Heres a new product just released by Neoflash and for fans of the Super Nintendo aka Snes a Dream product.

A Little about the reviewer

Ive been an emulation and homebrew fan for as many years as i can remember (since around 1996 i think) but nothing i repeat nothing is better than playing on the real hardware.

Back in the Megadrive(genesis) and Snes days i owned a Super Wild Card and a Super Double Pro fighter, both cost about 300 pounds and ill admit that it was a great way to play games that i would never have been able to afford or because of stupid region lockouts.

So the day when Neoflash announced they were working on a Flash Cart for the Snes called NEO SNES/SFC Myth cart , i wanted one so badly, the chance to relive the best of the Snes and to play games ive never played was too much of a thrill to behold.

Now i must point out that being a webmaster of a homebrew site makes me no expert, im just as clueless as most newcomers, i like websites and i like posting news, i like to know that if i need a certain release i should be able to find it on my sites (hopefully :P).

First off Heres some screens of the Snes Flash Cart in and out its Packaging:

Getting Started

The Snes Flash Cart needs the latest software/drivers to make it work, so first off head on over to the Neoflash Forum to download the latest version of the software, once youve downloaded it (15MB) then click on to install to the directory it wants to, pretty straightforward for anyone.

Clicking on the Neo 2 Ultra Menu Icon (look on your desktop or in new programs) will lead you onto a screen that looks like this:



Now get your Neo Myth Snes Flash Cart and making sure that the cart that says 256M is inserted (or the Neo 2 Card with an SD Card inserted), connect the USB Lead to the Cart and Plugit into your Laptop or PC.

It Should have no problems and automatically find drivers installed when you installed the software above, i had no problems using Windows Vista but with Windows XP Pro SP3 it wouldnt load the drivers properly, i did post a thread at Neoflash and was given instructions on how to fix this. (Try a different USB Lead it may be that, infact the Snes Myth cart does come with a lead that identifies in XP right away but this info is essential should you need any help)

Adding Roms etc

Ok carrying on from the screenshot above if everything went ok youll be able to start the juicy part, first off i did a quick format of the card, it took around 30 seconds to do, so no real biggy.

Next on the list was to Add Roms to the Cart (Homebrew Roms and Emulators can be found at links Below)

Adding Roms is as easy as clicking the add rom button and going to whereever your roms are, i was able to add as many roms as the cart would hold but if your using anything bigger than a 256MB card there may be a limit to how many you can hold, i was able to put 15 games on the cart..

Once you have added the roms you require then click on Snes Burn, depending on how big your roms are will depend on how long it takes to copy to the cart, give it a few minutes, it also verifies each burn.

Now one thing to take into consideration is that if you have a USA Snes, you will need a USA game plugged into the back of the Snes Myth Cart, If you have a Pal Snes youll need a Pal game plugged in.

Onto the Gaming

Ok youve Burnt your games onto the Flash cart and you have the Flash Cart installed in the Snes with the correct region game in the back, now its time to turn on:

Rab released GOD2XB1, so Xbox 1 GOD support is now possible:

This trivial tool will make these modifications to the god package until the new iso2god.
All it does is change that one byte and then rehash the file for you (simplifying these 2 steps):
- Open the CON stub and change the byte at offset 0x346 from 0x70 to 0x50.
- Calculate the SHA-1 hash from offset 0x344 to 0xAFFF (you should be hashing 0xACBC bytes of data) and write the hash value at offset 0x32C.
