Is it possible to get GRADIUS II to work with POWERPAK?
After I did the FDS sound mod & replaced some mappers with LOOPYS mappers, FDS sound, & Akumajo Densetsu now works!
But is there a way to make Gradius II to work?
I love both the NES version, and the PC-engine version.
Depends on the ROM you have, I suppose. I've seen two versions of this game floating around -- a hacked-up MMC3 (I think) version, and the (proper/original) VRC4 version.
If the PowerPak has support for the Konami VRC4, then the proper/original ROM should work fine. If not, best get in contact with whoever maintains the PowerPak firmware code and ask them to add VRC4 support.
Perhaps the person whom wrote the VRC6 mapper might tackle a VRC4 mapper in the future. But really you just have to wait and see as there isn't anything you can do short of paying him to do it.
I don't have a powerpak but I guess I can say thanks for the community
Wow,
thanks Loopy! You rock.
This just made my day, thank you.
Thanks Loopy. I certainly have been waiting for VRC4 support on the PowerPAK, quite a few amazing games that use it.
