SuperGrafx and Chip8 Roms Not Loading

Unread post by steamybeast »

Hello all,

I'm a bit of a newb with this but I am having trouble getting CHIP8 and SuperGrafx roms. When I go into the folders no ROMs are present.

I'm trying to get the 5 exclusive SuperGrafx Roms to work but notice that the mister is looking for a file extension .sgx Mine Supergrafx roms have .pce. I tried changing extension manually but it didn't work.

Chip8 roms are in CHIP8 folder. They have file extension CH8 but can't be found anywhere.

Any help would be appreciated.

Is there an easy way to get computer cores working on my CRT, like I have done with the Console and Arcade cores?

Thanks in advance.

Are your Chip8 roms in /media/fat/games/Chip8?

Did you run the update_all script to make sure you have the required bios?

You do need the correct rom files with the .sgx extension.
Do not remember where i found mine but i also remember it was not hard.

You can also download SpaceAva 201 that do make use of the supergrafx hardware and too test if it is using supergrafx/arcade card the title screen is different for each.
