Well, it's running fine on my GBAMP, and a little smoother than before!

Definatly worth a download if you want to fire up some good old sonic again!

When my Opera arrives, I may give that RAM trick a go...

It's a bit of bonus ram for the emu to run with, if you're using a slot1 card, like an M3 Simply.

in the same way that the ram support was mentioned for the SCCF, does that extent to the other Supercard slot2's?

The genesis rom I tried is made up of 6 seperate bin files. I select one of them and nothing happens, just says rom loaded, and rom size zero. Anyway to get around this?

EDIT: I'm assuming those roms are different dumps of the game. I'm trying mortal kombat to no avail. I can browse to them no problem, and my windows emulator works fine, nothing will actually load up and run on my supercarddsone.

For header info, there's simply a smiley face that shows up lol, c'mon what's going on.

Any help appreciated

If you really want to play SNES games on your DS, then learn coding and help them out. There's no reason for you to be so ungrateful for the hard work they have already done. If you want to make a difference, go out and do it. Don't sit and complain about how other people aren't working hard enough. People have lives too.

As far as "no visible difference," you must not understand the point of changelogs. How about the fact that Chrono Trigger now runs in SnezziDS when it didn't before? That alone is a big enough change from v0.25 to v0.28a. How about the fact that SnezziDS no longer crashes after 20 minutes of gameplay? That many games are now playable that weren't before? I really don't understand why you think that there's no difference. Even with PicoDriveDS here, the DLDI support is huge news, as now almost all homebrew devices are supported. It's a major change. Be glad that they're still working on it at least.

lol, how does the asshole warrant a response when a grateful user having difficulty getting his roms to work is left hung to dry?

EDIT: Ok, this emulator is very nice, thank you very much for developing it. I would have to conclude that since the mortal kombat bin size is greater than 4 mb and i have no slot 2 memory, that this game will not run. But streeth fighter at 2 mb works nicely. I think it'd be a plus though if the top two buttons (R and L) were punching or kicking, as opposed to have to push the start button to switch the aby buttons from kicking to punching. But regardless, excellent job.
