Thanks for taking the time to look into it. Or do all DVD players have RAM? Maybe they do and I just didn't know it. Does this DVD player (or other simialr players like the one from Shinco that played Genesis ROMs or one of those NOAC VCD players that you used be able to buy) actually have some small amount of RAM that the ROM is loaded into? I guess it must since running a ROM straight of a disc wouldn't really be possible. This brings up an interesting question that I hadn't considered before with machines like this. It's possible that the reaosn the ones on there run so poorly is that that disc you have is shitty and hard to read from, like you said. I'll try packaging up a couple games into this format and sending them to you so you can burn them to a disc and see if they work on the machine. The files seem to listed in alphabetical order since the ones you sent me numbered 60-70 were all L or M games. If there's specific games on the disc that you'd like me to turn into playable ROMs, send them to me. I didn't notice anything different about Mappy or Mario Bros. I also noticed that for some reason all the Ns in the game are changed to Xs-PRESS START BUTTOX, says the title screen. The Little Mermaid hack has an opening menu screen that says EIGHT IN ONE and you can select any starting level or one of various power-up hacks, it's probably just a straight rip from some Little Mermaid 8-in-1 Famicom cart that was available at some time. I got a few of the files you sent me into proper working. So you can just chop off the first case of the PRG section along with all that extraneous stuff at the beginning that Kitsune mentioned. The only odd thing about the files is that if there's separate PRG and CHR sections of the ROM, the PRG section is there and then the ROM starts over with the PRG section again and then the CHR section at the end.
It's pretty easy to reconstruct them if you know what mapper they use and since I don't actually know that info off the top of my head, of course, there's various lists online that can be consulted. I wonder if it's actually the emulator code? Could be interesting to look at for someone who knows more about that sort of stuff than me I didn't even know this sort of stuff was possible.low level coding for DVD players? Yikes!Īnyway, the ROMs are indeed just regular.
More than I would expect if it just had to contain the mapper info and maybe a name to display in the list.
#300 GAMES CD FOR VCD PLAYERS CODE#
There's a lot of that non-ROM code in the binaries. A few weeks ago a good friend of mine showed me a link to one of these players on ebay, unfortunately the auction had ended but I decided to contact the sell to ask if he had more than the one he sold, to my luck he did and we set up a deal, US$105 for the VCD player, brand new, shipped form Singapore.So majinbuu, what is the menu like for selecting games to play? Do you browse the disc and select games with their generic filenames (G001.BIN, etc.) or do the games have their proper names when you're browsing?
I never really paid attention to these 'game players' and ever bothered getting one, well maybe because I never actually saw them on sale anywhere, though they were advertised in places such as asiansources. The first I saw, a little over a year ago, was shaped as a PSone and came with a 300 game disc, atleast that's what it said in the brochure, magazine or whatever it was.
