TrekMD Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 Rafał Jankowski has announced he will be releasing a new multicart for the Atari Lynx called the AgaCart. The AgaCart will use an SD cart for storing ROM files. You choose the games using buttons on the back of the cartridge. The Cart supports 256k and 512k games in .lyx format, 128k files need to be converted to 256k. The maximum number of files is 199. Rafał Jankowski has released already a 48-in-1 Lynx multicart in the past, so he has experience with this type of project and this is essentially an updated version of his previous multicart. For those interested, the AgaCart can already be ordered by contacting Rafał at the Polish Atari Forums. He plans to start a thread for taking orders on Atari Age as well. If you're curious about the technical details, check out the thread at the Polish Atari Forum. Atari Creep, RockyRaccoon, Justin and 2 others 4 1 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming...

RickR Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Do you have any idea what the price may be, TrekMD? This looks really cool. I'm glad you shared it. Justin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted April 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 The design is really cool. I like that the micro SD card goes into the side. He lists the price in the thread I linked to but I guess once a thread is started in Atari Age we may get better details. The price he lists is 220 PLN, which is about $57 US for the cart itself.

RickR Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 I think that's an outstanding deal. I'll try to keep my eye out for that AtariAge post. TrekMD and Justin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted April 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 I agree! The shipping shouldn't be too bad either since it is a fairly small item. Justin 1 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DegasElite Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 That is a cool item. Is it just as good as the SD cartridge that SainT makes from RetroHQ? I assume it is basically the same, isn't it? Justin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is actually a good rule of thumb. I like that feature. :) Justin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossBow Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Hmm... I like the design of this quite a bit and can easily see me buying one of these once the AA thread is made for ordering them.

CrossBow Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 Yeap mine arrived yesterday though I haven't fired it up yet to check it out. I can tell you that the entire package is excellent and worth the cost for admission on presentation alone!

TrekMD Posted May 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 I got mine as well. The packaging is indeed very nice. I have not been able to test it as it arrived the day I was leaving on vacation. Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 I did get a reply today and paid using Paypal. I hope I did it correctly. Looking forward to getting that cart. I understand from CrossBow's video that it should take 2 weeks or so. THANKS for pointing me in the right direction! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted July 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Excellent! Yes, it does take about two weeks to get it. Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRaccoon Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 I'm getting one this payday coming up. I love the two Lynx games I've played.

Is there a way to know what BIOS currently in place? I need to take the micro-SD card out and make a backup...I'll bet the BIOS file in use is probably on there.
