Hi!I try to play the game on my Everdrive,but can't save my name on "register your name' screen.I tried ROMs from differnt regions...Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
This is a well-known issue in emulation. StarTropics 1 & 2 use MMC6 but iNES headers conflate it with MMC3 as mapper 4 (this is what the most common dumps use). This causes the name register screen to fail as you've described. NES 2.0 headers allocate submapper 004:1 to mitigate this. The N8 Pro (not the original) appears to have partial NES 2.0 support. I don't own one myself so I can't confirm if StarTropics works properly. If you want to try getting it to work on the original N8 anyway (or just mess with other patches on accurate emulators), I've made a patch which corrects the mapper a while ago. I won't directly link it here but you should be able to find it on RHDN. Edit: Could someone check if said patch works on other flashcarts? Like I said, I don't own any flashcarts yet.
Hmm, I just noticed that there's an MMC3 patch for StarTropics on RHDN. Perhaps you should try that one out too?
