kynrek, I tested Earthbound Uncut the other day and it didn't play. I actually came here hoping for some advice, maybe an SD card patch or something. Did you try updateing the firmware? No telling how old it is.

It this thread still active? Stupid question.

A friend of mine recently got a Retron 5 as a gift. I told him it wouldn't play the home-brew games I wrote (TGUN, Dragon Leap, Dragon Feet). However, when we tried it the games did play. It loads the game, does not recognize the title, then pops up a warning screen that basically says 'do you still want to play?', and if you pick "yes" the game plays. These are all NROM games. Didn't have any other home-brews to try out. Is this a new feature they added or has it always been there? Always been there.  I get the same message with some prototypes and they work typically

I got a repro hack of Super Metroid Redesign.  It glitches out on a standard SNES near the beginning but it works like a champ on my Retron 5.... That's because the ROM wasn't tested properly on real hardware. Retron5 is for all purposes and intents, an emulator. I have a Ballz 3D cart that I removed the DSP1b chip from, and it crashes after the loading screen on a real SNES. I'd bet my bottom dollar the Retron5 emu will play it just fine though. ]]>

just tried action53function16volumeOne again on build 1599 (2.0 beta 1) and still a no-go.

on the r5 it just gets a grey screen(unknown cart). it's dumping enough of the rom that nestopia will show the title screen(145kb) but then it just crashes (don't know if nestopia normally should support action 53? but fceux just black screened)
homebrew mapper.
