Peter, Did you get it to work alright eventually? Many people that write to me and still have problems, eventually track it down to a failing RAM segment in their copier. So another test is to try running the file on a SNES emulator that supports GD3 file format (as far as I know, the only one that ...

i'd recommend someone submit it to rhdn Because of the very specific format it needs to be in, I just left it as a rom. If you make it into a patch, you'll essentially just get the entire rom in a "patch format" ... which seems like a somewhat silly exercise. However, if that makes it app...

The file is already in GD3 format (after decompressing from the RAR file of course). Split it into floppies if you wish, but don't ask progams to convert it or do any involved manipulations as they probably don't know how to handle the cartridge map that I used.

And strictly speaking, the data in the ROM does not matter. It doesn't matter that Nintendo enforced a set of rules. It's still data. If you modify that data and replace the ROM chips, it will still run. Hardware doesn't look at it, and it sucks to me that emulators do. I like the alternative idea ...

Re: New website layout; long, ranty political reflections

Many many people complain about policies being wrong, feel their position is obvious, and are confused why people can't just see the 'big picture'. I've seen very heartfelt pleas to "reasonableness" from many different views as I'm sure all of you have as well. So what is the problem here?...

TribalTap is now proven to be a fraud

It has come up several times: Do any games actually have 6player play supported by this device? There are all kinds of rumors, and it is like trying to disprove Santa exists... no one can find a game that supports it, but the rumor persists. Furthermore, despite exhaustive testing, it appears imposs...
