As an alternative, there is the uIEC. Jim Brain said it should work on a VIC20, and I'll try to test it with my VIC in September at SWRAP.

Just copy all the files you want onto the Flash card with your PC, and include a copy of Boray's menu program (or use Leif's utility cartridge :wink:). Just load the menu, then pick the game you want.

I've just bought a Compact Flash to IDE adapter identical to the one Jim used on the prototype, only cost four quid including postage from Hong Kong.

I'm planning to hook it up to a 6502 based computer, possibly my Vic.

Too bad he didn't wade through the thread where Mikam73 orders and eventually receives his Mega-Cart.
In the end it will be as if nothing ever happened.

What is this 'Mega-Cart' of which you speak? :p

Is this Final Expansion cartridge an already made product or is it a kit. I would really like to get one of these?

There is the Rittenhouse Multi-cart/Development Cart. The relevant thread is at

Perhaps one can make a daughter board which takes a much larger EPROM or Flash and uses a second set of DIP switches to select an image of 32 games at a time? :lol:

As a side note, I've been promised another VIC-20 multicart design is about to get produced in small quantities later on 2010.

Nice Anders, which is your idea ?
Mega-Cart: the cartridge you plug in once and for all.

Well, I am not the designer. Actually it is a design planned in c:a 2003, years before the Denial multi-cart project. It just hasn't been finished and produced until now.
