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.

Thanks, that's a 32 KB chip indeed

Number of levels in Wiki
Posted: Mon Jan 22, 2018 3:29 pm
|
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 ? |

It seems in "Tournament Mode" you can play with 4 players.
Am I Wrong ? |

May be searching the contributor (Bakudandan) and ask him about re-scan? |

balkry, use your best judgement to edit pages, no need to ask for confirmation. | |

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
Posted: Thu Sep 13, 2018 7:23 pm
|
"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
Posted: Thu Sep 20, 2018 5:10 pm
|
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 |
|
|
Posted: Thu Sep 20, 2018 7:54 pm |
Is it a normal size box? | |
|
Posted: Thu Sep 20, 2018 8:07 pm |
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. | |
|
Posted: Thu Sep 20, 2018 8:23 pm |
I guess it's probably Australian then. | |

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. |
