The one floating around isn't complete, I KNOW someone here put a more complete (and corrected) version (with SL1 & SR1 pins for ex)
ps: yes, I used the search button..but it can't find it

The power of signal afected to SL1/SR1 must exactly same as SL2/SR2 on extension slot (for MegaCD). I guess 0.5-1 volts of amplitude will be enough and nothing goes to smoke.KanedaFr wrote:if you connect an external jack to these 2 pins, it will be mixed in audio ouput no ? perhaps you must be sure of the signal ? I'm not good at audio signal but I remember learning about amp....perhaps you need to be sure audio isn't already 'amped' (?) or the CXA works with any signal ?
You're missing A0. The 68000 bus is a WORD bus. A1-23 is 16 MBytes, not 8. It's just addressed as 8 Mwords. There are byte strobes to tell the difference between "upper" and "lower" bytes on byte writes.eteream wrote:One related question (if this is totally off topic, tell me and I will delete it):
Since cart pin out has from A01 to A23, it can address 8 Megabytes. Well this is true? The upper 4MB are Sega restricted, but not hardware restricted? Or I-m missing something?
OK, It's true! memory is 16bit words.Chilly Willy wrote:You're missing A0. The 68000 bus is a WORD bus. A1-23 is 16 MBytes, not 8. It's just addressed as 8 Mwords.

Because SegaMD has not only cartrige as hardware, that can be used.eteream wrote:But what I'm trying to wonder is: if the cartridge can address 16MB, why they are restricted to 4MB? From the memory map I see there is a free/reserved region between 4MB-8MB; a cartridge can realy use it to be a 8MB cart? Why the A22 & A23 wires arrive to cart pin out if a cartridge can't use it?
I imagine the originally, SEGA never felt carts would EVER reach 4MB. It's been that way for many companies in the computer business. Apple Mac OS not being 32 bit clean, PCs not allowing for more than 640 KB, MegaDrive carts limited to 4MB...eteream wrote:But what I'm trying to wonder is: if the cartridge can address 16MB, why they are restricted to 4MB?
