Volde^H he who shall not be named spamming the  :censored: out of this thread.

So far progress is good, I can now start either compiling my own goodies + sticking into the current bin file, or going linux.  I shall see :).

the good news is, i was able to get another variant of the gamebox called the ND3000 along with an odd gameboy advance SP clone which uses the same cpu. The bad news is, the ND3000 is dead. No video from it at all. Warmed up some solder points on the board just to see if it was anything loose. Nothing.

Strange thing is, there is a model of the GBA SP that does run cps1 games and has a micro sd slot. The model i have here plays GBA games from onboard memory and can also emulate nes games.

MY unit doesn't output anything. It does however, have an AV out jack. If i were able to get anything to output on this unit, i would have had a second look at possibly doing an RGB mod for it. I can sucessfully plug this into my pc and see the console as a mass storage device. Just get no sound or video on the screen. :(

If its dead dead, try flashing it with the Gamebox linux port

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0ByvCAHD9EnZhWFIyMi1OUXYzTVk

I'd open up  the box first and take some photos though, post on here with chipset details, ram and flash size so we can see if would be suitable first though.

Also the GBPlus /GBASP units - I'm pretty sure that its a different ARM SoC in those.

The Gamebox is MIPS - similar, but not quite the same!

Yeah, i plan to put this on a flatbed scanner a little later on and get some hi res scans of the board front and back. As for the GBA, this one uses the same igenic soc that is used in the gamebox consoles. I managed by pure mistake to get it to run in usb bootloader  mode by holding a few buttons down while putting in the usb cable. Gotta figure out that button combination again.
