I eventually found out how to extract them using GlazedBelmont’s guide on it through someone on Discord, but thanks for your help regardless.
From my and someone else’s experience, some ROMs don’t run though even if I change the hex editor to what GlazedBelmont’s guide instructed. PUNCH, SMBUSA, KIRBY and USZELDA2 didn’t run despite having hex instructions. Also, the files without Hex codes in the guide weren’t gonna work, so I didn’t change those. Certain games like USKirby, SMB3 and USSMB3 have graphical issues (but still playable).
Regardless, I’m overall satisfied with getting working ROMs.
Bought a usb to USB to UART and I can’t get it to read at all using Putty or TeraTerm for the super retro-cade please help I cannot understand how to read or if it’s working it does have a pair of blue lights on when the terminal emulatoirs are opened it provides a red light I suspect that light is for the read but then it fails to read and transplant the data to the SD, you haven’t told us a few important things 1. does it show progress in any terminal when the echo is on that allows text to be presented or does some bar scroll to show the progress of the data being read? 2. when your telling us to format the SD when you say to use FAT do you mean FAT16 (FAT) or FAT32 or do you mean EXFAT please? 3. Should the mains power be turned on to the Super Retro-Cade console during this process or should the power be for the console be off please?
A video guide would befar more explanitory so we can see it for our selves as apposed to viewing pictures, I can only get a bar that looks like a progress bar to appear either by having power on mid read attempt then turning off the power and a bar comes up slowly progressing, at the end of which no data is on the SD is the SD supposed to be in the Super Retro-Cade or in a PC and is the computer used supposed to be on Windows/linux etc none of this is outlined and thus I am stuck. I hate leaning on you to provide it all but I can’t get anything to work otherwise not knowing.
Sorry, about not coming back to you sooner. Haven’t visited this page in a while. I know this is a bit frustrating since no one on the internet seems to wright about this sort of thing. I basically just Google-translated this one and it worked: レトロビットジェネレーション2からのROMバックアップ : 発明の友
First of. Do you know you are connected to the retro-cade? Does anything pop up on the Linux prompt screen when you are connected? I think that if everything is connected correctly and the console gets powered on you should get something up on the screen. You can try to type in df on the prompt and see if you get some information about the console.
FYI My adapter was actually marked incorrectly with the RX and TX inputs, so I have to put TX to TX and RX to RX to make it work.
I also had some trouble getting the drivers to work on Windows 10 when I first plugged it in, so make sure you install the proper driver and check if it shows up in “Device Manager”. If I’m not mistaken I had to unplug the adapter and “uninstall device” before installing the driver to make it work properly.
Anyone have any success extracting GG ROMS from the 3DS Virtual Console? I’ve got the files from the 3DS, but they are compressed in the MDF format (and as far as I understand, with the zlib codec). The problem is that when it try to decompress, MArchiveBatchTool needs seed and keyLength arguments. Does anyone know how I find those?
