Ganbare Goemon 2 does not work either. "Unsupported or malformed mapper!"

[rdanbrook]

Ganbare Goemon 2 works for me. Are you using a hack or translation?

As for the Chinese roms listed in the original post... those will need new mappers, and I think dragon2snow has written some, so hopefully I can see source from him some day :).

[diggly]

Yes I was using this translation: http://www.romhacking.net/translations/1329/

[rdanbrook]

For now, I recommend using soft patching.

If you're on Linux/BSD leave the .ips in the same directory as the rom, and give it the same name as the rom and it will work. If you're on Windows, just open the .ips instead of the rom... or open the rom, and then open the .ips.

There are other hacked roms that don't work, and also use mapper 23. I'll probably have to fix it by adding entries to NstDatabase.xml or handling mapper 23 differently.

[diggly]

That worked! Thanks! Now I have no reason to use any other emulator :-)

mmc5 hack not working

Bing Kuang Ji Dan Zi - Flighty Chicken (As) - cpu jam Chu Han Zheng Ba - The War Between Chu & Han (As) - black screen Dong Fang de Chuan Shuo - The Hyrule Fantasy (As) - cpu jam mapper defined error!!!

Ice Climber for Famicom Disk System (ROM labeled as "Ice Climber (1984)(Nintendo)(J)") gives a CPU Jam error upon getting one of the vegetables in some bonus areas. It's not random, the error occurs after a set number of bonus areas cleared, regardless of what areas were previously cleared.

Is it possible to get this hack to work: http://www.romhacking.net/?page=hacks&action=images&id=1574&imageid=1

An entry will have to be added to xml since this is one of those weird mappers in the xml that needs specific info and i do not know how to add one for this hack. Since it uses bps you cannot soft patch like normal.

Can someone help add this hack?

[rdanbrook]

I'll never add XML entries for hacks. Instead, a submapper should be used. You can edit the header with my awesome new tool: https://github.com/rdanbrook/cirugia

[joepogo]

Thanks dude! One question, lol how do i know what submapper to add to this hack?

This should give you all the needed information.

[joepogo]

OK i think i got it. Looks like mapper 23, submapper 15 or 23.15. I'll give this a whirl and see if this works for me. Thanks man!

[joepogo]

Hey rdanbrook, so update here i was able to get the hack to work by adding that submapper, so i decided to go back to the dreaded crisis force j proto that always throws unsupported mapper.

If you look at this: https://wiki.nesdev.com/w/index.php/Talk:VRC4

crisis force is set to 4e, so i set the submapper to 23:10 but it still says unsupported mapper.

https://wiki.nesdev.com/w/index.php/NES_2.0_submappers/Proposals#021_.2F_023_.2F_025:_1.2C_3.2C_8.2C_9.2C_10.2C_14_VRC4

According to that i think i am correct, am i missing something? If i set the submapper to 23:15 the game freezes upon startup and the cursor is missing from the start screen. Sorry if this sounds noobish but is 23:10 correct?

If so i dont think its supported, unless i am missing something. Anywho sorry to bother, just thought id ask.
