Hi
Several days ago, I've been making various reading tests of my carts with the sketch of sanni: V9C version, to check its operation. I've dumped both saves and roms of these carts:
-Supermario 64 - 4k eeprom
-Yoshi story - 16k eeprom
-Zelda OOT - sram
-Pokemon Snap - flashRam 29l1100
-Zelda MM - flashRam Mn63F81
-Paper Mario - flashram 29L1100
-Fifa 98 - controller pak save
-Fifa 99 - controller pak save
-NBA Pro 98 - controller pak save
-Xena Warrior P.- controller pak save
-World Driver C.- controller pak save
-Turok2 Seeds of- controller pak save
I don't have any cart with the 29l1101 chip, so I have not been able to test this chip, but I've bought a Jet Force Gemini Pal cart and I am waiting the arrival by mail.
The files obtained, I have tried in my ED64, all files works perfectly, both the Roms and the Saves works well on the ED64.
But I have found these problems:
-Paper Mario Rom file does not work on PJ64 emulator, but it works well on ED64. But the save works in the ED64 and in the PJ64. I have observed what the retrieved file Rom from "Cart Reader" weighs 40MB and a Rom of the same cart, downloaded from internet, weighs 65 MB, this has made me hesitate, however the rom file that I've got of the "Cart Reader" works well on ED64.
-Save file of the Pokémon Snap cart, does not work on my PJ64 emulator, but it works perfectly in my ED64.
-Rom file of the Fifa 99 works bad on the emulator PJ64 (pixelization and strange characters) this may be due to a bad dump made by me.
-The Rom file of the cart: World Driver Championship, does not work on the emulator PJ64, Another bad dump made by me?
I have come to this conclusion: Snes Cart Reader V9C version works perfectly, with the exception of the Paper Mario Rom which size is not the same, all files work perfectly on ED64, both the save files and the Roms files. I have appreciated very much the reset option and the autodetect of the saves chips. This is great
I believe what the problems of reading of files that I have had with PJ64 emulator, are the product of a bad configuration of the emulator or some incompatibility with my operating system. Because absolutely all the obtained files work well on ED64. Including Paper Mario with 40MB size.
But, I have found a problem. Of all my cartridges with the save on the controller pak, the "Cart Reader" only recognizes the size of the rom of one of them: the Turok 2 cartridge, all other cartridges should be put the size of the rom manually with the push button. but, however the program recognizes all the names of all the carts introduced in it.
My conclusion: I really like how the program works, I think that is almost 100 percent, if we skipped the size of roms that need to enter them manually, everything else is perfect. At least in terms of N64 carts
