Homebrew [DISCUSSION] New Super Ultimate Injector (NSUI)

[Vulpes-Vulpeos]

Thank you for creating thread, hope @Asdolo will take part in it.
At the moment I have a small list of games that have problems when using VC injection method.

NES:
- Afterburner - grey screen.
- Battletoads & Battletoads and Double Dragon - freeze after developers logos.
- Castlevania III - graphical glitches that make game unplayable.
- Elite - graphical glitches that make game unplayable.
- Crisis force - grey screen.
- Final Fantasy VII - grey screen.
- Micro machines - grey screen.

GBA:
- DrillDozer - injector thinks that there is no save cheap (it writes "nothing" in memory chip type field). The game can`t save properly.

Graphical glitches and most crashes come down to limitations of Nintendo's emulator. Only save support possibly comes into the injector's wheelhouse, although you might have to patch the rom too.

something very very minor nothing to worry about but even if you dont change the language and say just select the current one again it will make you restart again just something small

Can you provide MD5s of the NES ROMs you used? Or maybe their regions? PAL ROMs aren't really supported in NES VC, so I would recommend switching to VirtuaNES or RetroArch (not QuickNES) for those. Unlicensed games can also have odd compatibility because of the different mappers used.

Also, which NES VC injection method was used?:

NES Virtual Console
NES Virtual Console (download play enabled)
NES Virtual Console (Alt)

 

[RandomMan25XX]

based on my experience using NSUI, if it doesn't in the stock vc then just use bubble2k16's emulators in the tool for the injections, usee Verdana for the text as it's the closest you'll get to the official, and GBA VC is NOT emulation it's hardware virtualization

I use USA (U region) roms and "NES Virtual Console method" for single player games and "NES Virtual Console (download play enabled)" for multiplayer games.

Battletoads - I have tried all 3 injection methods and all regions. Same goes for Castlevania III.

I understand that there can be problems with unlicensed games and in general it is better to use emulators, but I am making a small collection of injections with icons looking like simplified cartridges, so list in my previous post is based on a small amount of "wasted" icons

 

[E-Block]

There are a few different values that are used:

Ghosting:

0xC0: Fire Emblem and the Sacred Stones, F-Zero: Maximum Velocity, Mario vs. Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
0x90: Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Metroid Fusion, Wario Land 4, WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$
0x80: Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island

Those are the values directly in the code.bin. Lower values = more ghosting, which NSUI flips. So to convert a GBA VC ghosting value to NSUI's number, convert the value to decimal and subtract it from 255.

Well, in theory, but currently in NSUI everything is shifted, for example if you use the max 254 it sets 0x00 instead of 0x01. So right now you would instead subtract from 254.

So, to set the above ghosting values in current NSUI, the decimal values you would use are: 62, 110, 126 (respectively)
If this behavior is fixed, then the values will be: 63, 111, 127


Dark Filter:

"Strong dark filter": Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island
"Soft dark filter": Fire Emblem and the Sacred Stones, F-Zero: Maximum Velocity, Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Metroid Fusion, The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap
"Middle dark filter" (not currently in NSUI): Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Wario Land 4, WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$

Thank you very much! I've found that Minish Cap's settings looked the best for the pokemon games.

Same problem with GBA Boktai 2: Solar boy Django. NSUI beta 27 says that there's not save type (it puts "nothing") but beta 22 puts EEPROM 64k

I would imagine that asdolo is fixing (or has fixed) that issue along with a number of others, if asdolo allows me to test beta 28 I will test the issue you're having along with a number of others I've personally encountered

 

[Hopalongtom]

Is it possible to use this to get Mario Advance 4 plus its patched e-reader levels working? My last attempts in each save format have just had the game claiming it needs to format its own save, and never getting past that screen!

It does, actually.
I've tried it before, works like a charm.

injecting it with NSUI works like a treat, even though I did kinda have it working with the original gba injector

 

[Hopalongtom]

What settings did you guys use?

 

[lordkaos]

What settings did you guys use?

for sma 4 just grab the latest beta an make the injection, it should auto fill the save chip type info, there's no need to patch the rom.

Hello everyone! I have two 3ds so I like play Download Play nes games with my family. It's a great tool. Nes games made by Beta 27 is better than Beta 26, some image problems be solved in Beta 27. But I find a new problem in Beat 27. When I quit Download Play nes games to home page in my guest 3DS, an error always happen and it auto reboot. My host 3ds is OK. It didn’t happen in any games made by Beta 26. Could you fix it? Thanks!



I have switched my host 3ds and guest 3ds. I'm sure that it's only about which 3DS is host/guest. When a guest 3ds exit, it will reboot.

Rush'n Attack made by Beta 26 and Beta27.

 

[suwei8889]

Who do you know the PPUlineCycle mean? I dump a nes VC game. And I find it in config.ini which Beta27 don't have.
"PPUlineCycle＝400 Default＝341"
What use do this vaule have?

 

[Cralex]

Anyone else having trouble generating a CIA with the error “RESULT_ERROR_DURING_PROCESS”
while making a retroarch mGBA forwarder? I was attempting to do that just now with Warioware Twisted, to see if the forwarder would support tilt controls like the standalone mGBA emulator does, but I can never get the cia to export. Thanks.

 

[Treychik]

Trying to inject sega genesis games...emulates fine, but when I try to access retroarch menu - there is some gibberish on the top screen instead of 'save state' load state, etc...i can still save and load, but it's just really uncomfortable to use (sometimes I use save instead of load )..am I doing something wrong?

 

[Bing1093]

This is a fantastic program! The only small issue I have is some of my GBC games have distorted sound (the pikachu voice clips in Pokémon yellow, and other “realistic” sound effects in some games)

Any idea if it’s fixable?
