I don't know how to compile :') And also if i did what do i need to do with the file that i compiled? Put it in the SD2SNES directory?
Anything to do with the BS-X? I've ran into some problems doing gameplay videos for Stone Age Gamer. Some of the games give an error message in the BS-X BIOS. I know the English translations of Zelda won't work on the unit(unless it's the real hardware hack) and the Third and Fourth Quest hacked roms don't work. The only English translated ones I got to work so far were BS Radical Dreamers and the BS Zelda games hacked for real hardware. Everything else seems fine. But, the BS-X had some issues. Figured I let you know as we are all working together on this cart(early adopters and programmers alike) to make it better.
Again ... you don't have to compile anything. There is a ready-to-burn HEX-File. You have to burn a Pic an mod your snes: http://www.snes-projects.de/forum/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=1999 It's not a sd2snes-function!
Here is a playlist I did of videos for the SD2SNES: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3BF85A0AF6B11DB2
Many of these issues have nothing to do with the SD2SNES though. For one thing, it goes without saying that hacks have not been tested on original hardware. For another, some Satellaview games were dependent on an actual broadcast signal when you played, and without some pretty hardcore hacks (again, tested on actual hardware), they will not be playable.
"My sd2snes arrived, but I was having some issues and was wondering if someone had some input? I am getting strange graphical errors sporadically, but other times it works just fine. http://i.imgur.com/03Wsf.jpg http://i.imgur.com/KZNLY.jpg http://i.imgur.com/wjS28.jpg http://i.imgur.com/uy8wg.jpg And there are a few games that won't work at all like: Earthworm Jim Mario Kart Killer Instict I have a 4GB PNY SD card. Is this probably the issue? I ordered one of the ones confirmed to work on the sd2snes project site but it won't be here for another few days. The ROMs are unheadered Any input would be appreciated. I'm loving this fine piece of engineering though. " This didn't fix the issue. I suppose it may be the pin connectors, because the problem can be fixed by re-seating the cartridge. I ruled out the SD card. I'll try to find another console to try it in, but are there any other things it could be?
PNY is not a high quality brand name so I would recommend trying a different brand. I forgot which card I have in mine right now. I think I put a Kingston 8GB made in Taiwan Class 4 MicroSDHC with adapter in it and it works fine (either that or I put a Patriot in it which also is analagous to PNY which I would not recommend however the Patriot I have works fine in N64 flash cart devices) As far as I am aware, the sd2snes is running the ROM directly from the SD card and from the photos you provided, it looks like all of the ROMs are corrupt. I would assume that the SD card is at fault. SD cards generally work fine in a PC even if they are low grade but they tend to have issues in these types of "project" devices (including Nintendo DS MicroSD based devices). I would question your testing method that verified that the PNY card is adequate for the sd2snes. Try to run Crystalmark on it and see if it matches up to its speed rating. At least that would be a good start. I also used to copy ROMs to MicroSD cards and then run a fc /b file compare in command line to verify that the data was ok. From now on I am primarily using Kingston flash memory. I just got a 16GB card in for 9 bucks and it is genuine. I believe I could fill that with the entire set of ROMs and have no issues. There probably are going to be QC issues with these cards though because, as they say, you get what you paid for. Not always but usually if you buy from a large store like amazon or fry's, and they offer the same brand and same size of memory chip but at different prices, the more expensive one will tend to be a higher grade (or just faster speed) which makes me wary of Taiwan vs Japan made SD medium. But normally the cheaper ones will be from China or Taiwan and the ones that cost a few (or 10 or 20) bucks more will probably be from Japan and offer a much higher QC than their other Asian counterpart. I'm also experiencing problems with Kirby Superstar which is an entirely different issue since now I am talking about a stand alone legit cartridge (and sd2snes does not support this ROM so don't read into this too heavily). Its edge connector is clean as a pin but I am getting a little bit of graphics corruption in sprites and I am starting to think that I need to clean the connector inside the deck. It doesn't make sense though because the sd2snes works 100% fine and I have even completed Donkey Kong Country 50% all the way through the game with absolutely ZERO graphics issues and DKC games can be finnicky due to in house Rare copy protection and that they are all 32Mbit in size. I have seen issues running DKC through parallel port on some SWC DX copiers which may be a cabling issue there but I have competely gone off topic now. Anyway I would recommend trying a genuine Kingston or comperable or higher quality SD and cleaning the connection inside the deck. If that doesn't work I would believe that something went wrong when building the sd2snes cart. I am of belief that there will be some defects as in any product that exists, there always has to be at least a small percentage of defects in any device that gets produced whether it be from a large factory or a very small in house one. It is just the very nature of products as a whole.
As far as I know, ROMs are copied from the SD card to the SDRAM (I believe its SDRAM instead of flash memory, since its so quick) in the SD2SNES. The only ROMs that stream data from the SD card are MSU-1 ROMs. The SD card should really only be an issue if you're playing MSU-1 games with a card that doesn't meet the performance requirements. He also said the issue was resolved by reseating the cartridge. Seems to me like its most likely an issue with the socket in the SNES, since he said he tried cleaning the edge connector on the cart.
I use PNY almost exclusively on all Deluxe and I have rarely ever had any problems with them. Actually the reason I use PNY is because I have actually had more problems with other brands that people consider better than PNY. I have tested 4GB, 16GB, and 32GB PNY on SD2SNES without issue. I have also tested 64GB SanDisk on SD2SNES without problem. The weird thing about all these different brands is I really wonder how different they are. I get SanDisk and some say made in Japan and some say made in China. Sometimes I wonder if many of these different brands just come from the same factory. Most likely if a SD card isn't working is not because of quality, but just because its bad. Period. The "top of the line" manufacturers make bad SD cards as well. That's not to say there isn't a difference, but I think some people buy too much into these SD card quality stuff. I am just giving my experience with PNY, maybe others have had bad experiences with them, I don't know. Out of the hundreds of Deluxe I have sold I have had only a couple customers say their PNY cards were bad and I believe they all came from the same batch because they were all pretty close together. Just to be clear before someone flips out, I am not saying PNY is better than any brands. This is just my experience with them. I know there are some SD card brand loyalists on this site who will want to argue about SD cards. I am not interested. (this isn't directed at you amptor)
Hi everyone. My sd2snes arrived, but i need the following files in order to support dsp games and st0010 games dsp1.bin dsp1b.bin dsp2.bin dsp3.bin dsp4.bin st0010.bin anyone knows where to find these files? Thanks in advance.
I concluded that the issue is indeed not the SD card as the same problems I am having occur with a Sandisk SD card. So the issue must be in a different piece of hardware. I am personally a fan of PNY. Here is some info on SD cards. Maybe we can expand upon it? http://sd2snes.de/blog/card-list
Google search for " bsnes dsp files " and look for a page called, " Filthy Pants: A Computer Blog: Bsnes Special Chips Dumped ". That's probably just one of many ways to find the files. They are probably copyrighted data roms so that is why they aren't provided on official sites.
Unfortunately Johnny, BS-X games are hit and miss, ROM-wise. There are some which will definitely work, they worked on the PowerPak, and others that probably won't. Most of the ones that work, were hacked to do so. So you may have to be sure you're using the right ROMs. And then some of the hacked rom's have header issues. SNES roms, are they a pita or what?
I will say that they don't necessarily have to have been hacked to work. The BS Sutte Hakkun games have not (to my knowledge) been hacked, and they didn't work on the PowerPak, but they do work very nicely on the SD2SNES - I played through the first one in its entirety yesterday, and it is absolutely wonderful - It's so nice to no longer be dependent on SNES9X or bsnes to play them anymore. The real issues are whether gameplay limits were programmed into the game, if they're dependent on a satellite signal, etc.
Hey! This fixes the blargg near-cd-quality audio demo! It also makes all my old *.srm files unusable for some reason. Back to the old firmware for now...
I guess I could try it out on another SD card and look for glitches. It makes me nervous to use it on my current card though, because every time I open a game with saves, it shows a blank file, but it will still save over the old file. Edit: Is there a reason why the non-final release won't detect old save files correctly?
