That's really something.
Opens up a lot of possibilities!
Also works without the [RomHack] block, for some reasons.
It won't pass the nintendo title screen if it's there, whilst the Japanese version won't work at all without the [RomHack] block :huh:

I will try some more, like perfect dark, which the JAP version seems to work (but something stops me to play in main menu)

I wonder, could the Snes VC games be edited in anyway, like say adding filtering and forcing a fake widescreen setting?

Again, I had to use the Japanese ROM header :P

There is no settings to be found in SNES/NES VC files, so I can't say if it would ever be possible :(

I'm curious, has anyone dived into more Snes hacking, i.e changing headers or settings to see if more games work under 4 MB, etc?
Well, you have the SNES VCs... ;)

You know what to do ;)

Right, but there has to be more than meets the eye when it comes to these, I wonder if the ROMs being headered or headerless makes any diff.

This, is what you'll have to discover :)

Huurgh, that pisses me off that 5.5.0 kernel exploit is private between those who aren't "idiots"

*Idiots, all end users like you and me :(

Updated and did more Snes ROM testing, Super Metroid seems like a very good base and is seemingly more compatible than Donkey Kong Country, since the list has grown, I'll post
it here ^_^

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zkEVeulpUzFIC7Qqeset45WVeiHPnINMkEwo1TnzMds/edit?usp=sharing

I really wish we could figure out why some bases work better than others, why games are missing ADSR and other S-SMP related aspects. I don't know how one could investigate them.
Is any Yoshi games working if u can test out. I'm waiting on the spoofed from crediar to come out so I can purchased the super metroid game.Thanks in advanced.

yeah you can pretty much lay the blame on those who proved the dev's concerns that access to exploits on the latest FW would just lead to BS trolls thinking they are l337 h4x0rz because they can cheat on mario kart :rolleyes:

as much as i wish there was a way of vetting people and keeping trolls out, its a technical impossibility, once they start sharing with some people you can be sure someone would end up leaking it or trying to pass it off as their own work or one of the trolls slips through the net and gets a copy.........so yeah unless some other dev comes along that doesn't give a crap about people screwing up online play or burning exploits for the sake of some short lived fame we just have to be happy with what we have :yayu:

Uh, I was tired yesterday...yeah, that's it. I think? Sorry. Trying to figure out more about the VC, how it works, why some games work and not others, regardless of their size.

No, none of the special enhancement games work via VC injection for one reason or another, even though the games themselves are relatively small.

I'm on 5.3.2 and I have DK64 VC as well as Some GBA VC. sadly I didn't get any NDSVC but quite frankly I do not care since I have a DSTWO. I just want to say awesome work to those that have figured this out and continue to make progress. It's cool seeing the 3ds scene advance in over 8 months and now the WiiU scene is taking off as well. just need my ps4 to fall into that same category xD...again great work to everyone behind this

I'm guessing that means you've tried StarFox as well?

I have, but even SA-1 (Super Mario RPG), Cx4 (Mega Man X2 and X3), S-DD1 (Star Ocean) work...heck, none of the games with enhancement chips work via injection, so yes, I've tried Star Fox, but the fact other games with the chips don't work is baffling. Who know how Nintendo coded their emulators, I don't know how until there's some way we can dump and extract Wii U VC wad files.

In fact, I've a list of games I've tested on post 292 :P
