Hi, Are there any information out there how to burn a CD with roms for the Wildcard DX2 and Diskdual addon? I have currently in my DiskDual one CF-card adapter and one CD-rom, I can read files from both of them but loading results in an error once finished. Both "Error" and "File not found" have appeard. I am not sure I have FAT16 formated the card. I followed a tutorial and formated it in FAT16 on Linux but I can still drag long filenames to the CF-card in Windows. If I format the CF-card in the DiskDual with the format option for HD will it be FAT16 formated? When I attach a CF-card having been formated in the DiskDual it is not recognized by Windows7 at all. Thanks!
FAT16 and long filenames aren't related. Windows 7, and Windows in general, has alot of incompatibility with older software and devices. If possible try connecting the CF card to a PC running Windows 98 or Linux after using the DiskDual to format it. To burn the CD you probably just burn files using the standard ISO restrictions that would make the CD readable under DOS. I'm not sure if you'd have to organize them or name them anything special. But you would have to remember you can't just dump your entire 4000+ SNES ROM collection on a CD-R. You'd have to organize it into folders as the CD File System has a limit on the number of files in the root and in each folder.
Allright, going to try and transfer roms to the CF-card on my Ubuntu fileserver after having it formated on the DiskDual. Have phased out DVD's since 1 year ago so I dont have Nero anymore and free burner apps do not let you control DOS, filename size... -------------- ok, formated card on DiskDual and mounted it on Linux. Win7 fails to find a proper FAT16 formated card (Win7 wants to format the card) but with Linux it worked. Got one rom working, SMW - PAL, but all the rest (about 10) failed to work, either with error or black screen. According to the FAQ its bad dumps or something. I thought this would be a bit more plug and play solution, but I guess once you find a working rom of the game you want it aint going nowhere :-S
Free App that lets you set ISO restrictions - ImgBurn. Google it. What roms did you try that failed? It's possible you tried a mixture of bad roms and roms that don't work on any copier.
I tried Final Fight 2 and 3 (both PAL and NTSC), Final Fight Guy, PuyoPuyo Remix, SmashTV, SoulBlazer and a couple of others, just fairly ordinary games no special chips etc. :033: Oh... And the no 1 mystery of all, the l33t b3ta Starfox 2 translated leaked uber rom I snatched from the net DID NOT WORK!!"!!!! please HELP ME!!! :banghead: j/k :lol:
Burning roms on CD now work ok but as lame as it sounds, I havent figured out how to run roms yet. I have my CD with 10 different roms, they range from Donkey Kong Country 2 to Super Smash TV. All games failed to run, I got a black screen, or I got to see the copyright screen of game and then black screen. Then burned a second CD which I converted all games to Wildcard format with insnest-tool. Now some games did go as far as menu, such as SSF2, but graphics are corrupt and games wont play further than menu. No roms run fine. So what am I missing here? Is there any foolproof way of testing a rom to find out if it will work on copier? When I had a SuperMagicom, that backup unit swallowed anything I threw it (except > 16Mbit roms) so what is the big deal with the DX2? (My SNES is PAL and my DX2 is PAL, I am also running only PAL/Euro roms) ---- Solved it myself, changed CD-rom in the DiskDual and now roms load Ok. I also tested internal mem in the DX2, after that many roms load just fine now!
