That's interesting becuase it's saving my progress with an 8KB SRAM. I'm not sure how it's doing that though if the SRAM size is 32KB.

I've considered building it before, but I decided not to because I didn't have a parallel port to use with it. Recently though, I bought an old Thinkpad 560 that has a parallel port and could interface to the cart reader. If you're interested in building it and have the know how, I would be intrigue...

I'd like to confirm that Mottzilla's BS Zelda works with the new mappers. :) I bet that other variants will work as well, but I've not tested them extensively. EDIT: Just finished testing BS The Legend of Zelda Ancient Stone Tablets week 1 with the latest mappers. To get saving working, you'll need ...

I remember reading about this before. It looks like a neat project. If you simply just want to read and write to your carts SRAM, you can try looking here: www.retrode.com The retrode lets you play your SNES and Genesis carts on your PC. With the SNES feature, you can have your emulator save directl...

Ah, my mistake. That makes sense. It was late and I didn't pay attention to my statement. ROM is read only so it can't be changed. Thanks for the clarification.

I want to confirm that my SanDisk Ultra II 2.0GB (formatted to FAT) and Lexar 4GB Platinum II 80X (formatted to FAT32 and DMA=0) work with the 1.03 update. I also have a SanDisk Extreme III 4GB 30MB/s card, but it doesn't work with FAT or FAT32 formatting. That's not a huge issue though. Prior to th...

Thank you so much for this update. Now my SNES Powerpak works! Couldn't be happier!

Ok, so I got a new Sandisk Extreme III 4GB 30MB/s card but I get a different error when trying to boot. It says
Error CF sectors left = 01
Error $01 - CF card error

I have a full size SNES that was bundled with Super Mario World when brand new. I'm pretty sure that it's not my SNES, but rather my compact flash card. What compact flash card would you recommend getting? I probably should have just ordered a compact flash card with the PowerPak, but oh well.

When I boot the card, it says I have 1.02. However, I get a DSP1 not installed message and an SDRAM error message. I read that this could be caused by my system configuration, but it could also be from an incompatible compact flash card. I have a Sandisk Ultra II 2.0GB compact flash card, but I'd be...

Good to hear about yours shipping with 1.01. Depending on when 1.02 was released, my cart may have that flashed into the BIOS already. I will post the version number tomorrow.

My SNES PowerPak just arrived today in the mail and I am waiting until I return to school to test it. I was getting stuff ready to copy over to my compact flash card and it appears as though the latest SNES PowerPak bootrom isn't available for download. The link exists, but it just redirects to the ...

Nether, its not gonna happen. I suppose for the very small number of games requiring the SuperFX chip, it wouldn't be a very cost effective addon/addition to implement. I'm very happy with DSP 1 support though. For the SPC playback, I wouldn't think it would be too hard to make work. It would just ...

I agree with the spc music playback. That would be a great feature. Also, if co-processors like the SuperFX require a bigger FPGA, would that mean there would be a new hardware revision to the SNES PowerPak in the future? Or would it be an addon to the original hardware release?

You should be able to convert the saves from Game Doctor or Super Wild Card to work the the SNES PowerPak using ucon64. Also, if I remember correctly, I think that emulator saves will work without modification with the SNES PowerPak. I just ordered a SNES PowerPak yesterday so I will confirm my sugg...
