Satiator - new cartridge patch idea

[xhul]

Welcome =]

As some of you already know, the Satiator can't boot if a cartridge with boot ROM (Action Replay, etc.) is plugged in.
To my knowledge, there are currently 2 firmwares that solve that problem:
- Pseudo Saturn Kai
- patched Action Replay Plus 2.02

The second solution has a significant issue that has never been really fixed, which is that adding|editing cheat entries eventually corrupts the firmware.
Additionally, that specific firmware (even without the patch) has pretty reduced hardware compatibility.

Long story short, i thought it would be cool to have a safe alternative to Pseudo Saturn Kai.
I'm currently in the process of adapting the patch to another firmware called Super Unlimit Saturn 2.06, which basically has the same features as ARP 2.02, but is way more universal.
Also, no more corruption issue, since the patch can easily be injected in the firmware code area this time.

So here i am, looking for a tester that has:
- a satiator
- a cartridge with 256|512K boot ROM (AR, all-in-one, whatever)
- enough knowledge to flash a cartridge firmware
Anybody up to it?

Aight, the patched SUS 2.06 firmware is ready.
I was only able to test it without a Satiator of course, but at least the normal boot from the cartridge works perfectly, as well as all the firmware features, which is a very good sign.
The only thing left is to test if the boot from Satiator is properly handled, as well as the "force boot from cartridge" feature when holding [A].
