0.5.2-MPA-hotfix
Bugfixes
- Save file hotfix.
- Fixes an issue that can cause the SuperCard to lockup upon loading saves.
NOTE: For ROM files with a total number of characters greater than or less than 3 as its extension, please note that your save files are either saved as
*.sa
,*..sav
,{-1 character from ROM filename}.sav
, or anything outside of what's expected. Simply rename the*.sav
file to have the same filename as the ROM and it should recognize your old save files.
E.G.
- 1st scenario: The ROM is named
Test-GB-ROM.GB
, it should have an associated save file namedTest-GB-ROM.sav
but instead itsTest-GB-RO.SAV
which is incorrect.- 2nd scenario: The ROM is named
Music-MPA-test.MPAC
, it should have an associated save file namedMusic-MPA-test.sav
but instead itsMusic-MPA-test..sav
which is incorrect.

0.5.2-DrSMS
Added DrSMS support β
- Loads Sega Master System games (*.sms)
- Support for Sega Master System Mark III (FM Audio support)
- Loads Game Gear games (*.gg)
- Can now switch between
SMSAdvance
andDrSMS
via kernel setting- The kernel prioritizes
SMSAdvance
overDrSMS
by default
- The kernel prioritizes
- β DrSMS DOES NOT SUPPORT BIOS LOADING AT ALL β
- DrSMS relies on an internal database that is not very intuitive as some ROM flags overlap with other regions
- How this is implemented on SCFW is it checks the region by checking for the ff. tags in the filename:
(USA)
,(U)
(Europe)
,(E)
,(Brazil)
(USA, Europe)
,(UE)
(Korea)
,(KOR)
- If you happen to notice a rom that doesn't function with the multi-region color encoding systems ROM flag, try changing the filename's region tag to one location only.
- For example, If region shows
(USA, Europe)
or(UE)
, replace that filename tag with either(USA)
/(U)
or(EUROPE)
/(E)
- For example, If region shows
- How this is implemented on SCFW is it checks the region by checking for the ff. tags in the filename:
WARNING:
- Be VERY careful with your SMSAdvance and DrSMS saves. They are NOT cross compatible. Be sure to back up your *.sav files before toggling emulator priority.
