Hi, I noticed that it says this doesn't work on the Everdrive N8 and Powerpak, but it doesn't mention that it doesn't work on the Analogue Nt Mini jailbroken NES Core. I tried it, and there don't appear to be any graphical glitches (the scroll graphics show perfectly during the intro), but I don't seem to be able to keep save games. Unfortunately I had gone all through a chunk of the map and all of Level 2 before I found this out. Afterwards I tested it again and saved right after I picked up the initial items, and it failed again.

I looked in the folder on the SD Card, and it is generating a .SAV file, but apparently it isn't correct or something.

Any ideas if this is a fixable problem, or am I just going to have to use software emulation?

Thanks!

It's a FPGA based NES/Famicom Clone console. The official firmware for it only can load games via cartridge, but the engineer for the FPGA that works with the company also has released an official/unofficial 'jailbroken' firmware that allows you to load games directly to the FPGA cores via SD Card, without having to use a cartridge (or a device like the Everdrive/Powerpack). The coolest part is that it allows you to play a whole slew of other 8 bit systems, with extremely accurate hardware emulation via the FPGA. The manufacturer even allows you to keep the warranty when using the jailbroken firmware since it was created by the engineer, hence why it is considered official/unofficial. Here's some info if you're interested:

Regardless of all that though, I will see if I can get any more information about the issue. For now, at least I can play this on my retropie setup. I have to say, I really like it - found out about this via ProJared on youtube - and while he has some complaints and seems to be having a bit of trouble with it, I am finding it to be extremely enjoyable and well done. Thanks for all the hard work!
