The Carnivore2 cartridge has been released. This cartridge is an all-in-one and has 8mb FlashROM, 1mb of RAM, 720kb of shadow RAM, IDE (CF card), FMPAC and SCC/SCC+ emulation as well as PSG and PPI clicker emulation on board. The multimapper part of the cartridge supports Konami4, Konami5 (SCC and SCC+), ASCII 8 and ASCII 16 mappers. Some Korean mappers may be added later. The cartridge can be also used as pure RAM, pure SCC, pure SCC+, pure IDE, pure FMPAC or a combination of those devices.

MRC user Alexey has been working with his team RBSC on the Carnivore2 cartridge for a while and released it as a Do-It-Yourself project on Github. The cartridge has a full FM-PAC BIOS translated into English by Max Iwamoto. FM Basic works of course. The 3.5mm audio jack outputs stereo FMPAC, mono SCC, PSG and PPI clicker sound.

Sources, like the hardware parts list, tools, firmware, ROMS and more, are available at RBSC's Github project page.
