Same thing. The XEX loader on your SIDE cart is the same program you're looking for in the U1MB BIOS. Problem is, when the SIDE button is in loader mode and the PBI is switched on, the loader on the cartridge is disabled (deliberately). You can run a disk version of the loader, though, in the meantime. Candle has posted it here and I guarantee he'll be keen to hear any feedback.

yep, not thought for XEGS...

 

do i flash Ultimate_1MB_PBI_BIOS_0.3.3 on the 32k reserved slot ?

 

If you are using The ROM Generator, Load a Ultimate1MBv2.rom, then load the PBI Update in the PBI Slot.

Save the new 512k ROM and Create a ATR and flash.

yes, they fit. just remove this "clips" at ribbon

 

You know, I hate to say it but you can shave the IDC connectors and put them in a tuxedo, but the low profile harting connectors were vastly superior, regardless of whether the cables are a standardised length or not.

If you have any problems, it's always a good start to give as much information as possible. Perhaps you could share the ATR's that give problems in your setup?

 

 

way too many ATR's failing to point each one,

 

around only 50/55% of gamebase really working

 

some even taking to the machine test screen

 

overall very disappointed with side 2,

build quality is great, the cart looks amazing

 

but seeing the videos on lotharek's site

makes you think you will get a nice/ full featured product,

 

only to receive half baked/beta buggy software on it...

 

hope it improves with time... :thumbsup:

 

for now to me

it's time to flash ultimate with mybios v2 again :)

Hmm I know the feeling where you are disappointed when something you bought does not do what you expected. There must be going something wrong somewhere. Give it some time.

 

One thing I don't understand. When I read your first post, I read that a lot of things work fine.

You also tell us that build quality is great, and that the cart looks amazing.

 

How in the world is it then possible that you are overall VERY disappointed.

Key features do work great right? The thing you want to do is a feature that is still in BETA development phase, and original SIDE doesn't even have this feature.

 

MyIDE took over 10 years to work decent... and still MyBIOS is suffering from bugs.

That's not a problem, on that side of the world is also still development.

 

I think support of Candle, Lotharek, FJC, and others (like stryker in SIC thread) is great, and helpful. I am sure they will help you, so please provide more information. I think they are REALLY interested in specific exemples of games that do not work on your setup.

 

It can only get better when you give that info.
