## Acknowledgement
This project wouldn't be possible without these contributions:
2023-01-04 20:47:23 +01:00
- [64drive](https://64drive.retroactive.be) orders being on permanent hold long before creating this repository.
- [EverDrive-64 X7](https://krikzz.com/our-products/cartridges/ed64x7.html) being disappointment for homebrew development (slow USB upload, unjustified price and overcomplicated SD card access).
2023-01-04 23:29:17 +01:00
- [Jan Goldacker (@jago85)](https://github.com/jago85) and his projects:
2023-01-04 20:47:23 +01:00
- [Brutzelkarte](https://github.com/jago85/Brutzelkarte_FPGA) providing solid base for starting this project and sparking hope for true open source N64 flashcarts.
- [UltraCIC_C](https://github.com/jago85/UltraCIC_C) reimplementation for easy integration in modern microcontrollers. Thanks also goes to everyone involved in N64 CIC reverse engineering.
- [N64brew](https://discord.gg/WqFgNWf) Discord server community being very helpful during flashcart development.
- [FatFs](http://elm-chan.org/fsw/ff/00index_e.html) FAT32/exFAT library being easiest to integrate in embedded environment.
2023-01-04 23:29:17 +01:00
- [Yakumono's (@LuigiBlood)](https://twitter.com/LuigiBlood) extensive [64DD documentation](https://github.com/LuigiBlood/64dd/wiki) and its implementation in various emulators.
2023-01-04 23:31:37 +01:00
- [Libdragon](https://github.com/DragonMinded/libdragon) open source N64 SDK project and its developers.
