I'll do when I have time, I'm superbusy right now, sorry!

Anyone else find it strange how "Cheetahmen 2" is labelled with "Glitches"?

Great list by the way.

ok, it's more glitchy than normal, haha... if you have a ROM that works as glitchy as the original, tell me to take out of the list.

I like to add the following to the Japanese Games That DON'T Work List:

1. DragonBall - Dai Maou Fukkatsu
2. DragonBall
3. DragonBall 3 - Goku Den
4. DragonBall Z - Kyoushuu! Saiya Jin
5. DragonBall Z II - Gekishin Freeza!!
6. DragonBall Z III - Ressen Jinzou Ningen
7. DragonBall Z Gaiden - Saiya Jin Zetsumetsu Keikaku

Keeps saying Mapper 10 not found.

Ok E-man,took note of them.

So, I already added tips, mappers and troubleshooting information. Any additions and suggestions are most welcome!

Nice update. Can you also add a note to the Crystalis listing that the latest round of beta mappers appears to fix the Crystalis glitches?

done!

Remember, contributions of any kind relevant to the Powerpak are highly encouraged. I guess the SNES Powerpak doesn't need an incompatibility list, as Retrozone already has one. But recommendations for both Powerpaks are welcome, and the thread title will be changed accordingly.

Thanks for making/updating this thread.

I wouldn't say all the games are listed for the SNES PowerPak. I ran into a couple of Super Famicom games that don't work.

hmmmhmmm, interesting. If someone feels like making a list for it, we can put it here to make the ultimate Powerpak thread! Obviously, with proper credit and all...

Thanks for this thread, I just purchased both PowerPaks for the NES & SNES at the same time and I am sure this will come in very useful!

You said Cheetahmen 2 doesn't work on the powerpak due to glitches...isn't that how the game is originally? lol

^^I don't remember the specifics, but I remember it ran, and the cheetahman sprite didn't look like it should (like in youtube, I mean), or something along the lines (glitched graphics beyong "normal" for this game).

What is the status of Karnov and Crystalis for the powerpak? Are they playable? I'm about to order one. Just curious.
Thanks for all the information.

Crystalis works, Karnov doesn't (it runs, but it's too glitchy to be enjoyable). The thing with Crystalis is that for some people it had severe glitches, and for some it didn't (even with same mappers and same rom). The last beta version mappers seems to have solved this, for the original person that reported it. In my powerpak it has always worked.

Is there a list of compatible cf cards anywhere and what is the max card size?

I just added a link to nesworld.com, which has an early review of the powerpak, along with a very short compatibility and incompatibility list for CF cards. Specifically, the card I have has no brand, just a white and blue sticker, with no reference of brand or even company where it was made.

This is the link, which also is in the first post now.

Actually I think it's a weird bus conflict issue. When initializing music it writes to $D418 (possibly left over from C64 SID initialization when the music was ported over), causing bankswitch to occur. For some reason this apparently doesn't screw the game up on the actual cart though.

@buttheadrulesagain:

I don't collect hacks or foreign roms, just US NTSC ones.  I have a complete set. Here is the list of US NTSC games that don't work for me on the Powerpak a couple of them aren't listed on your list, they are bolded:

Bandit Kings Of Ancient China (MMC5)
Baseball Stars II (Graphic Glitches)
Batman - Return of the Joker (Locks Up)
Castlevania 3 - Dracula's Curse (MMC5)
Cybernoid (Graphic Glitches after title)
Death Race (Locks up)
Fire Hawk (Locks after starting game)
Frontline (Bad File Header, probably a bad rom)
Gemfire (MMC5)
Hot Slot (Graphic Glitches)
Karnov (Graphic Glitches)
Laser Invasion (MMC5)
L'Empereur (MMC5)
M.C. Kids (Graphic Glitches)
Maxi-15 (Graphic Glitches)
Nobunaga's Ambition II (MMC5)
Romace of the Three Kingdoms 2 (MMC5)
Star Wars (Colors are not right, white background instead of black in space etc.)
Startropics (Locks up after starting game)
Startropics II (Locks up after starting game)
Uncharted Waters (MMC5)
Wario World (Graphic Glitches)

I assure you that Star Wars works, and I think Wario Woods too (that's the one you're refering to right?). I have to double check Baseball Stars 2, Frontline, Fire Hawk and Hot Slot. I'm almost sure that MC Kids works too.

Opps! yes Wario Woods. I tried multiple versions of these roms with the same results. Let me know what you find. The more working the better!

I will have to take a screenshot of how both Star Wars and Wario Woods looks when I try. And I tried different rom version s too.

Hot Slots doesn't work for me either (glitchy), I'll add it to the list unless someone reports it as working. Wario Woods, MC Kids and Frontline work perfectly. Maxi-15 works too. I forgot about baseball stars 2 and Fire Hawk.

Interesting about Wario Woods, MC Kids and Frontline. I will have to look into other roms I guess. Do you know which ones you are using (i.e. (U) !, (U) [f], etc.)??
