ROM Hack Sonic 2 XL romhack on r4 card / JenesisDS?

[tetsuo1981]

Hi all
Desperately trying to get this romhack working on my r4 (clone I think). Using a .bin file and JenesisDS not finding it. Any ideas if or how I can repair it / make it work? My 4 y/o is Desperate!

Cheers

How big is the ROM after patching? Heavily patched ROMs are often a lot bigger than the original game. JenesisDS only supports ROMs up to 3MB because of the DS' RAM limit. I don't recall if larger ROMs are supposed to show up on the menu or not, but maybe that's your issue.

Did you post this question to the 3ds forum instead of the DS one because you're using the R4 card on a 3ds? If so, you should just hack the 3ds itself (assuming you haven't already) and use a 3ds-mode emulator. That way there's no 3MB limit, plus you'll have the full Genesis resolution.

@Sweater Fish Del You're right, I am using the R4 in a 3DS, I tired the rom in my ancient supercard and it didn't work and was hoping the the R4 would. I'll try a 3DS specific emulator and see how it goes. Cheers mate
