Re: How to convert an .xdelta file to .ips?

Not so much of a conversion, but a workaround I had posted here.

Re: SNES /SFC Must have game conversions and requests

It's possible to do if the data doesn't conflict, but it can get a bit dicey otherwise. If you're patching a JP game with a full copy of the English version and not just a fan translation, then applying a patch meant for the English version after that it's totally reasonable to expect success.

Re: SNES /SFC Must have game conversions and requests

Thank you kindly for doing so, as R9 said the legality of a standalone rom is questionable at best. For the sake of the community we'll stick to patches (at least in public communications). :) Additionally a huge thanks to R9Delta for maintaining this thread, you do great things for all of us and it...

Re: Possible to downgrade?

Thus far in my experience it is possible to downgrade if you have a prior firmware version. This may or may not be the case in the future. Personally I've downloaded each and every available firmware release with my own request key and keep them archived on my SDcard for safe keeping. :) Might not b...

Re: converting xdelta to ips

Patch limit shouldn't be an issue system depending. I've found patches under 10mb in size seem to work fine. If you merge the xdelta file into the corresponding rom, you can then use a tool such as lunar IPS to generate an IPS patch between the original rom and your merged modified rom. It's a bit o...

Re: help retron 5 picture quality issue

On further inspection you may wish to check any scaling features on your set, it appears as though the image may be zoomed or cropped a bit, but still other than that without filters pixels are to be expected.

Re: help retron 5 picture quality issue

I have just bought a retron 5 but the picture quality is terrible. I am using it on a sony hd smart tv so I'm not sure if it's a problem with my tv or if there is something wrong with the retron 5. This is a screenshot of streets of rage it looks like a pixelated mess. All the videos I've seen on Y...
