Kung Fu Flash 2

Cartridge for the Commodore 64 that packs a punch.

Kung Fu Flash 2 is the big brother of Kung Fu Flash. It has a faster microcontroller with more memory and I/O pins, allowing for additional functionality.

Currently, this project is considered experimental and provides the same features as Kung Fu Flash, with these notable exceptions:

CRT files are loaded into RAM, not flash, making large CRT files startup faster. However, changes to EasyFlash cartridges are lost if power is turned off, unless saved via the menu first

The cartridge detects if the C64/C128 is reset. This allows the use of an additional reset button on the C64 or the built-in reset button on the C128

REU emulation has been added

Kung Fu Flash 2 can emulate different cartridge types, load PRG files and use D64 disk images. Just place your desired CRT, PRG or D64 files on a FAT formatted microSD card and use the built-in launcher to execute them.

Hardware

There are three buttons on the cartridge; a reset button, a menu button for starting the launcher, and a special button that is used by the freezer cartridges.

REU Emulation

Kung Fu Flash 2 can emulate a 1 Mb REU (RAM Expansion Unit) simultaneously with disk drive emulation. The REU is enabled in the settings menu (F5) and active when:

A program is executed using the default option (RETURN)

A disk image or directory is mounted using "Mount" in the file options menu (SHIFT+RETURN)

BASIC is started via F6 (C128) or F7 (C64) in the launcher

The REU will not be active when emulating cartridges (CRT files)

USB Port

The USB port allows programs or disk images to be transferred from/to a PC using the EasyFlash 3 USB protocol. The USB port is active when:

The Kung Fu Flash 2 launcher is running

A program is started using "Load" in the file options menu (SHIFT+RETURN)

BASIC is started via F7 in the launcher and REU emulation is disabled in the settings menu (F5)

Kung Fu Flash 2 shows up as a standard serial port when connected to a PC not requiring any custom drivers to be installed. This means, however, that the EasyFlash 3 program on the PC side must be modified to support Kung Fu Flash.

The repository of the original Kung Fu Flash contains a modified version of EasyFlash 3 USB Utilities and EasyFlash 3 BBS which will also work with the Kung Fu Flash 2.

Firmware Update

Just place the KungFuFlash_v2.xx.upd file on the SD card and select the file in the launcher to initiate the firmware update.
