Not sure if any of this is possible, but I thought I would start a wish list - Ability to place screenshot image of game on sd card which would be associated with a rom of the same name, ability to press a certain button when rom is selected to view screenshot. - Ability to place a text format manual for a game on sd card which would be associated with a rom of the same name, ability to press a certain button when a rom is selected to read text document on screen. - Ability to have a metadata file for roms which would include information such as Year of Release, Developer, Publisher, etc. Ability to view this information when listing rom files, ability to sort by this metadata.
1) possible 2) possible 3) sega rom header has only publish date and game name. metadata reading will be very slow i will think about your idea implementation.
That would require the everdrive holding the cover of every MD game ever. and being able to run it against the title and find it in its cover database.
hmm... it is really good idea. currently i little busy by my snes project, but i will implement it when i will have a time.
To my knowledge, no website has even come close to a comprehensive screenshot library from emulation, much less box scans. That is something I hope to eventually accomplish to a greater degree than other websites that focus on popular stuff only.
cowers is really hard to find, but i know website where present screenshots for most of genny games. i think that gameplay screenshots will be beter then covers
is there any chance of FAT32 support in the future? Once adding in screenshots 2GB becomes much smaller space.
screenshot 320x244 it is just 36kb of memory (in genesis graphics format), so it 36mbyte for all games. i think that fat32 will come on sega everdrive only after then i implement fat32 for some other project, where fat32 is really need. in this case i just make port for sega if it will be possible. currently fat32 is unknow technology for me and i don't want to spend my time on it without weighty reason
Thanks Krikzz! I think we all prefer you spend your time getting the SNES Everdrive to market Would having multiple 2GB FAT16 Partitions on one SD card be easier to impliment? eg. we can get a 4GB card and split it into 2 FAT16 2GB partition?
How about YM2413 FM sound chip? Would be great to play some sms games with proper FM sound. Especially now that there's a great Phantasy Star retranslation with FM sound It would raise the price of the Everdrive a fair bit, but you could also just sell an expansion board. more info: http://www.smspower.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=58327#58327
I'm not sure these are possible, but here's my dream wish list: Full Sega CD bios and ROM compatibility with U.S. Model 1 or 2 Genesis & Model 1 or 2 Sega CD hardware configuration. Also, auto region-lock disabling so region-locked Japanese ROMs will work on American machines and vice versa, without having to mod your console or manually patch the ROMs. And that would make it pretty much perfect!
