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 have some sort of a copy of the wsc_tech1, it’s the IO mapping. I will eventually post it here soon.
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.
Hello everyone!
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!

Hi Everyone,
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.

Hello everynone!
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.

I am still looking for swan parts! Don’t hesitate to leave a comment if you have something you want to give!
I’m searching for dead WonderSwan (when I say dead I mean really non working unit) whatever the version it is (B&W, Color, Crystal), to be able to go further on my project, if you have one that you want to give, don’t hesitate to leave me a comment, I will contact you back to define where to send it 🙂
A color/crystal with a non broken screen will be a plus, but it’s not that important.
The goal it to get the cart connector from the device, and try to transform the device as an emulator remote for a future project…
Thank you in advance for you help 🙂
A friend of mine asked me for internal shot of the WonderWitch, so I do it even better, I take all the games I have with me, open them, then make some pron WonderSwan cardridge photos 😉
Here is a view of all the cartridge:
You can see that here the WonderGate is bit shy, he didn’t want to be nude on these photos 😉
Hi everyone,
I just received a new toy for my WonderSwan, something, that I think is not really common, at least outside of Japan, even if the WonderSwan is not common outside of Japan.
