    Homebrew SCFW: Custom Firmware & Kernel for Supercard

    Not really conversion. More of extracting and replacing the save data (Should work on any firmware). I spent some time looking it up, but I haven't made use of it yet. When the time allows I'll check GoombaSav and provide a tutorial once I'm familiar with it. Yes, you can replace the firmware...

    SuperFW: a custom firmware for Supercard

    Looks like you've used the hint I gave on SCFW Issue#19. Good job! :)

    Hardware Homebrew Misc Firmware for GBC flashcart?

    Thanks for reporting! It's not feasible to buy all the clone EDGB's out there so those with big wallets and a thirst for "adventure" greatly help here. :)

    I may have found a repro cart where I can add a battery to keep the saves, Need help

    That's definitely moddable. If you want to convert that for SRAM compatibility, you need to replace the linking resistor(resistor 0) with a D2 SMD diode, have another D2 SMD diode on D2, and add the missing SMD capacitor on C1. As for the resistor, you need a 10 kOhm smd resistor(code 103). I'm...

    Homebrew SCFW: Custom Firmware & Kernel for Supercard

    Batteryless patching is N/A. The Supercard Mini SD / Micro SD variants have SRAM chips. The same cannot be said for the the original Supercard SD and the Supercard lite micro SD. Manually, yes. That's the expected behavior. If using automatic saving, you're supposed to reboot back into the...

    Homebrew SCFW: Custom Firmware & Kernel for Supercard

    The Supercard MiniSD / MicroSD should work out of the box. If it can run stock firmware then it can run this custom firmware as well regardless of version. Some have reported that it doesn't work on their GBA's (AGB-001 specifically) but it appears to be a case to case basis. For others, wedging...

    Supercard sd not showing games

    Your SDCard is malfunctioning if those directories are constantly appearing after formatting, deleting files/folders, augmenting the card contents, etc... I had this happen to me when I tried formatting an SDCard and then have the SD card reader/writer disconnect itself, which obviously is out...

    Homebrew SCFW: Custom Firmware & Kernel for Supercard

    This has been tackled in the thread already, those games require another type of patching that's not yet integrated in SCFW. Games with the "INCREASE ROM SPEED" feature aren't supported unless its patched out You have to use the official SuperCard patcher(v2.71) to remove some ROM features...

    Homebrew SCFW: Custom Firmware & Kernel for Supercard

    This barely narrows down what the issue is. Can you be more specific? I can only make assumptions due to lack of information, but just in case... You may have flashed the firmware, but you forgot to install the kernel. You can either read the very first post or click the hyperlink. As for...

    Hacking Guide - How to convert YouTube videos to Game Boy Advance ROM files

    Meteo always complains about the output ROM size when it exceeds 32MB. T'was developed that way since the largest known capacity for a GBA game cart at the time is 32 MBytes. Unlike now where the bootleg 369-In-1 gba multicart sports a whopping 256 MBytes capacity. Basically, you need to tweak...

    Hardware Misc GAMARS GP-1005 32-bit console (PS One clone)

    Yup, had to look for the box. It does say that it's a "simulator", but knowing that it's a device from 2011 I wonder if it's possible to dump the BIOS files of this thing. That's the only part that would give it value (for me :P)

    Homebrew SCFW: Custom Firmware & Kernel for Supercard

    sclite units are supported under the pre-release builds ONLY. I don't have an sclite, myself, but @Apache Thunder helped out and the pre-release builds starting HVCA-B onwards should work on those devices. @edo9300 also assisted with the project and added flashing support for the sclite...

    Hardware Misc GAMARS GP-1005 32-bit console (PS One clone)

    Ever heard of the Gamars movie card? Turns out that the same group also made clone consoles. I found no documentation of this at all, but I found an early(?) PS One clone that has an in-built ODE( kinda. Reads those old fat SD cards) . Uses actual PS1 / PS2 controllers. Uses onboard flash...

    Hacking GBA Super SD Card not working on AGB-001

    Interesting find. My AGB-001 is using the AGB-CPU-02 board/variant. It has a 40-pin connector for its LCD and has no issues with the SuperCard SD/microSD. I can use it with either AA batteries or Type-C rechargeable battery pack and it can boot the flashcart without fail.

    Homebrew MusicPlayer Advance: ID-ing compression algorithm from 2003 homebrew

    Thanks for the suggestion, but I think that somehow narrows it down. Much like what's mentioned in my last comment, there IS a multitude of compression algorithms/codecs. Here's a small snip of a few ADPCM formats so far. I'll take a look via trial and error to see which ones NEiM0D has...
