Re: Introducing the VeriSNES (FPGA-based SNES)

Now if you could somehow design a drop-in replacement motherboard for the original SNES case that runs your code and offer it as a reward for a kickstarter at a price roughly around $100, you'd probably have to think about the $2 and $3 million stretch goals. Because let's be honest a pure source co...

Re: Need help dumping SA1 Chip games

Yes all you really need is an Arduino Mega, a SNES cart slot and some wires. But you also need to connect an SD card somehow like wiring a mircoSD adapter to the Arduino. https://abload.de/img/img_2815n7u3g.jpg Then you change the code like this: // If you don't have an OLED screen change // enable_...

Re: Need help dumping SA1 Chip games

You can find the latest version here: https://github.com/sanni/cartreader
Includes all the source code and pcb files. There is also a pinout in case you want to hand wire it.

Re: 100 PAL games held up in USPS for 1 1/2 months; any idea

So did the sender contact DHL? Because there is no contract between the recipient and USPS. Therefore USPS will just ignore the recipient since he is not their customer. The sender needs to go here: https://www.dhl.de/en/paket/hilfe-kundenservice/sendung/nachforschungsauftrag_international.html Also...

Re: Strange issue with PIC16F630 and SuperCIC

There is a similar thread in a german message board about the snesCIC and the PIC 12F629. I had the issue that a SFC with several different snesCIC/PIC12F629s would boot everything but SA1 games and only after replacing it with a superCIC/PIC16F630 the SA1 booted fine while the same snesCIC/PIC12F62...

Re: Found a SNES LoROM board design

Me personally I can't understand why people still use very old and used Eproms when you can get new old stock factory sealed 29F032 4MB 5V flashroms on ebay from time to time(just buy bulk when they become available) that can be programmed with nothing more than an Arduino. Sure best case scenario w...

Re: Need help dumping SA1 Chip games

Book2 of the Snes Dev Manual speaks alot about the different SA1 registers but even with all that knowledge I wasn't able to make /WE of the sram go high. One interesting part in there was that by default the SA1 cpu is in some sort of sleep mode and first needs to be woken up. I wonder if maybe th...

Re: Need help dumping SA1 Chip games

If I understand this correctly there is a register that controls if the SNES CPU (which would be the Arduino) access to the Sram, so we would need to write something to this register first. 2224h SNES BMAPS 00h SNES CPU BW-RAM Mapping to 6000h-7FFFh (W) 2225h SA-1 BMAP 00h SA-1 CPU BW-RAM Mapping to...

Re: Need help dumping SA1 Chip games

Thanks alot :D So set the master clock(pin 1) to 21Mhz, don't output a clock to Sys Clock(pin 57), output 3Mhz to Cic Clock, output a low signal to refresh(pin 33) and high to reset(pin 26). And also make sure you got a stable power supply or at least a strong USB port. Pushed the changes to the git...

Re: Need help dumping SA1 Chip games

Does anyone know how to read/write Sram from/to SA-1 games?
