Acknowledgement
This project wouldn't be possible without these contributions:
- 64drive orders being on permanent hold long before creating this repository.
- EverDrive-64 X7 being disappointment for homebrew development (slow USB upload, unjustified price and overcomplicated SD card access).
- Jan Goldacker (@jago85) and his projects:
- Brutzelkarte providing solid base for starting this project and sparking hope for true open source N64 flashcarts.
- UltraCIC_C reimplementation for easy integration in modern microcontrollers. Thanks also goes to everyone involved in N64 CIC reverse engineering.
- N64brew Discord server community being very helpful during flashcart development.
- FatFs FAT32/exFAT library being easiest to integrate in embedded environment.
- Yakumono's (@LuigiBlood) extensive 64DD documentation and its implementation in various emulators.
- Libdragon open source N64 SDK project and its developers.
