Where it says USA is for NTSC 60Hz and PAL is for 50Hz. In other words all sd3 roms are running at 60Hz.

sk2_a does not seem to be PAL. It matches the nointro USA release of Secret of Mana. bsnes confirms this:

Correct, sk2_g is a German PAL version (1.0), although its crc32=9499855e does not match the verified dump of the German Secret of Mana cart (crc32=b069bb3a). Here is what bsnes shows for sk2_g:

sk2_e matches "Secret of Mana (Europe) (Rev 1).sfc" from no-intro (crc32=de112322).

The Old Rom or the one from the collection?

It's nice to see that everything went well with the dump. :)
It's always good to have these sort of things for archival purposes, more so with new ROMs not released back in the day, like Star Fox 2 and now Trails of Mana as of recent years.

Software piracy is defined as "the unauthorized use or reproduction of another's work." Perhaps you are right and that the file was legitimately purchased and dumped, but the examples of uses you provided all fall under that definition of piracy.


I just want people to admit it when they are pirating. Is that wrong of me?
I didn't say it wasn't pirating, I was just explaining why one would want to extract the rom rather than install and play the full Switch game.

Well i am personally sick of all these comments about piracy ugh

So for me i similar to star fox 2 (having played the bootleg for years and having noticed a huge difference in the quality of the classic snes version) also would like to now play trials of mana. While i have enjoyed the eshop version something i do dislike is that it is not full screen. This is a big reason id like to play in retroarch.

Don't forget to add the fact that you can play with customizable button mappings, 2x speed for tedious sections, full screen, shaders, filters for both audio/video, and the icing on the cake, cheat codes.

The title of this thread was pretty much my first thought when they announced this was being released in the US. An official English translation after all these years - awesome! Even better that it is an SFC-compatible format. Looking forward to playing it on real hardware using my SD2SNES!

So i preorder the physical Version that comes around mitte August.

Trials of mana
I Look at the Fan Translation and the New german version.
The name are different and Some name are the Same.
the Translation is different too.
The meaning of the Text is similar in both but different.

German Medien says that sd3 got some changes and i mean not the Text.
Some game mechanics are change or get better.

Got the collection (well my brother bought it since he loves the SD series) and the emulation is top notch, expected nothing less from the mad geniuses at M2 :P Trials of Mana looks pretty darn good scaled up to 1080p.

Can you provide checksums for these? I've seen various sk3_a roms floating around with different md5 checksums (c9829d76e25f8c4bf459cf77a8306825 and 8e185927037ea44e047261b20b6826bf).
The correct one has the following md5:
c9829d76e25f8c4bf459cf77a8306825
It's the full english translated rom without debug, running at 60Hz.

Alternatively, here's some SHA-1s for those of you who hate MD5:

Code:
462580125693a73da90da08d415023a885d84d1d *sk3_a.smc
d9757453fc9799ecd6780202b3f603e7ab2168af *sk3_e.smc
f0ad9af7e8dee731d2c8112d4e954e9b238032bc *sk3_f.smc
d882e706dd201f9d0c94199e3317778f14461fb2 *sk3_g.smc
6317fc3fdc99b33f73ea69bf6e9f13da02fb2e8d *sk3_s.smc

The "sound" one has been excluded because it's useless. sk3_e.smc is a debug version, sk3_a.smc is the proper English version. The others are French, German, and Spanish respectively (because these are also technically new.) This was retrieved directly by extracting the RomFs and unpacking the per-file compression.

Rom size for Trials of Mana is 6 Mbyte. It´s very easy to find with google.
The whole package looks like the picture below.

emoji16.png

Like the sn30 pro!
Works perfekct witch switch.

There are different rips at the Moment and some has error.
A clean Version can take some days

8bitdo controller is Great! Notwithstanding, you should be able to use the bliss-box to use snes controller on switch too. I have one but have yet to try it out yet. this youtube shows some other retro controllers though :)
