coleco1981 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 This may sound like a silly question but I haven't been able to find if this is possible. Do SGM games have the ability to run on AtariMax SD multicarts when you have of course - the SGM addon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelboy Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 It depends on the game. Any game that runs on the AtariMax SD cart can potentially use the SGM. However, if the ROM is something else than a regular 32K game or a MegaCart game (such as a Team Pixelboy Activision PCB game like The Black Onyx) then it will not run on the SD cart. So in other words, whether you can or cannot play an SGM game on the SD cart depends on the type of cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 All current SGM required and SGM enhanced (but not required) games can be played using rom dumps via the AtariMax Ultimate SD Cart as long as the Opcode SGM is plugged into the CV's Expansion Interface. In the future, however, the Ultimate SD Cart's firmware will have to be upgrade and support added for new Cartidge PCBs that will include SaveRAM capabilities... all releases made by Opcode games and some by the other Homebrewers. I assume permission will have to be given to Steve Tucker for him to be able to add support for these new Cart PCBs with SaveRAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
