SNES /SFC Must have game conversions and requests

[cogwheels]

I am probably being really thick here - but I've tried several of the patches (Rockman X3, Chrono Trigger) and each time I get an error saying the patch failed to load. Any thoughts?

Have you tried using both on and off for the "Patch expects header" setting? Thats the only thing I can think of offhand

So wait, would it even be required to mess with that FE patch? I'm a bit lost because I suppose I don't understand the difference between removing a headered rom and using the Retron to remove it via that option to expect headered roms.

To give kind of a quick background overview: When the Retron 5 dumps the cartridge to memory it does so without a header...it's just a straight clean rom. This is different compared to rom dumpers back in the peak of the Super Nintendo's popularity where the dumper will add a "header" on to the rom before getting uploaded on to the internet. The problem with why a lot of patches won't work stems from the fact that most patches were written at the time expecting the header to be there. Hyperkin added the option sometime in v2.0 beta 3 or 4 to either fake a header on top of the rom that's been dumped or to modify the patch (i'm not sure which it's actually doing though)

The reason why I remove the header from all roms I fix/recreate a patch for is for a few reasons: first is because the "expects header" option does not work 100% and will not fix all patches on it's own. The second is because when I started fixing patches up for people (including myself) that option wasn't there at the time...meaning about 90%* of patches out there were broken without assistance. The owner of this forum hikaricore can attest to that. The third reason is because..well, If i'm going to maintain a "one-stop" shop for people to download translation patches that are hopefully guaranteed to work on their Retron 5 then it's best to make the patches as easy and as consistent as possible to use.


* - 90% statement may be pulled from my ass

I was thinking of getting the Japanese carts for Breath of Fire 1&2. Is it possible to convert them to the US version?

Looking for zelda: a link to the past translation. I tried the one listed on the front page, and every time i hit the wall (sword, boomerang) the game goes blank.

Perhaps a differ version?

Thanks for any assist.
