It seems Shining Force Gaiden II actually uses 32KB SRAM.
Source is here. Only found out the Wiki may be wrong after a friend of mine hit issues testing games in MESS. |

Thank you, that looks like a mistake indeed. I added this 24 KB field on "Sat Apr 24, 2010 6:43 am". The probably reason is that I used Meka to naively confirm the save and for save size doesn't use a DB but instead it automatically adjust the .sav file to the nearest 8 KB. Given the bug above it is a fair assumption that the chip is 32 KB, tho I don't have a scan of the board handy. I have zero evidence and this is just a guess - but there is a small possibility that this sort of game could have e.g. 16 KB battery backed and 16 KB only for stratch memory. A board scan would help to confirm. |

This would appear to be a photograph of the board.

Number of levels in Wiki
![]() |
Hi,
I recently finished SMS Incredible Crash Dummies and I have the feeling that there are only 4 levels of difficulty (EASY, OK, HARD, VERY HARD) and not 5 * 5. May I have missed something ? For SMS Asterix, it takes 21 levels to finish the game, but should not we also count the alternative levels between Asterix and Obelix ? |

Thank you Maxim. I know I'm probably right for my remarks. But it's always a heavy responsibility to put this kind of information, because here we always try to be as accurate as possible |

Sonic 2 wrong PAL only tag
![]() |
"Games with this tag only work correctly on PAL (50Hz) systems - they fail or are glitchy on NTSC (60Hz) systems."
I have an original PAL copy of Sonic 2 and it does work perfectly with my SMS set to 60Hz, in fact it is NTSC optimized and it runs too slow on 50Hz |

James Pond II Cover Variations
![]() |
Hi, today I received a copy of James Pond II from Portugal. On the box, there are several Portuguese stickers.
It corresponds to version A of the scans we have. http://www.smspower.org/Scans/JamesPondII-SMS-EU-A But the box is "Made in Australia", it's an OZISOFT. In addition the cartridge is RED and the notice is just one sheet in English. So I wondered if this version A was not finally Australian and not European as indicated ? I attach some photos. I could do things of better quality if necessary |

Same height, 1 or 2 millimeters less in width and 1 millimeter less in thickness. I do not have an Australian game in my collection, so I can not compare. But the inlay is smaller. | |

Hey, there's an article I can't edit with an outdated Charles MacDonald link.
http://www.smspower.org/Articles/TrainersDoItYourself Down the bottom notes, with the Super Magic Drive notes. The broken link can now be found at http://www.techno-junk.org/txt/smdtech.txt The 512k Flashcart tutorial is a broken link here, but I can't find it on his new site. It exists on Archive.org, however. |

Thanks for those BIG D and the details.
They seem to be mostly Year N to Year N+1. Many of the dates here were based on title screen date so it would make sense that many were released later. |
