Quite a long time ago I had some more SD2IEC boards made up for the C64.
I hadnt really done anything with them and I had promised id make one up for Stiggy.
Today I finally got around to making one up and im pleased to say it seems to work.
The wires need tidied up a bit but it loaded up a game no problem.
And that was the last of my outstanding projects.
Another from the set of Luiskiko
Hard Head bootleg.
All of these are from the daughter board
I wasn’t originally going to write this up but seeing as though I won’t have much time free in a few weeks I thought I might as well.
So, this game would hang at the Q Sound check at startup. After a quick check I found why.
I straightened the pin and the game now works.
Whilst sorting out some CPS2 stuff the other day I found a BGSB3E PAL in a Street Fighter Alpha. I didn’t have this in my list so dumped it. It was actually unprotected so its a proper dump and has been converted for use on a GAL16V8 device and tested.
Also, whilst looking into a potential bad dump (turned out to be fine!), I found 2 other PAL’s in a Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo board They are found on the daughter board and are labelled:
BGSG1 and BGSG2.
BGSG1 is linked to the sound, without it it plays some SFX choppy and the music is a mess
BGSG2 is graphics related and gives jailbars and messed up sprite priority when removed.
Both are dumped and have been tested.
Ive been developing BINman a little more and some others have let me know they are using it too which is nice.
Here is an updated version (v1.6)
The layout has changed a bit to remove any clutter that would be caused by adding new features. Its now all operated by the menu bar.
It can now:
>split a file in to 2, 4 or 8 smaller files. These files are named “file#” where # is the sequential number of files generated.
>swap the upper and lower half of a file
>combine 2 files together
