[Dreamcaster]

Since someone recently requested the Salamander fix for this and the old links are broken, here's the cue/iso with the patched Salamander game (fixed the booting issue, fixed the DDA sample issue): http://www.pcedev.net/super_hucard/super_hucard.zip

[RetroRepair]

Awesome! 

Thanks for that.. would it be cheeky to ask you to look at Gradius too? That one craps out when it tries to boot also.

Looking forward to MegaMan 2 on CD btw 

[RetroRepair]

Salamander works great for the most part but craps out on level 2. Sprites get stuck on the screen then the game hangs.

[Bonknuts]

 If you're willing to test 'em, I'm will to patch them (or continue looking for bugs)

 Supposedly as the story goes, the person responsible for this build of the ISO used an automated tool to hunt down the mapper opcodes... but I don't see how that's possible when it skipped over some pretty easy detectable ones in Salamander. I have a tool I use for NES to PCE project for hunting down specific opcodes (with special operand ranges). I'll adapt it for use with this, for hunting down real TAM opcodes vs just data that looks like opcodes.

Yeah I'll gladly test them. I have a large stack of CD-Rs here with Super HuCard written all over them  

It's interesting to hear what goes into converting them too. I don't claim to understand most of it but I get the gist and learn as I go.

It'd certainly be cool to see this project improved to the point where it can actually run some of the games properly, nearly a decade on!

I started making a list one time of the games that seemed to play without issue.

IIRC, there were only like 2 games on the entire disc that played without issue (as far as I bothered to play with them).

[Arkhan]

All the games that worked for me I already own as HuCards.

So, yeah....

 Cool Why don't we do this; start over from scratch. Well.. not completely from scratch but a new list of games. We'll add them as they prove themselves playable and beatable. Instead of the huge misleading list that exists as is. Also, I'll put a revision number on boot up so you'll know what version/build you're using.

 nat: You don't happen to know what those two were? If the are perfect or near perfect, then I'd like to add them to the new build/list.

 As a side note; I can add Megaman ROM to the list since that's near complete. I'm reluctant to add the other existing 6-7 NES projects because as they aren't near as complete.

Why is Zipang in there twice?

Because Yuu Yuu Jinsei is in there twice.  Duh!

[Mishran]

Why is Zipang in there twice?

Because Yuu Yuu Jinsei is in there twice.  Duh!

Well, they both actually show up twice, at the beginning and the end of the menu. I just did a copy and paste of the file I made up and forgot to remove the first two entries.

Fixed.

[Arkhan]

lol . ohhhhh.


What'd be great is if we could fit EVERY hucard ever, on a CD.

Yeah.

QUITE THE LIST

That's, uh, quite the list. How far did you play into these? Or did you just test to see that they started?

I'm pretty sure 99% of these games crash sooner or later. I remember Appare Gateball starting, but glitching out almost immediately for example.

Pac-Land plays great.... until you reach the stage where you have to fly backwards through the level, at which point it becomes unplayable.

These are just two examples that stick out in my mind (I did the testing quite a few years back), but I tested everything on that disc years ago and I remember only two games that I didn't find any issues with as far as I played.

They are: Dragon Spirit and Gunhed Special. I didn't play all the way through DS, but I got well into level 4 or so without any issues.

Oh, and Alex Kidd in Monsterworld? Surely you mean Wonderboy in Monsterland.
