|
|
Hi, i don't understand how to play a game more than 8mbit.
I have a mgd2 with 32mbit dram and snes + md adapters.
I use ucon to convert the game in mgd format and then split.
He gave me 2 files (ex: MD16STRA.018 + MD16STRB.018) and a MULTI-GD text file that contains MD16STRA + MB16STRB.
Now i copy this file in 2 floppies (really on a 2 usb floppy slot, i use a gotek)
Open the MGD, power up the Megadrive, in this case, with the adapters and the dram inserted and starts with the first diskette, then change the slot and load the second, i press reset and i have nothing on screen.
I don't understand what is wrong. I don't understand too the slot on adapters. I change the slot but the both adapters loading always the first file.
Someone can explain me that?
Thank you! |

When you use the switch button on the ram adapter, you change the memory slot configuration. So if you have a 32M memory card you can have up to 4x8Mbit.
Basically you have 3 slot configuration: 4x8Mbit, 2x16Mbit or 1x32Mbit so prior to loading your game, make sure you're at least on a 2x16Mbit config which means the first or the last 2 LEDs must be lit up.
As I recall the MD adapter had to be modified to run games higher than 16Mbit. Tomy might know what the mod is.
As for the SNES adapter it does not support HighRom games. I have seen some HighRom adapters for the MGD2 but I never got my hands on those so once again, any information is welcome. |

Thank you, i find the way at the end.
So the correct order is:
Power up the console and select slot a, load the first disk or file in case of gotek, after loaded you have to reset the console and change the slot to b, select the second disk and load it.
At the end, power down and then power on the console, now the 2 game disks working.
The correct order of power supply on mgd2 is adapter power cord to console, power supply to adapter.

First, you don't need to power up the console before you load the game. Second, you only change slots to load different games, so for a 16M game you light up a pair of slots then you load the game. |
