Added SNES SuperFX hardware type and fixed save ram header issue with Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Stunt Race FX
Closes#58 and #35
See merge request InfiniteNesLives/INL-retro-progdump!30
battery ram save dumping, and flash board programming.
-MMC5 updates fixed battery ram dumping
-genesis_v2.lua script supports dumping battery ram, and flashing ROM
only prototype flash board. The firmware isn't very clean, but working
for now.
-SNES support for 32Byte page writes, but host lua scripts are a bit of
a mess and still need committed. Firmware isn't very clean either but
it's working..
-SEGA stuff is early and non-working. Got it working in a separate
branch which will commit shortly.
-SWIM updates for better erasing, flashing, and dumping routines
-FILES updates for jtag and some other niceties
-JTAG is working now for LC4032V & Mach-XO 256
Firmware application version #3 release
-------------------------------------------
N64 updates:
Some extra timing delays were necessary for consistent dumping.
Includes fixes for N64 dumping that proved working for me on 10+ carts I
dumped successfully. There is now a .csv in docs folder with cart size
in bytes, divide that number by 131,072 to get size in mbits for -z
flag. Includes CRC32 checksum that can be verified using HxD hex
editor. N64 file output is big-endian so it reads as it should in hex
editor which is .z64 file format. lua script updated to print out the
game name from the in rom header.
NES updates:
flashing support for quite a few different mappers including GTROM,
MMC2, MMC4, action53, easyNSF, and other tweaks to rd/wr timings.
FIRMWARE UPDATES:
inlretro2.lua script now tries to poll the firmware "application
version" and suggest updating your firmware if you're not running the
version in this release. You can always update your firmware using the
bootloader method in the readme. But there is an easier method if you
have an stm32 based device (translated: you purchased your device in
2018 or later). AND you're already running firmware version v2.3.x
simply run the new scripts which were added in this commit:
PCB version 2.0 or 2.1 (large square PCB with option for 6 connectors)
>inlretro.exe -s scripts\inlretro_inl6fwupdate.lua
PCB version 2.0N (smaller PCB with NES connector only:
>inlretro.exe -s scripts\inlretro_inlNESfwupdate.lua
Now that it's easier for the host software to detect the firmware
application version can work towards having the scripts automatically
update the device firmware for you.. But still need to implement this..
on provided prg/chr rom input args for dumping. Mirroring is sensed &
entered for fixed mirror mappers. So this is basic iNES file format.
Still don't have automatic banktable locating, nor mapper detection.
But this provides a basic header that should work with most currently
supported NES mappers. If the headers need tweaked, I recommend opening
in Mesen and using it's header modifcation tool.
included. Not making an offical firmware release, will have to upload to
INLretro6 with fwupdate call.
The colordream firmware updates are also included. But not the host
scripts, need to clean them up a bit.
