Nes Repro issue with kazoo and INL-ROM
by on (#142285)
Hi everyone,

I've got some problem with a Repro.
I've dumped my SSB3 (PAL) cartridge with Anago and write it on my INL-ROM card (MMC3 with 512 PRG-ROM and 256 CHR-R0M).
The cartridge make a back screen on my NES. Though when I dump it with Anago, i get a working .nes file.

What's the problem ?

I guess it is SMB3, not SSB3. As long as I remember SMB3 is 256KB PRG + 128KB CHR, so have you duplicated the data to fill 512PRG + 256CHR?? If not, copy the entire PRG data and make it 512KB, do the same thing with CHR part (copy it twice to make it 256KB CHR in total)

Thanks for your answer
Sure sorry of course it's SMB3.

Yes I doubled my CHR et PRG file they size respectively 262144 bytes and 524288 bytes. But they dont end by FFFFFFFF is it normal ?

The rom that work in fceux dumped from the INL board sized 393 232 bytes and not 786432 +16 (from the header line) as i double it in writing.

Also I've heard sometimes with INL-Board it seems yoy have to reset the nes to load the game. I didnt try this the reset button is down.
