Iron Commando Reproduction

Hey guys.

I tried to make myself a repro of Iron Commando on an 4MB INL board.
It starts and i can choose a character but afterwards, the meteor goes to the down left side and gets stuck.
The music for the first level starts, but it won't load the screen.

I'm using the japanese original ROM. Even tried 2 different sources. Still the same.
uCon says there is no pattern for region fix or crack.
I don't know what to do. (

For whatever it's worth, I was handed an Iron Commando (E) reproduction, and it works fine in my US SNES.

I have no idea what's going on.

does that game use mirroring? If so, you may need to "double up" the rom onto itself to fill the 4MB chip.

No, this isn't a NES game and doesn't use any mirroring.

Iron Commando on a cart works fine for me. Already made a PAL repro of it before.
Just not on an INL board though.

Actually there are a few SNES games that did use mirroring, I think they were all LoROM games aside from MegaMan X2. But I've run into problems before with INL boards for games like FF5 where the translation makes the rom an odd size, and you have to mirror it and fill the chip otherwise the game crashes after the title screen.

Also had this happen on a King of Demons repro before.

That's not mirroring at all but address mapping, which is not the same.

Special chips such as Cx4, SA-1, DSP, S-DD1 has nothing to with mapping but video rendering/graphics compression, etc. Functions that the regular CPU is not capable of.

ah okay. i try to mirror it in different ways =)

and no its no NES game.
i mean the snes one

You cannot mirror a SNES game.

But what you can do is check the switch for the INL board and see if its set to LoROM or HiROM.

Hey Guys!

I'd like to kindly ask you not to repro this game

We tracked Mr. Carlo Perconti the developer of Iron Commando and Legend for SNES; and we got the rights to publish the game officially.

We will release a physical version, at a very affordable price in either Cart only or Complete in box version .

This will be an official (but unlicensed) release

Thanks!

I think you should clarify what you mean by "unlicensed". The right to publish the game is a license.

Perhaps unlicensed in the sense that Bee 52 and Battle Kid and the NES version of Lizard are unlicensed: they are produced without the console maker's cooperation.

Exactly this.
