I just got my PowerPak in the mail and love it.

I have a problem with a few games three of them are

e6799d393183f4300138f2319c364bf4 Super Mario Bros (PRG 0) (JU).nes
aa22ddc106586cf6f21644329dffb680 Blaster Master (U).nes
f4b4dc56b17ba1b17e5cff0b75a6f986 Ren & Stimpy Show, The (U).nes

I hit A on the controller to select the game and the screen just gets a lot of garbage. I can take a photo if needed.

the hex number next to it is a md5sum if someone would be willing to see if I have a bad copy of the rom

I have searched high and low but, haven't found any other person having problems with these games.

edit

In the garbage in trying to load the game it says file not found.

I have formated the card using windows XP but have transferred the games using linux. I've even tried changing the cluster size on the partition to 512. I have tried fat16 and 32 I've also ran a scandisk using windows XP and a defrag of the file system. and a fsck in linux. It's a 2GB card.

I'm running it on the toaster NES with only the lockout chip mod, which it should have any problems with it.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

edit again

I guess I didn't do enough research bad header fix with good nes

GoodNES is the only tool I know that will "fix" headers, and yet it is prone to errors. Will SOMEBODY ever make a ROM header fixer based on the Nestopia database??!?

Do you know any C++?

There seems to be alot of roms with bad headers. I was getting alot of scrambled screens like that and I used "NESToy" to fix bad headers and I don't get those scrambled screens anymore.

I made one in php, not very hard. Think I released the source...can't remember if it was the final version I made or not though. http://gannon.portablesofdoom.org/viewe ... eaders.php

Even w/o an automated program, it shouldn't be too hard to fix a header by simply doing a little research & using a hex editor...
