Around one or two years ago a website with exclusive information on the WonderSwan disappear, I’ve manage to contact the author, the original server had a HardDrive crash, but he manage to restore some part and put them on another website. So here are the wsc_tech documents:
I’m sending right now the data to process the batch of PCB, due to some test (printer’n’paper test are the best thing to do!) I found that I stupidly use the width of the internal cartridge PCB instead of the cart itself, and found out that the PCB was going more than expected in the swan, so I do a small modification on the PCB to use a more accurate width, and add a T shape like on top to support more the cart connector, and adding a small surprise on this part.
I’ve just finished the design of the WonderLyzer board, and I will send the PO for the pcb before the end of this week, so if you want one, your are running out of time, so be quick! Continue reading More on WonderLyzer→
As I am working on my big WonderSwan project, I will quite soon make a PCB run for making analysing stuff more easy and clean, that why I will introduce a new accessory: the WonderLyzer.
Here is the great new, I was finally be able to correctly and cleanly dump a WonderWitch (without any hardware modification)! As you may know there is no known dump of the WonderWitchon internet, at least none I’me aware of. Anyway no emulator are really able to correctly support the WonderWitch. The only one that is “near” is oswan173, but there is no way to use it after as there is no serial port emulation, and I suspect that it does not correctly emulate the SRAM part as the WonderWitch use much more SRAM than standard game.
Also, don’t ask, I will not provide the dump for obvious copyright reasons.
But why I speak about this? Because the WonderWitch will allow me (and you also) to know more about the WonderSwan.
