Re: Cartridge ROM mapping

I can sort of understand that going from one bank of 16k to 2 banks of 16k could cause some issues but why would a 6k game like planet defender need to have the first 4k swapped with the second 2k (with extra padding) to make it work as an 8k rom? That's because in the original cartridge there was ...

Re: Cartridge ROM mapping

12k is made of
4k 4k 4k 4k to fill one 16k bank, and 8k 8k on the 2nd. Then try to swap the two banks.

Re: Cartridge ROM mapping

Depending on the model of multicart and its logic, you may need to swap the low 16k with the high 16k.

Re: Hello From Canada

Great video by the way! Comment to the video Yes, the only official NTSC CreatiVision was released in Japan, however recently a proper boxed, packaged and complete US NTSC console was spotted. Probably an early attempt to hit the US market, however it was definitely not a prototype (like the Brazill...

The disks will fit in my suitcase and therefore ship to Tom, but not the drive :( Shipping the drive from Australia is also out of the question.
