Emulates a SmartMedia 4MB 5V card. There is no SmartMedia memory chip inside: a small processor answers the SP-202 exactly as an original card would, and keeps your data in its own memory. Its software, the firmware, can be updated from your computer. SmartMare 5V is made and sold for the BOSS SP-202.

SmartMare 5V is made for the BOSS SP-202 Dr. Sample, and tested with it: it formats, saves and loads like an original card, and adds a sample loader. Other gear with a 5V SmartMedia slot takes the same kind of card, but SmartMare 5V is not tested in it yet, so we do not sell it for that gear.

€89 in Europe, $99 in the USA, delivered, with the SP-202 firmware installed. Both firmwares are free on the downloads page, and you can switch as often as you like. SmartMare 5V is sold for the BOSS SP-202 only.
The same card, whatever the firmware. In the slot, it has the size, thickness, notch and 22 contacts of a SmartMedia card. It keeps its 37 mm width all along; the part that stays outside carries the electronics and the USB-C port.
Any gear that takes SmartMedia 4MB 5V cards takes SmartMare 5V. It is just longer than a regular card: 38 mm stay outside the slot, so on a camera the card door may not close.
What the card does today is a start.
The firmware, both card managers, and the notes on the card and on the SP-202's sound format. The source code will be published.
Switch firmware or install an update from the card manager, in your browser. No button to press, nothing to install.
