Would it be possible to have ZSNES emulate 6MB ROMs?

SO is greater than 6MB and it runs, same with ToP

I bet your system specs are the one that don't let you play them. Please post them.

They are exactly 6MB.

What game is SO?

Turns out that it seems that I could play a 6MB game but it can't play the one I'm using.

-It's hacked, so it won't work, and by hacked, I mean altered to make another game- I keep getting the CHKSUM:FAIL message.

Star Ocean, Tales of Phanasia is 48 Mb. (6 MB, fixed)

I've heard of 64-Megabit SNES games as well.

48/8 = 6 not 5.72.

No 64Mb (8MB) game was ever released on the SNES.

For whatever reason, I took "Mb" as 1,000,000 bits, as in communication rates.

If it is "hardpatched" or you are trying to softpatch it using zsnes, you will get a chksum:fail msg.

Use nsrt to check if your rom is correct.

If you have a rom bigger than 6MB, it's either a N64 rom or a GBA rom. Or something.

Let me ask something:
If there's no such thing as 64MegaBit SNES Games, then why does Snes9X report back to me that the game is 64MBit when I soft patch Star Ocean for the English Translation?

Post by **grinvader** » Thu Jan 13, 2005 3:43 am

ROM enlargement ? If DF didn't have enough room to add the script even compressed, he might have done this.

Just checked - even the clean rom is said to be 64 Mbits. I guess snes9x has bad size detection code.

Which is stupid. You cannot apply SI to computers. Ever.

FuSoYa's hack of Super Mario World, Super Demo World is 64 Mb.

SI?

Scientific Notation.
IE: 6x10^6 = 6,000,000
EDIT: Missed a zero. Thanks to c61746961.

Oh, well, actually I didn't... The data transfer rate ISP's brag about is actually in strict base 10, so 1 Kbps really is 1,000 bits/s, and 1 Mbps equals 1,000,000 bits/s.

adventure_of_link: You are missing one zero.

Yes, you did. Just because most ISPs are bragging about how much they cheat the customers doesn't mean they're correct. A megabyte is actually 1048576 bytes, or 8388608 bits.

That's the way data throughput is measured, I'm not sure that it started as a cheat, but now it's official, thus, correct. However, I was aware of my mistake and latter corrected it.

No, it's not. Otherwise, my CCNA teacher would've said something about it already.

Hard drives manufacturers do the same marketing trick.
