Virtual Boy Dumping: Red Alarm #4

Open DoctorDan1986 opened 7 years ago

DoctorDan1986 commented 7 years ago

So, I'm using Helder's VB to Genesis Retrode Adapter, and so far, all of my games read great...except for Red Alarm.

For some reason, Red Alarm is read as a 512KB game, when it's actually 1024KB (1MB). It's not the size; I don't have any trouble with Jack Bros or Waterworld (aside from Waterworld sucking), so I'm wondering if it has something to do with how the Retrode is reading carts.

Have you tried updating to the latest firmware and trying again? From the firmware changelog:

v0.25 (2018-05-12)
- Changes by skaman:
-- Virtual Boy Saves!
-- Added VB SRAM save support.
-- VB SRAM carts should be identified by Product Code
   and display the .SAV file.  The .SAV file can be read
   and written.
-- SRAM support requires a modified VB Plugin with the SRAM
   control pins connected.
-- Fixed identification of Red Alarm.
-- Fixed Galactic Pinball and Mario's Tennis detection.
-- Moved VBOY cart detection ahead of NGP cart detection.
   Some VBOY carts were incorrectly detected as NGP.
-- Added "vboy" setting for [forceSystem] in the Config file.
-- Fixed VBOY size detection code to work with [forceSystem].
