Ok this morning I was cleaning up and dropped a wooden box of games onto the floor, unfortunately it fell onto my Racing Gears Advance GBA cart thus rendering it unplayable.

Oh well at least I can play it on my M3 CF...I can't, tried many combinations but it won't run. Anyone got it going? I'd hate to only play this via emulation.

I have the same problem using a G6 lite. I love the game but I can't play it, I get a white screen, it's funny because I had an old EZF Advance card and it played smoothly, I don't get it.

if anyone can help, thanks.

Try running it without enabling any of the extra options like in-game save states and compression.

If this doesn't work, after doing the above, try replacing the rom that was put on the g6/m3 with the clean rom. This may cause saving issues though, I'm not sure.

Try using different options in the "ROM Patch" tab in the U-Disk Manager.

You might also try using GBATA to apply the SRAM patch, the game works on my EZ-Flash 3-in-1 after patching it with GBATA.

is there a ips patch file for that game ? where can i find it ? or is the gbata tool enough to patch it ?

thanks

    I haven't been gaming for such a long time. Been mostly busy with sleep, hardware tinkering and checking GBAtemp frequently.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Hope you've had a good morning.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    It's going alright thanks :) I know what you mean with gaming time. It's precious where I can get it these days.

    I think that's why I focus on just enjoying single player experiences that aren't too competitive
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    How are you doing?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    There's also this thing where I'm hyperfocused at night and cannot get to sleep.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, I'm doing alright, thanks.

    That must be rough. Productive I'm sure but hard to balance with daily life

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.

    @Maximumbeans, I had a friend who had a glass chess set for their birthday.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It was like all clear and fancy. Tbf I'm not too experienced with chess, but would like to learn someday.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    That sounds really cool
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    I know the basics but no strategy at all :rofl:
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Watch chess streamers on Twitch and you'll pick up a thing or two.

    Not to mention there's an infinite number of chess games for every possible platform.
