As you say, it is not exactly what I would like.
I guess it is good enough though, thank you!

I am using .mgl's as a shortcut to games.

Is it possible to set CPU/PPU to PAL or NTSC via an option in the .mgl so that I don't have to do it manually each time?

chimaera

Thank you for posting these filters, i am currently using some of them as default in a couple of my cores!

chimaera

I think I actually solved it.

qsound.zip needs to be in the same folder as the games, effectively games/mame.

I am also getting all black screens on the CPS2 games. I updated through the update_all script with beta on

I've been playing Akumajou Dracula on the X68000-JT51 core (date 20.09.13) and i've run into a bug with the core. With start at stage 13/14, the GAME OVER screen gets superimposed over the gameplay area (see attached photos). This hides parts of the background tiles, but sprites seems unaffected. This makes this level extremely hard :) Another part...

I have this cable:
https://retro-access.com/products/mister-io-scart

No special ini settings except for vga video settings and sound works perfectly.

If you get picture on your crt, you should get sound if the sound part of the cable is connected to 3.5mm audio output on the io board.

I'll second Castle of Winds and add:
Sim Tower
Civilisation
Shadowgate

chimaera

check the header in Mesen or other ines header software and change to the correct mapper.
If the mapper is not supported, you can always request it here: https://misterfpga.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=5

To change the actual mapper of a NES game, you'll need some serious 6502 assembler knowledge

chimaera

Check out the MiSTer NES core page for supported mappers: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/NES_MiSTer
Use this page to see what games have what mapper: https://nesdir.github.io/

chimaera

no limit, if it doesn't process the .nes file, then its probably already ines2, a bad dump or not in the list

Just Open it in notepad.exe in windows or the corresponding texteditor if you use Another OS.

For my iNES2 header converter setup, I have nes20db.xml, nes_header_repair.py, .nes roms and iNES2CONVERT.bat in the same directory. The .BAT contains this line: c:\Python39\python.exe nes_header_repair.py change c:\Python39\python.exe to the correct location for your setup nes_header_repair.py needs to be edited change this code: TRIAL_RUN = 1 to ...

Just open the file in a text editor and search. iNES header entries looks like this: <game> <prgrom size="16384" crc32="D3D248C9" sha1="64185EDC4FD64B5F5E565B90B0DDC241592D899C" sum16="0339" /> <chrrom size="8192" crc32="9C124A53" sha1="...

JWDog wrote: ↑Sat Feb 27, 2021 9:03 pm Thanks. It is strange because the rom in the folder is .nes. do you think it could have problems if the rom is a japanese famicom rom?

It works with .nes roms from all regions, if they are in the iNES2 .xml list.
I don't really know why you get that problem though..

chimaera

I have the Japanese Famicom Commando cart, Senjou no Ookami, and it seems to exhibit the same weird glitches on a real console.

chimaera

Use kitrinx NES header repair https://github.com/Kitrinx/NES_Header_Repair with the INES header db http://forums.nesdev.com/viewtopic.php? ... pt#p248905 to make your nes headers up to date

So it was crappy mapper calls then.

Can confirm that the translation of Shinden now works both on MiSTer and NT Mini Noir with this patch, great work paulbnl!

chimaera

I don't think you'll have to worry about official games that has been checked against redump .dat, my jap Rondo of Blood works perfectly with sound and speach in .chd format.
Fanpatches or hacks was sometimes applied to bad rips, and some rips floating around the internet seems to be bad.

chimaera

I was refering to the hacked ROM ofc. Anyways, MMC1 doesnt care about the INES mirroring bit. The original Shinsenden ROM is actually also Vertical Mirroring, atleast at bootup. At MMC1 initialization, the game sets mirroring to vertical, PRG fixed bank at $C000 + 16kb Switch bank at $8000 and CHR bank mode to 2 seperate 4kb banks by writing bits 1...

chimaera

I put my .chd files like this:
MegaCD\Japan\game.chd
MegaCD\Japan\game2.chd
MegaCD\Japan\bios.rom
MegaCD\Europe\... same as above
MegaCD\USA\... same as above

And it works perfectly.

chimaera

The game is a MMC1 game with a 512k PRG ROM which should mean that the PCB is a SOROM, SUROM or SXROM. Those boards used the upper CHR Select bit on the mmc1 to select Adressline 18 om the PRG ROM (which allows access to the other half of the PRG ROM).

It could potentially be an issue with the ines header if it isnt configured correctly.

chimaera

I checked the size of the translated ROM and it seems correct (513K) = HEX 8000F including header 16 bytes (7FFFF without). I tried the ROM on my Analogue NT Mini Noir and it also freezes at the first intro dialogue box. My guess would be that the translation relies on specific emulator behaviour, and thus doesn't work on real hardware. EDIT: check...

Super Mario All-Stars NES does indeed work with that header, thanks.

its been fixed just no rfb released since its been fixed

OK, thanks for the info. I'll just wait for the release then.

chimaera

*SOLVED* works in the latest NES core update 201102 Has anyone got an INES 2.0 header that makes this game work or is it not supported? It is an MMC5 EWROM with 1024kB PRG + 1024kB CHR and 32kB saveram. The same applies to Infidelitys' hack Super Mario All-Stars NES which also doesn't work. The header info from INES 2.0 db from nesdev contains thes...

Confirmed that there is a path character limit in IMGSET.EXE. I moved IMGSET.EXE ide10 "/CDs/TOSEC/Beneath a Steel Sky (USA) (En,Fr,De,Es,It,Pt,Sv) (Rerelease)/Beneath a Steel Sky (USA) (En,Fr,De,Es,It,Pt,Sv) (Rerelease).cue" to: IMGSET.EXE ide10 "/CDs/TOSEC/Beneath a Steel Sky (USA) (En,Fr,De,Es,It,Pt,Sv) (Rerelease).cue" and i...

chimaera

yeah that is a crazy path. Could be the !, could be the length, could be something inside the cue that isn't referencing the iso/bin correctly. The CD images are verified with the TOSEC IBM-PC CDROM .dat and they work if loaded manually, but not through IMGSET.EXE. The .cue are from the TOSEC .cue .zip collection from their site so they are correc...

If your iso or cue has spaces in the name use "
Like this
imgset IDE10 "cds/Leisure Suit Larry Ultimate Pleasure Pack - Larry 7 (Sierra) (1999).iso"

Yeah that worked, thanks!
