Atari 5200 Updates #1006

Closed andy-miles closed 3 months ago

andy-miles commented 3 months ago
  1. Added CRC database lookup for ROM dump validation and file renaming
  2. Added delays to improve successful ROM dumping. Especially helps with 2-chip ROMs
  3. Fixed database mapper config for Star Trek (not a 2-chip ROM)

Tested with multiple carts with HW5: Vanguard (2-chip)

Note: It's possible that Star Trek (non alt version) is a 2-chip, but I don't have that cart. If that's the case, the database can be fixed for that specific version. Otherwise, someone owning that cart would have to catch it though :( The work around is to manually select the mapper and size in the menu.
