Hey all,

I've been digging some information about the neo myth cartridge but it seems they only have a 512mb version that does not support SD card.

it seems ic2005 is a terrible seller and it's the only one selling this kind of cartridges.

Is there any other possibility to play roms in the 64 ?

Not yet. There's a guy working on one that could be pretty amazing, but he's not quite finished.

that's sad :(

I wish retrousb create one.

And with the possibility to 8GB sd card, so we can put all the n64 games on a single cartridge, just like the nes flash and the harmony for the 2600.

It's an extremely complex and difficult solution for one person to concoct on their own. Krikzz (Igor) has been talking about moving on to an N64 flast cart. With an N64, you have a number of issues. Things like the lockout chip, getting it to work with 11 revisions of N64 console hardware, as well as load times. All of this requires many chips, and the N64 cart is not all that big, you run out of room. That plus you need to make the thing somewhat affordable for people.

The guy working on it has had to go through a couple revisions, as he basically is doing trial and error. He's pioneering. He's also working on game saving, which many others don't do upfront. Well, N64 saved games on SRAM, EEPROM, FlashRam, etc. He's also trying his best to eliminate those stupid JTAG cables for updating the cart. I have to give the guy a lot of credit, as he's been working on this pretty consistently for a year and a half.
