Hey everyone I made a video showing the glitches in action

https://youtu.be/PGMqmqmHQVw

And a link to the Swap Bin adapter I have posted on Nintendo Age
http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=155705

I have a few extra 32k SRAMs that I could try replacing the current one on the board if you think that might help.

I'll check the wiring of the adapter when i have some free time. It is an adapter made by muramasa (think that's how you spell it) I figured if it was wired wrong it would not load at all.

No famicom to test it on but i should have a US EWROM board i could try also.

Also will try removing the battery and can also try relacing the SRAM.

OK did a little more testing

pins 57 and 58 are not connected together on this adapter, I got continuity from the 72 pin edge to the right pins on the MMC5.

It seems to start as more RAM is used for saving. I bridged the battery to completely clear the SRAM, played through Mario 1 and the level select worked. I started playing through Mario 2 J creating saves on each slot and again at the 4th slot I always get luigi even if I select mario.

I then went back to Mario 1 and tried the level select again and this time when I hit B it stops at 2-1 again but this time when I start the game I start on level 2-2 and 2-2 does load.

Also on the Mario 3 water glitch it also happens on a few of the level in world 3, Mario and the enemies are in front of the water instead of behind it.

I can test a new RAM chip later right now gonna eat then head to the gym

OK I replaced the SRAM chip and was still able to reproduce it.

With Mario 1 it seems to happen once I have more than 1 save is created, played through file 1 and the B button worked fine to select a world.

Then started playing files on Mario 2 J, made a save on file 1, then 2, 3, then when I select Mario on file 4 I still start as Luigi.

Next I went back to Mario 1 started file 1 and the B button was still working to select a world. I started file 2 did save and quit then went back to file 1, started pressing B and it stopped at 2-1 again. Pressing start started me on 2-2.

I also through my original SRAM into my EPROM programmer and did a test on it and it tested fine.

If you want me to make a longer video showing my full process I could do that also

Pin 57 and 58 on the NES side are connected to pin 48 and 49 on the Famicom side, they are separate connection and not bridged together. I know the person that designed these adapters made them for the purpose of making cheaper MMC5 carts.

I have not tried the US EWROM board yet, might try it later today.

OK playing on Nestopia 1.45 I was able to reproduce the same bugs with Mario 1 world select and Mario 2J file that I got while playing on my MMC5 cart, using 4/11/2017 patch

Here is what I did:
Started Mario 2J file 1 as Luigi save and quit
Started Mario 2J file 2 as Mario save and quit
Started Mario 2J file 3 as Luigi save and quit
Started Mario 2J file 4 as Mario but still got Luigi

Next moved onto Mario 1 file 1, used the warp pipes in 1-2 to skip to level 4
used the warp pipe in 4-2 to skip to world 8
Completed world 8 and the world select worked as it should, able to select any world by pressing B, selected 8-1 confirmed the goombas were replaced with busy beetles then save and quit
Started file 2 and did a save and quit right away.
Loaded file 1 and pressed B and the level select stopped moving at world 2-1, I pressed start and it did load level 2-1 but it was the first quest with the goombas.
Did a reset from the emulator menu
Deleted file 2
Loaded file 1 and the world select was working properly again

Mario 2J save glitch seems fixed.

Playing on NEStopia I still have the issue with the Mario 1 level select glitch, is there a different emulator I should try?

I made a video showing my playthrough and what happens when I try to select a world after completing the first quest

Cool I'll give the ROM a play through on an emulator if goes well I'll test it on my cart

I'll give it a try when you put it out

Last patch played perfectly

Everything seems to play fine on NESTopia.

I have the EPROMs in the eraser right now going to test on a cart later on

Might work if you enable the channel on a HiDefNES. I have one but am pretty bad at SMB2j
