    Bennvenn who does load of them, mostly Gameboy related was going to use this screen for his own NGPC one till the Chinese got in first so he scrubbed that. He is now developing a full size screen which fits one of the Gameboys I believe but will also go in the NGPC. Doubt it will be out for 6 months or so hence I spent £50 on this one including the bracket. Yes it's smaller but good enough especially when combined with your SD cart which I got last week :) thanks!

    Yep all seems ok now without mrq file. I think power drive only actually saves once it starts loading the next track as first time I chose a save slot then turned off and not there on restart but tried it again waiting till next stage loaded and it's fine, used 2 slots testing

     

    Pinball fantasies fine and cannon fodder. Saved and loaded couple of times. First time I ran CF I had a red jag screen of death, bit odd, its really fussy with carts but your menu was loaded etc so clearly reading ok. My jag isn't 100% though as sound crackles sometimes (real and rom) so probably related

     

    Thanks for quick fix. Firmware updates so fast!

    Ah was going to ask about reset back to the menu to avoid having to turn the Jag on and off. Saturn and Dreamcast have that useful feature. I noticed Power Drive last night can reset back to the start Menu at least.

     

    Couple of other thoughts from my 3hrs of testing (and hand pain from the pad lol) last night.

     

    Auto scroll left and right file names if highlighted and no joypad input after a few seconds

     

    How does the flashing work, is it lost on a power off? If not then how about if you hold down a certain button(s) as you power the Jag on, it auto runs the loaded Rom from last use?

     

    If the resident Rom is lost on a power off then you could perhaps write a file to the root of the SD which has the file name/path of the last loaded Rom then when the Jag is turned on and certain button(s) held down and the Menu loads, it then auto loads and launches the last loaded Rom

    Will grab it tomorrow and try although fantasies did save and power drive thought it had till I restarted. No card reader or PC at home so will look at the card at work to see if the save files give any clue. Might be a file name special character issue, they have brackets in them.

    Hi, sorry to log this, cart is great just seems to have a saving niggle. 

     

    In Power Drive nothing was happening when I would click on save player after a race, it should bring up the 3 game slots. Also at the title screen hitting C should bring up the 3 slots so you can load one but it did nothing. 

     

    I restarted the Jag and tried again, this time I could do the above and save, view save slots. Restarted the Jag, hit C at title screen, save game gone.....

     

    Pinball Fantasies has saved some high scores I got earlier on 3 tables

     

    Just tried Cannon Fodder and that has an issue, see the attached photo with error

     

    Sorry! Time for more pinball. PM me if you want my files, dir listing etc. I have got some in a sub folder but power drive in root and fantasies in folder so dont think that's the issue
