Ah, that makes perfect sense. Hacked roms changed the ROM title frequently, so that they could be separated from the originals when loaded onto a flash cart.

I always laugh a little when a hacked ROM in an emu complains of a bad checksum.

It would be really useful if Ndless could expose the OS's contrast variable somehow, so I would be able to grab the initial contrast accurately (and either set that variable to a new value before exit or use it to restore the contrast)

But isn't the 900F0020 contrast I/O port read & write?

Hmm, I was under the impression that it was write-only (but this is also the CX we're talking about, so there could even be a difference there). I guess I would have to test it out.

Code: [Select]
#Pokemon Light Platinum
game_name = PKM LP
game_code = WESF
vender_code = 29
flash_rom_type = 128KB
Added this entry to the txt file, replicated the Ruby rom (since that was the base for the modded rom), still white screen. What am I doing wrong? :/

Just to make sure, what is the size of the .sav file generated for the game?

128k, just like the modder said it would be. Here is a link to the download page for the rom file so you can mess with it.

EDIT: Annoyingcalc noted that rom files aren't allowed in posts, so I posted the file to the .ips, but it's very easy to find the complete rom file on the same site not far from it.

Linking to roms here is against the rules only do .ips files
This used to contain a signature.

Just fixed my original post so it links to the page with the ips file, but it's very easy to find the rom file on the same site. Thank you for your help calc84maniac

Been watching this thread carefully. Any word on why the rom won't work?

Probably some compatibility issue, since it's not a perfect emulator and doesn't even come that close. I really have no time or motivation to debug some hacked ROM (plus I didn't even write the gpSP emulation core in the first place)

And by the way, Advance Wars runs more or less good with the grist version released. But I ever don't sens any changes with Overclocking...

For Advance Wars, I can't run the campaign. It immediately goes back to the startup screen with Gameboy and nintendo at the bottom. If I try again, then usually my calc reboots. D: Right now I've been playing war room.

If this emu runs anything like gbcnspire, it probably handles overclocking internally. Makes sense, since you can use the precise timings to avoid framerate limiters.

This is a false statement on all levels :P
