flashmasta savegame fix
#30
Okay, here's some more info...

First, a paste from an old email (2008):
Quote:It seems that the game itself must have been released on
an 8mbit chip.  Whoever ripped the game file cut it down to 4mbit.  That's nice because it saves space, but then the emulator doesn't know what size chip to emulate.  I must have looked into this a long time ago, because there was a comment in the code about DWarp being 8mbit, but it wasn't setting it properly.  I told the emu that if it loads DWarp to just be [/code]8mbit.  Then it all seemed to magically work properly.

From: https://github.com/TheFlav/RACE-NGPC-Emu.../flash.cpp
Code:
void setFlashSize(unsigned long romSize)
{
    //add individual hacks here.
    if(strncmp((const char *)&mainrom[0x24], "DELTA WARP ", 11)==0)//delta warp
    {
        //1 8mbit chip
        cartSize = 8;
    }
    else if(romSize > 0x200000)
    {
        //2 16mbit chips
        cartSize = 32;
    }
else if(romSize > 0x100000)
...

So, basically, we have a double problem. If the ROM file is only 4Mbit, then NeoPop thinks it's a 4Mbit game and the save breaks. It is, in fact, a 8Mbit game, but the Flash Masta treats it as a 16Mbit cartridge.

So, yeah. Smile

EDIT: If you wanted to "fix" the problem on NeoPop, just pad the ROM file up to 8Mbit (I guess).
