Just wanted to post that the creator of FZVS has re-uploaded the source code (after 9 years!):

Here's the dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/id7afnv12i9yp ... 9.rar?dl=0

Looks good, too bad you're saying it can't work. If you need any info definitely check out CatadorDeLatas's F-zero Notes Document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yhZrwn7Mq8WL83YWzSFIKB4mHWEC84TXpvRU2_Pb7lE/edit?usp=sharing . He's done a lot of work to map out pretty much the whole game. Tons of...

Hey qwertymodo, I don't know enough to help with the technical stuff, but I did find this. A user named Ladida made an example MSU-1 Video over at SMWCentral. The ASM is included in the download and might be able to help you out. https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=viewthread&t=73363 Maybe you could u...

I've been looking around, and most emulators seem to have no way of telling that the ROM is meant to run with a DSP-1, rather than a DSP-1b or a DSP-2..... As for flash cartridges, I haven't tried any, but I imagine that the sd2snes and Super EverDrive with DSP module would have the same problem. I...

Unfortunately he joined over 7 years ago and only posted three times. Doesn't even show when his last visit was since it was so long ago.

Hey all, just wanted to post some information on F-Zero VS, the server-based multiplayer version of SNES F-Zero. Basically what FZVS is for those who don't know is a 4-player multiplayer version of SNES F-Zero that uses a modified version of snes9x to allow people to connect via a server. The author...

This patch is pretty cool. Too bad about the parallax issues at the bottom of the screen. Also, it's kind of weird not having the life bar/clock at the very top of the screen.

I can't help you with the technical stuff, but I do know of one more rom that uses ExLoRom. That would be the hack Zelda 3 IQ Test, http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/2575/.

Got some good news everyone. I've finally gotten a working version of Tetris that save high scores working on real hardware! So when I read that Capaneus got a Type 09 version to save on his Everdrive GB it made me wonder what I was doing wrong. So I decided to try again. Seems it has been working t...

Hey guys, I am Capaneus on the romhacking forum, the guy who started working on this a couple of years ago, and unfortunately got sidetracked by other projects/life. Coincidentally, I thought about this a couple of days ago and found this thread. First, I thought I'd do a little more experimentatio...

The code I wrote checks if the string TETRIS is present at the start of the SRAM memory space. It's very unlikely that this memory would say TETRIS by random chance, so this is taken to mean that the data is valid. I guess what I'm trying to ask is what happens if the TETRIS string is not found (th...

Thank you for the link lidnariq. Looks detailed and just what I need to read up on.

The point of the ASM you're referring to is to unlock the SRAM so it can be accessed. Unlocking SRAM does not clear SRAM. The point of checking for validity of SRAM is to make sure that the highscore list doesn't contain garbage when starting up for the first time. Thank you for the explanation. Af...

Well, if you're using an Everdrive GB you can also manually initialize the save RAM separately (as you did) The common way to solve this problem is to use some kind of flag in RAM, maybe the string "Save RAM has been initialized". It won't arise randomly, so you can be confident that if t...

Thanks lidnariq! I attempted to do everything, but am having some problems. I changed the rom cartridge type info at hex 0147 and 0149 and this worked except that when I load it into bgb I get an error message that says: "Header checksum fails. ROM checksum fails. This rom would not work on a r...
