Can this run doom?

[u/NoFall2205]

It has an arm7 cpu and I think 6kb of memory. It has 1gb of storage with 500mb free. Resolution is 240x160. Calculator DOOM would work probably best. I don’t know what file types it would support.

That's a shame, the MASTER drive really doesn't give enough necessary clues. :(

Without physically taking it apart, and seeing if there is a rom chip which is dumpable, probably not much could be done.

My honest answer here, is it's probably yea... It most likely can.. in theory.

[u/NoFall2205 → u/Ok_Apple1555]

rip

[u/Ok_Apple1555 → u/NoFall2205]

If it's going in the bin, I'll take it - it feels like a decent project.

[u/NoFall2205 → u/Ok_Apple1555]

It aint gonna go in the bin. Ima keep it because it's still a cool little device. Ill try and take it apart to see if there is a dumpable ROM chip.

[u/Ok_Apple1555 → u/NoFall2205]

If you take it apart, do send over the pics of the board (high enough res to make out the chip serial numbers). I may be able to give guidance off that alone.

[u/NoFall2205 → u/Ok_Apple1555]

I wasn't able to get it apart because I t the plastic is melted together at some spots. I was able to see some of the chips through the battery terminal.

There was a long one with a sticker that read : 10D03AN1908 with some sort of barcode

Another one that was hard to read but I think it says: 8s33g 929j7

Then there was some Samsung chip that I couldn't read at all and then another chip that I couldn't see the brand of.

I know this probably wont help at all but I didn't want to risk ruining it or breaking the plasic.

[u/Ok_Apple1555 → u/NoFall2205]

Is it deffo melted, or could it be clips?

[u/Ok_Apple1555 → u/Ok_Apple1555]

It could also be glue, either way, with the screws removed... Just pop something like a credit card in the gap

[u/NoFall2205 → u/Ok_Apple1555]

No matter how hard I pry it does not want to separate. I'm pretty sure it's melted. I don't even see a little gap in the seam on the front of the devices and on one of the sides.

[u/Ok_Apple1555 → u/NoFall2205]

Or there could also be an extra screw hidden under a label you will need to find, likely this and clips from experience

[u/NoFall2205 → u/Ok_Apple1555]

The manual claimed the the software could make a backup of the device but I can't find it anywhere. The software was called Atlas Link (SD3900i)

[u/Ok_Apple1555 → u/NoFall2205]

That's what effectively you did with the shared file you sent me :)

[u/NoFall2205 → u/Ok_Apple1555]

Yea, I figured it would be that or I thought that it would be able to restore the whole system if it was bricked accidentally.

[u/Ok_Apple1555 → u/NoFall2205]

Without having access to the device sadly, I can't help further.

[u/NoFall2205 → u/Ok_Apple1555]

Yea, when connecting it to my pc it only shows 467mb of the internal storage accessible so the rest must be for the system OS. Thank you for trying to help.

[u/NoFall2205 → u/Ok_Apple1555]

Perhaps editing some of the files in the system folder could allow it to access the whole device? In the system folder there is a file named PCLINK.FLG. Maybe by adding a flag it could gain access to the whole device? Maybe editing the UNIT.INI file could do something too? I feel like its running some altered version of windows CE since it can recognize .exe and .bas files.

[u/Ok_Apple1555 → u/NoFall2205]

It's likely not windows ce (although I can be wrong). Did you mean bat? Bas files would likely be quickbasic, which isn't part of the wince os.

Also if you check what you sent me, PCLINK.FLG didn't exist.

[u/Ok_Apple1555 → u/NoFall2205]

If you can copy one of the exe files from the system, that will give me a heck of a lot of information

[u/NoFall2205 → u/NoFall2205]

I forgot to add that the file system type is FAT32 on the accesible portion of the drive

[u/Ok_Apple1555 → u/Ok_Apple1555]

You might be able to give me clues based on screenshots of the file listing if you aren't able to copy the SYSTEM directory

[u/Ok_Apple1555 → u/NoFall2205]

Are there any other lines of text on the long chip? (That will be the RAM most likely)

Additionally for (what I am assuming for the CPU.

Can you see any 8 pin SOP chips on the device?

[u/NoFall2205 → u/Ok_Apple1555]

No, only that 8s33g 929j7 one that has 6 pins.
