32mbit C3 Mods

Here is a list of the mods necessary to convert a GBC cart into a 32mbit C3 cart.

MBC5 Cart modified for Rumble support

No value is given for the transistor because this depends on the motor you use & how much current the MBC5 pin can supply. Both of which I have no idea.

MBC5 pinouts

Here are the pinouts for the MBC5 memory bank controller.

Warioland II modification

Here are the modifications needed to the MBC3 cart to get the Real Time Clock (RTC) function working. In order to use the clock functions, though, you have to replace the ROM with your own flash ROM and your own custom-written code.

C3 mod for GB Camera support

Here's a photo of the solder side of the C3 programmer. The white wire shown is required to access the RAM & ROM of the GB Camera to allow transferring photos to a PC. No pc board trace cuts are required. No functionality is lost by making this modification.

PCB Layout Files (Gerber format) - PCB Layout Files (Postscript format)

Here are the Gerber files I used to have the C3 PC board produced. These are the only layout files that I have. In order to view/print them you need a program such as Advanced PCB by Protelor similar. Also included are the files in Postscript format thanks to Patrik Carlsson.

Resets MBC1 registers to default. Should now provide possibly more reliable programming for 3-in-1 carts.

Lars has recently adapted a C3 programmer for use on an Amiga. He has also ported GBDK to run on the Amiga as well !

C3 Multicart Menu V1.0 & Composite Generator V1.0

Here is a program to take several .GB files and generate a composite rom image that can be loaded in a C3 cart that has been modified for 3-in-1 multicart capability. Also included is a very plain menu program for selecting a rom image to execute.

Donkey Kong Table 27-Jun-97

Here are the first 32k bytes of the Donkey Kong rom & the GBDis table to disassemble it. This is an on going exercise to try to understand Super GameBoy (SGB) specific routines. To use, download GBDis V1.3 and type 'gbdis dk' to generate a 1MByte semi-source file.

VGB for DOS, the final episode?

Here's the latest version of VGB for DOS.

Tetris Table 8-Jun-96

This is a table for controlling the disassembly of tetris for use with the GBDis V1.3 disassembler or later. This table is to the point that the disassembled code now resembles the original source code minus the original comments. You can move routines around and it will still compile to a working game. Commenting the source code is laborious and is a slow process. NOTE: You must already have the game tetris for GB on disk in order to use this file.
