Unlocking the ISEPIC Cartridge - The Oasis BBS

Discover how the ISEPIC cartridge revolutionized game copying and preservation on the Commodore 64. Learn how it worked, its legacy, and its impact on retro computing.

The Oasis BBS
My favourite cartridge for the #c64, the #SuperSnapshot v5 is getting a lot of love recently. I replaced the EEPROM of one of the clones I built with a 128kB specimen and flashed Adrian Gonzales' SnappyROM. Now I can also use it with the #SD2IEC. I also updated my #KungFuFlash to the most recent firmware version which can also load the SnappyROM now. I heard rumors about the ROM for a few years and I am happy that it is finally available for everybody now. #retrocomputing

@notawizard I have built some clones of the #SuperSnapshot last year using the PCB layout from https://github.com/Kalidomra/SuperClone-5.0

I still have 5 unused PCBs and one finished cartridge. Send me a direct message if you are interested in any.

@notawizard I don't own an EasyFlash, but now you made me wonder of it is possible to configure the RAM in the #KungFuFlash.

Unfortunately I don't know of any software that utilises the RAM with the exception of the copy programs of the #SuperSnapshot.

@nause_marc what?! You can upgrade the RAM in a supersnapshot?
Actually I don't have a real one, I only have an AR6, but that's kinda cool.

I use the #SuperSnapshot in VICE and with the EasyFlash on the real hardware. Now you've made me wonder if the EasyFlash version can have the extra RAM. 🤔

Tonight I had a look at what changes when you copy a disk after upgrading the cartridge RAM of your #SuperSnapshot to 32kB. #c64

Oops! Does anybody know the soldering points of the reset button on the circuit board of the #SuperSnapshot v5? #c64 #retro
