Nouvelle cartouche flash Game Boy en USB

Derp ‘n’ drop est une cartouche flash Game Boy en USB dont le but est de faire en sorte qu’aucun driver propriétaire ne soit nécessaire afin d’être reconnue par le système d’exploitation, ce qui fait qu’elle sera nativement compatible Windows, Mac, Linux…
Cette cartouche se différencie aussi par sa mémoire non-volatile F-RAM qui a une durée de vie beaucoup plus importante qu’une RAM alimentée par batteries.

Features:
24MBit (3MByte) flash ROM
1MBit (128KByte) Ferroelectric RAM
Instead of battery-backed SRAM, the cart uses F-RAM, which maintains its contents in the absence of power, and has a data retention span on the order of a hundred years.
USB mass storage emulation
The cart appears similar to a thumb drive, allowing ROM and RAM contents to be copied via drag and drop. No drivers are required, and supports all USB-capable platforms.

Bref la cartouche parfaite qui j’espère aboutira à quelque chose de concret!
