Wow, the programming went really fast. My experience @ http://youtu.be/nqoYknU3VK8 Thanks man! Thank you too! Now I know my flasher works perfectly fine on revE, too. No hardware compatibility issues, apparently. :D cool ramsis cant wait to try it out. I cant belive there arnt more people intereste...

Any socketed SST39SF010A users who happen to have a PLCC32 programmer available and would like to try out the flasher, please PM me. As the feedback hasn't exactly been overwhelming, I just decided to put the new flash updater up here for everybody to try out. :) SNES PowerPak flash updater v03 Thi...

Hey Drakon, no idea what's actually wrong with the "stock" SPC player. It never really worked for me either, although I was able to get a few tunes playing (though sometimes only until a song started looping). My release incorporates blargg's SPC player (ported over from sd2snes), which do...

BunnyBoy posted the fixed file up on the NA forums last year; mentioned something about it not being a Hi/Lo Rom issue but rather messy coding losing a couple bank bits. http://www.retrousb.com/downloads/SM.BIN For the record, this file indeed differs greatly from the SM.MAP found in the latest off...

BunnyBoy posted the fixed file up on the NA forums last year; mentioned something about it not being a Hi/Lo Rom issue but rather messy coding losing a couple bank bits. http://www.retrousb.com/downloads/SM.BIN Thanks! :) What's strange is that I've never encountered any problems at all when trying...

Hey, I have a Rev H cart and would like to be able to use the updated firmware. It looks like my chip is soldered in so I don't know if it's possible, though. Thank you so much! :D Looks like your revH has the same type of flash chip installed as most (or all?) revE carts. That's good news because ...

@muckyfingers: Glad to hear that, thanks! :) Hello, first post cuz my snes powerpak is on the way and i would like to put this on. Now i understand the copying the powerpak folder but what about that src folder? Hi snstay, thanks for your interest. "src" = source , which means in that fold...

I just received my SD2SNES today! Congratulations, and welcome to the club! :) Without question, the sd2snes is the unrivalled, top of the line SNES flashcart currently available. ROM loading is lightning-fast, even 32 Mbit games start almost instantly. There's a real time clock built in, which (ap...

As for detecting a software-initiated reset, you need some flag that reliably is one value at power or after a normal reset, and some different value after a software-initiated reset. Yeah, I know. Unfortunately, the current software design is completely incompatible with this approach. I hope you'...

How do you switch SPC music playing? Manual reset by human? PowerPak controls the /RESET line so it can do it? The latter. :) It would be interesting if it remembered that you were playing an SPC so when you press reset/it asserts reset, it restored where you were browsing music, which would also a...

Video of the upgrade procedure, made by a cool guy who helped testing beta 1 (thanks again, pal! ):

(ROM loading issues toward the end are likely card-related, BTW.)

For the brave amongst you, here's my preliminary, tested working but nevertheless TOTALLY BLEEDING-EDGE, SNES PowerPak Flash Updater to try out! :D WARNING !!! ONLY use this ... ... if your SNES PowerPak has a SOCKETED (i.e., externally reprogrammable) AT29C010A type of flash ROM chip! ... with your...

Thanks, guys. :) I'm happy to announce that the automatic v1.0X updater for PowerPaks with the AT29C010A chip is practically finished. I successfully completed and tested the code this evening, first using v1.02 and then v1.03b1 (which my unofficial release is based upon) as a base. Takes hardly thr...

Either way, is there a chance for some sort of "autoexec" feature in the firmware so that future upgrades can be stored on CF? Sorry, no news on self-flashing so far. :( As mentioned earlier , I didn't get far with preliminary tests. I'd love to try with a newer revision (where a write li...

I have a revD (8/9/09) with what appears to be a socketed firmware chip. Will I have to buy my own programmer to upgrade, or will pre-programmed chips be available once this is done? Thanks for reporting! :) At the current time, I'm afraid you'll have to either buy a programmer or find someone to r...
