Hi cafe-alpha! Nice to read you here!
So far, I haven't found any other game that doesn't boot even after patching, the Kai version fixed the aforementioned four cases I detected with v0.832. In case a new one shows up, I'll let you know, of course!
Thank you for the good news :]
I just made some improvements on the loader, without minding a lot about compatibility, so I'm surprised everything is compatible from the first public release.
NICE!!! Glad that you were able to figure it out quickly
I'm becoming used to fix Pseudo Saturn Kai bugs
Another thing I just noticed looking at my own images again, was the year on the date field in description:
it shows 2157
It's probably the game itself that set incorrect time stamp : do you confirm date for other saves are correct ?
Also, I probably need to fix comment display for "SONIC_WINGS" and "TWINB_YAHHO" saves : can you take a pictures of theses saves when selected on my Save Data Manager (I would like to know their language code) ?
And do you confirm the comment for theses two saves is displayed in katakana in Saturn's internal save data manager ?
I would like to test it too, if you send me via PM I will re-flash m ARP as soon as I can! Do I need to test again the games I have already tried?
As bugfixes concern Save Data Manager (= application different from firmware), there's no need to re-verify game compatibility.
I will first verify what's wrong with "SONIC_WINGS" and "TWINB_YAHHO" saves comment display, and let you know when beta will be available
I confirm! the size of the iso doesn't matter with this method mentioned by @HazukiRyo I you want, I can make a more elaborate video tutorial on this, and you could link somewhere on the site to help swap trick users ^^
No need to stuff iso ? Great, that's one thing less to do on my side
Video about swap trick is more than welcome ! I would be glad to link it on my homepage :]
Yeah.... it's been a long time that I can't find time to learn a new song to play on my Keyboard '-'
someday I plan on learning C and Java... but as of now I can fulfill my workplace needs with VB (Visual Basic) :S
Finding free time is a difficult task
I messed a little with some hex editors, and I just discovered that my Rayman ISO is indeed bad! I made a bin/cue rip of my burned disk and Its missing the saturn header:
Tryed playing this burned disk via swap trick and it din't work! it just goes to multi plaer screen
Comparing that with a Good ISO:
the good news is that I figured how to fix any BAD ISO from *paradize site!
I've been trying to fix because every iso from that crappy game "Planet Joker" that i find is broken... but I need this game if I want to have a Complete Shmup set for the Saturn
Check how I did below!
I confirm that copying first half of the IP header from a valid game will do the job.
(Second half of the IP header, after game title shouldn't be modified, since it contains start address information, variable from a game to another.)
