Apparently someone created an updated firmware for SD2SNES/FXPAK that adds Super Game Boy support. Haven't tested it yet, but here you go: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/493918699863015424/724437858680569936/Super_Game_Boy_SD2SNES_v1_Care_Package.zip

I've already got a Super Gameboy 2 and GB Everdrive so I'll probably wait for this to mature a bit before using but it sounds promising.

Here are the notes from the Readme:

Notes
-----
- The graphics and audio functionality is not complete. Expect graphics and audio problems.
- Cartridge memory saving to SD works. Some games use Cart RAM as a scratch pad so your SD2SNES's red light may remain lit during game play signifying periodic saving. In this situation hold down the reset button on the SNES several seconds before powering it down. This ensures the latest Cart RAM (where game saves are stored) is saved to the SD card.
- Multiplayer support is untested.
- The serial link is not supported.
- In-Game Hooks/Button are supported only with the expected sgb2_boot.bin and sgb2_snes.bin files. If setup step (4d) does not show "ok" they are automatically disabled.
WARNING: Space Invaders Arcade requires In-Game Hooks to be disabled inside the SD2SNES menu in order to work.

Briefly, on a Classic. A couple Bomberman games gave me trouble. Minor graphic glitching on GB and Collection wouldn't go past the select screen. I'll try turning off In-Game Hooks.

>> No.6541979

Until the SD2SNES Pro gets an updated revision that includes a link cable port, I'll just stick to using SGB2. No multiplayer is a deal breaker.

Didn't help. Seems that game has issues with emulators too. Other than that works great so far. I think some of the screen glitches are normal like flickering and tearing in Bubble Bobble.

Don't believe all those lies in the readme. It replicates the SGB perfectly at the transistor level because it uses an FPGA.

Yes hello, are you the manager of FPGAs? I'd like to have a word with you. You claim that your device is able to achieve highly accurate chip level emulation almost indistinguishable from the real thing. But right here I have this document from a Supa Gaemboi 2 implementation for the sd2supafamifuck pro alpha tournament edition released on discord by hentiluvr69 that states the real time clock function in the Japan only release of Super Wario Wenis: Time Fuck Trouble 4 causes the game's time keeping to get corrupted. Surely a manufacturer of such a high quality product would not make claims like this yet allow this kind of oversight to stand. I DEMAND A REFUND IMMEDIATELY!!!

I could probably do a better shitpost and get it up to copypasta snuff. I'm just lazy that's all. The person I'm mocking is retarded. Since they're arguing in bad faith arguing with them just leads to researching whatever nonsense they're spouting and explaining it to them, which is a waste of time because they're too fucking dumb to get it. Since this board dipped in quality whenever there are legit questions sometimes retards will complain about "spoonfeeding" but this sort of thing is what this term actually is.

Why does FPGA seem to be such a dirty word around here (yes, I’m aware that there’s a minority of clueless people that seem to think that FPGAs are the pinnacle of accuracy), but let’s face it - if you want a flashcart that works on original hardware, you’re either going to build it using original chips from donor carts or use an FPGA. With the latter obviously you’ve got to hope the guy programming it knows what he is doing but it’s a more realistic and acceptable prospect than butchering thousands of real carts for their chips.

It's just one or two spergs that want anything that isn't emulation on a PC running windows to die a swift death. Anything else is a "waste of money" and they will spam wojack s*y shit. In other words they're zoomy zoom zoomers.

Welcome to /vr/ how's your first summer going? Any thread that involves FPGAs quickly turns into a shitshow. At this point there's no point in trying to take them seriously. Like your cope about having to use an FPGA or butcher carts. You don't need either unless you want to play a few dozen specific games on a flash cart. For the autistic bandwagoner that's as essential as air. For the rest of the world, from hard core cucklectors to the youngest of emubabies it's top kek.

I want to play those games on my original hardware without hunting down copies of pga tour 96 to hack up. Not sure why you think that's "cope" but it's my money so honestly I don't get why you even give the slightest hint of a fuck about what I do. But that's zoom mentality for you. People like you are constantly afraid of being called out for doing something differently than the rest of the pack. Your deepest fear is not fitting in. You must enforce the norms.

>> No.6545090

>>6543509
just a problem of managed expectations
they get told that FPGAs can emulate hardware perfectly, they interpret it as FPGAs always being perfect emulation simply by virtue of being an FPGA, then when they're confronted with an example of imperfect emulation on an FPGA, they feel lied to, like what's the point then if it's not perfect?
you have to understand what makes an FPGA different to a program running on a CPU to appreciate them, and that's just too much to ask of most people

>> No.6545093

You can tell him all day but he's not bright enough to realize that the FPGA it runs on is made by Intel. Just like the CPU on his PC most likely is. He doesn't even know what a DE-10 Nano board is or where it comes from. Regardless of what you buy the same few people end up profiting so it's pointless to fight over it.

only misinformed people claim FPGA emulators are perfect
https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/wiki/Why-FPGA
from the actual creators of mister, they don't claim it's perfect. all they argue for is that;
- FPGAs make it more straightforward to design emulators more like the original systems (notably multiple chips actually running in parallel)
- they're more efficient than software emulation, you can simulate multiple chips in a single clock cycle, while with a cpu, you need many times more clock cycles compared to the original system to keep everything in sync

>> No.6545137

>>6545130
-- to be absolutely clear, there is absolutely no accuracy difference between an FPGA and a software program, both can be perfectly accurate, it's just down to how such accuracy is achieved, and how much power is needed to achieve it
software emulators typically take huge shortcuts just because they would be far too slow otherwise, it's probably the reason why this "FPGA's are more accurate" thing has come about

I don't give a fuck what you do with your parents money zoomie. When It comes to FPGA shit on /vr/ all I care about is calling out and embarrassing larpers, bullshitters, copers, and projectors in the hopes they'll get mad and go back. You fit squarely into all those categories. You pretend a few dozen games is the entire library of a console. You want to play them but you're too poor to afford them. You fantasize about making repros using original parts. And you project like a mofo. It's time for you to go back.
