Description
The UltraMSX2 emulator was designed to run MSX/MSX2 ROMS in the N64. It is one of the recognised emulators for the N64 as found here: https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Emulators_on_Nintendo_64
This Emulator does not seem to be officially supported by N64Flashcart or by the summercart64 firmware. Can this be a feature considered for future release?
Info on the UltraMSX2 emulator can be found here: https://www.zophar.net/consoles/n64/msx2/ultramsx2.html
Release Context
It is not available on a pre-release or the current release.
How to solve the problem
I would like either of two outcomes to occur:
-
For the N64FlashCart and SummerCart64 to be able to recognise the UltraMSX2.v64 emulator file in the Emulator menu folder and be able to run MSX/MSX2 ROMS placed elsewhere in the SD directory on the N64.
-
For the N64FlashCart and SummerCart64 to be able to recognise and play patched MSX/MSX2 ROMS in the .v64 format as outputted by the UltraMSX2 emulator on the N64.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I have tried implementing the two methods above in the previous question on my own, to no luck.
Additional context
I’ve heard that there may be checksum issues with the patched .v64 files that output from the UltraMSX2 emulator that may affect its ability to play on the N64. I have not verified this. This may explain why these patched files may work on Everdrive64 (which can skip or fix on-the-fly checksum errors) and not on the SummerCart64 (which doesn’t to my knowledge).
