How this would be a good idea? Yeah it's interesting and may work okay (What emulator has an internal database of checksums again?) None? Why do you think I'm proposing it? What emulator guarantees correct mappings for downloaded games? None. You offloaded that responsibility to rom site morons who...

I've spend the last few months on a format that would make virgin data playable by way of emulator-side mapper database. Nothing will ever become as popular as iNES 1.0 because it was the first to be good enough, which is how all standards are determined in emulation. But unlike iNES 2.0, I think th...

BTW, are there any SNES CICs other than D411 and D413? I have personally seen the following: D411 (NTSC carts) D411A (NTSC carts) D411B (NTSC carts) D413 (PAL carts) D413A (PAL carts) D413B (PAL carts) F411A (NTSC carts with SuperFX, OBC1, maybe others) F413A (PAL carts with SuperFX, OBC1, maybe ot...

A bit off-topic, but my Mash-Mods programmer won't dump Street Fighter Zero 2 (and I can only assume that Alpha 2 would be the same). It autodetects LoROM and dumps 1024KB unless you change the flags, and absolutely nothing I've tried has given me a working dump. It is an S-DD1 special chip game. I...

Thanks, but I already have a mash-mods programmer than can dump SNES games. The reason I ask is because I'm interested in an n64 usb dumper, and if the SNES myth can do it, then the similarly designed n64 myth should as well.

Is this capable of dumping carts to the PC? Via that slot on the back?

bunny, as someone who has bought multiple flash carts and used lots of emulators, I recommend testing sram save/load behavior on large lorom games like "Ys III" and "Umihara Kawase". Most beginner SNES mapper detection schemes fail to accommodate their mapper types.

Very interesting, I've documented lots of SNES serials and never knew an HKG existed. Can you open the cart and tell me the ROM serial? I'd suspect it says SNS-YI-0, the American ROM.

In case anyone missed it, the latest bsnes version has added limited support for the ST011 and ST018 chips. If anyone wants to look at the progress and possibly help improve them, take a look at the source.

Is your question on how to add a copier header or change the filename? I get confused because emulators will recognize a copier extension like SMC, but don't care if it's in the proper ROM+(SMC)Header format for which the extension was created to denote. You can add an empty header with NSRT.

You rename them.

Or because we'd like to create a SNES game pushing the hardware to hard limit allowing mode 7 style effects on sprites, and large background 2D or 3D effects. Yeah, SNES homebrew is about to take off any minute now. Aaaaany minute now.... There are far friendlier platforms for creators to work with...

Why is half of this thread about a hypothetical SuperFX flash cart? As if it's even practical or desirable. You're seriously going to need emulation or the actual cart for the myriad of SNES special chip games. The only possible purpose one would have is if it could help someone improve the emulatio...

GBA and DS emulators use .sav files, which are headerless files that contain the data on the emulated cart's flash or SRAM. I believe .sav was used over .srm because a lot of GBA games have serial EEPROM, parallel flash, or FeRAM instead of actual SRAM, and all DS games have EEPROM or flash over an...

Im glad it came so quick! And thanks for the review. No problem, I hope you get lots of sales. Rubber feet and offering a USB cable are good ideas. No problem. The feet should be a pretty cheap addition for future production runs. Hopefully you can find some that are small enough to clear the botto...
