In cases like this, it's always of enormous help to have at least some information

Just a quick update: - The snega2usb is now called Retrode - It's better than ever :) - It is available! Already more than 90 users; I am receiving the most positive feedback every day - It has been tested to be compatible to more than 300 games (SNES/Genesis); the only titles not working so far are...

Uhm... so how exactly does all this relate to the topic of the thread?

What is the difference between a copier and a programmer?[...] Well, I use my programmer strictly to copy games. but it's still a programmer because it still has that capability. A tape recorder is still a tape recorder even if you never so much as touch the record button. So would my copier become...

The mash-mods device isn't a copier. It's a USB programmer and badinsults was questioning the purpose of this relative to that. What is the difference between a copier and a programmer? Does a "programmer" not become a "copier" once you use it that way? Feel free to use technica...

And you could use NSRT ( link ) to test with something more reliable than header checksums. (How about using CRC32 in the file names?) Well, first of all, the checksum is only included in the name for uniqueness, so using CRC32 would be a total overkill. Then, of course I could do some serious test...

If you have no concerns about looking at official documentation, you can read about it here

Wow. I did not even know about this document. Another thing learned, thank you.

Wow, that's a lot of answers for a single night :-) Let me go through some of them: @byuu: That's pretty much what I had in mind. You plug in your game, and ideally the emulator should boot it right away, as the console would do it. (Adding this functionality to existing emus should not be a big dea...

Sounds pretty similar to the Mash Mods USB reader Wow, I did not know that one, thanks for pointing this out. Looks like I have to revise the "best of my knowledge", for this is indeed some serious competition. Does it require special drivers / programming software? Which games does it su...

Obviously, it's not quite my dream as I'm sure you're buffering the cartridge for very obvious reasons. So emulators still need to support the special chips, ruling out three titles at present from working with this device. The file access follows whatever the emulator is doing. Due to the nature o...

Hi! I just wanted to introduce a project of mine, the snega2usb . It is a USB Mass Storage wrapper for SNES (and Sega Genesis) cartridges that makes the ROM/SRAM contents appear as SMC/SRM files, allowing you to legally play your good old SNES games in an emulator, and even to rescue/modify your bat...
