What Star Fox 2 exactly?

And, What kind of error?

All my Star Fox 2 run perfectly! I think...

Please, tell me the name of the rom in GoodSnes format.

WHAT YOU SAY?!

Yes it is almost ready. It requires more work though but as the CPU core is maturing the game is running better and better.

That's awesome, I can't wait! I hate having to play it in SNES9x.

Don't mention that useless tool.. NSRT is the way to go.

It's not too surprising that the improved core will fix so many things... though sadly I'm not a Star Fox fan.

NSRT v3.3 RC2 - Nach's SNES ROM Tools

---------------------Internal ROM Info----------------------
File: Star Fox 2 (Beta TD).smc
Name: STAR FOX 2 Company: Nintendo
Header: None Bank: LoROM
Interleaved: No SRAM: 512 Kb
Type: Super FX + Batt ROM: 8 Mb
Country: Japan Video: NTSC
ROM Speed: 200ns (SlowROM) Revision: 1.0
Checksum: Good 0x5F3F CRC32: 79F3433D
--------------------------Database--------------------------
Name: Star Fox 2 (Private Build)
Country: Japan Revision: 1.0
Port 1: Gamepad Port 2: Gamepad
Genre 1: Shooter Genre 2: Back View

And the version in GoodSNES that you want is Star Fox 2 (Beta TD).smc or Star Fox 2 (Beta TD) (J) [o1].smc
They're the same, the other one's just an overdump.

(BETA TD).smc has no checksum and I think it's undersized, but NSRT can fix that. It can fix the [o1] too as well.

Both versions are untranslated/unpatched, you can get the patches from http://agtp.romhack.net/

You mean the one known as Beta TD is an underdump.

Firon · Post by **Firon** » Wed May 24, 2006 11:18 pm

Yeah, it's an underdump I believe... My memory might be faulty.
GoodSNES considers the proper sized 1MB one an "overdump." Either of them work, just have to fix them with NSRT.
There's another beta floating around, but it's a lot less complete than this one.

If I recall, TD (The Dumper) padded 00 bytes to make the file have a normal size. Because it was never actually dumped (there was never a physical cartridge or ROM chip to be dumped), there is no "underdump" or "overdump".
Interpret that however you wish.

This is still getting some work, I am working on cycle timing for SuperFX which is proving to be harder than expected without building some kind of rig for a SuperFX cart. But I am making some progress. The issue right now is finding out how long the SFX IRQ takes in relation to the master SNES clock.
