Help !!! with powerpak Nintendo world championships!

Post by alienform »

Ok ! here is my 4th time i post this question but have been treated like crap for posting on the wrong section. I NEED a way to have the correct time on my powerpak for N W C on the powerpak. I want to know if anyone can help me with this pleeeeease !!!!

i have been told that emulation section is not were to post this!! please help me. I always thought that using a ROM on the POWERPAK is emulation but what the hell do i know. Guess its hardware. I HOPE I dont get kicked off. Iam new and love this place and have recommended it to 20 other people. Anyone please respond.

Need, or just want? Are you prepared to offer a bounty over PayPal to the first person to get this working? ;-)

But seriously, perhaps nobody who regularly posts to the forum knows the answer.

Well I bet bunnyboy hacked it to do this for his reproduction without dipswitches. (before he switched to dipswitches) But ya Tepples is right. You're probably gonna have to do it yourself.

A hex editor to change the rom. Then an emulator to find out WHAT in the rom to change. ( a document with the mapper details would probably be good to)

Correct contest time of 6:21 (NTSC) is already hard coded into the mapper hardware, no hacking needed.

Are you talking about using it in the Powerpak bunnyboy?

I own the reproduction cartridge ! just want to play whats on my powerpak
and it seems that it's clocked at 5:00 minutes and some +++ seconds have to time it to be sure but iam sure its not 6:21 sec. i could be wrong.

Hey awsome work on the PPACK love it! it's awsome

I think Bunny was saying his cart is already hacked for 6:21, but not the original ROM, which is what you want. I don't believe a simple game genie-like code will cut it (or a similar permanent patch). At least, that's what I've believed to be the case, else someone would likely have hacked the rom by now. I could be wrong, but knowing how fanatical people can be, it seems logical. However, the interwebs aren't always logical.
