Support for Analogue / RetroFreak adapters

[toaks2804]

Hello. I have various cart adapters from Analogue that I am hoping are compatible with the Sanni. There is one for the Master System, Game Gear, SG-1000 Carts and Cards and they connect to the Genesis port. They also have a Game Gear, Neo Geo Pocket, TG-16, and Atari Lynx that connect to the GBA port. Has anyone tried them? Also I have a cart adapter from RetroFreak for SG-1000, Game Gear and Sega Card games. Anyone tried this one? If they dont work, could support be added for them?

Can't say for the Analogue ones. But if the adapters' pins are more/less numerous, or with a different mapping than the current ones supported by OSCR, then they won't work as-it...

About the RetroFreak SEGA adapter you have, is it different than "Retron5 3-in-1" ?
Just googled for some pics and they look quite similar from the outside. Can't say for the inside.
You can maybe give it a try with the current code + Game Gear carts, by using Retron mode, but no guarantee...

I think the RetroFreak and Retron5 adapters are pretty much the same. I'm pretty sure I remember reading somewhere that the Retron5 adapter worked on the Retro Freak console.

Months later, I can finally answer to this !

So yes, "RetroFreak RF-5" and "Retron5 3-in-1" adapters are quite close.
A difference between them is that the Retrofreak one was more designed for the asian market. Its top slot is shaped for MARK III cartridges (so raphnet adapter is no more the only way to read them with OSCR) whereas Retron one was designed for Master System carts.

I can confirm that RetroFreak RF-5 is working wih current code (v12.8) :

Nice! So is the card capture still required? The adapter has its own card slot doesn't it?Sent from my Galaxy -------- Original message --------From: PsyK0p4T ***@***.***> Date: 8/16/23 3:59 PM (GMT-08:00) To: sanni/cartreader ***@***.***> Cc: toaks2804 ***@***.***>, Author ***@***.***> Subject: Re: [sanni/cartreader] Support for Analogue / RetroFreak adapters (Discussion #693) Months later, I can finally answer to this !

Yes there is a card slot on the adapter's left side, but for now I didn't success at dumping anything with it.
Note that SEGA cards in general are not well supported, even with the Card Catcher. And I don't have many of them. It would be interesting to do more tests with SG-1000 cards, MARK3 and European SMS ones etc.
