Excellent news! Funny, I'm using bin2ecs on a Mac, so I wonder why that wasn't working for you. Glad the Windows solution got up and running! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

FWIW: Evie, the BackBit's developer, has confirmed that you can safely downgrade firmware. If you find that the new firmware works for your ECSes and still doesn't support your Sega Master System patches, I would let her know in the BackBit forum. She's been very responsive to reports of specific game incompatibilities. Best of luck!

I generated my ECS the same way and it worked for me. Does your BackBit Pro have the latest firmware? The update to support the J flag is fairly recent.

I know I'm late to this game (pun intended), but I was hoping additional CIB copies of this wonderful game might be available for sale at some point. If that's possible, it would be an instabuy for me.

👀I'm keeping my eyes open waiting for the opportunity to buy.👀

I know this is a long shot request this late in the game, but does anyone make a serial cable that works with the CC3 these days? I recently obtained a CC3 and would like to experiment with using the serial connection to load games. I see the schematic on page 28 of the manual and might be able to cobble something together from that, but I'd certainly be willing to pay a reasonable price for a functional cable if such a thing is available for sale.

If anyone here knows, since the digital package includes game files named with the date (3/25/2024) and RC5.5, is there a possibility there will be additional revisions before the game is considered final and put on carts?

I hadn't considered that, so I just installed the most recent CC3 editor for Windows, pointed it to the game's bin/cfg file and it created a new ROM. Unfortunately, that didn't work either.

FWIW: I also tried a bin2ecs conversion using the CC3 flag and then changing the resulting file extension to .ROM. Didn't work on the Cuttle Cart 3.

My GBUE Digital Package arrived late yesterday and I've had a chance to test it with my two flash carts. A bin2rom conversion of the provided bin and cfg files does not work with the Cuttle Cart 3 (no huge surprise), but a bin2ecs conversion with the J flag activated does work with the BackBit Pro. It showed all the graphics, played all the audio, allowed me to input my name and account code, and allowed me to select my vehicle, add accessories, and capture my first ghost. I do not have an ECS to test its features, but I'm optimistic it should work.

Was this acquired through special arrangement or can we now assume email distribution for participants are already underway?

Love it so far! Can't wait to see how this continues to improve and expand.

This has to be one of the hardest choices across these categories. All exceptional games. Well done, developers! 👏👏👏

I'd also add these internal shots for LNC 8K and these photos of the Tron Anthology extras:

Can't wait to see if my digital copy works on my Cuttle Cart 3 and BackBit Pro!
