In those games, the intro screen waits for you to change the disk.  Because Powerpak does automatic disk switching, the intro gets quickly skipped. Holding down the select button will keep the disk "ejected" on powerpak.
 

I don't suppose there's any chance of The Fox updating the Powermappers to include Mapper 30 so Twin Dragons will be compatible...?

Here you go.

That's the exact mapper file I already have on the PowerPak card.  Save states do not work.

Ok, so Bananmos has updated his Mapper 30 so that it works with the regular unedited ROM of Twin Dragons; it also works with Black Box Challenge! Download link here (you'll want Version 4; scroll down until you find the correct Bananmos post):

Just came across this and was headed here to let you know. Good stuff.

Aw, thanks for thinking of me!  Now if only the Fox could make a PowerMapper 30...

 

And here's where you can download the GTROM mapper, required by some homebrews including The Incident, Scramble, and the upcoming Nescape:

I think it's about time the original post was updated yet again, with Mapper 30 and GTROM Mapper info.  

Which mapper specifically is the FDS mapper?  I just want to replace that one mapper.  Thanks!

 

Replace the F.MAP file.
 

Thank you sir!!!

 

Loopy, is there a way to update your MMC5 mapper so that the Legend Of Link Zelda hack will work properly on the PowerPak?

"Will this work on…? This game will NOT work on the N8 Everdrive, or PowerPak’s. The N8 Everdrive uses 512kb PRG & CHR-ROM. The author contacted the creator, but he wasn’t interested in creating a revision to his product. PowerPak’s are in the same boat. Loopy’s MMC5 patch works on MMC5 games, but, my work is too large for it to handle."

Not possible. It's not the mapper, that Zelda hack is too large.
 

It works on a harvested MMC5 board though; is it impossible to fully replicate that using a mapper file then?  Pardon my ignorance!   

Look at the requirements for that hack -

• 1MB PRG-ROM
• 1MB CHR-ROM

Powerpak has only 512KB of RAM for each (same as Everdrive), a different mapper won't change that.

 

Does anybody know how to get games made with NESmaker working on the powerpak? It says I need mapper MAP1E .

Scroll up above and see my post from April 9th.   

 

Thanks.
 

The original post really needs to be updated.
