Bios list for the SD2SNES pro: is it complete?

[legolas119]

Hi
i would like to buy the SD2SNES Pro cart and i downloaded here the latest firmware (with bios included) and I added the bios list present in the same page: https://stoneagegamer.com/sd2snes-resources.html#chips

After that, this is the list present in the folder (see the attached file). Is it complete in order to run every rom on the cart? Or do I need additional files?  I know that only these 5 games don't work:
ST-011 games:
Hayazashi Nidan Morita Shougi
ST-018 games:
Hayazashi Nidan Morita Shougi 2
SPC7110 games:
Far East of Eden Zero
Momotaro Dentetsu Happy
Super Power League 4

Is it possible to run games like Kaizou Choujin Schbibinman Zero that need BS-X bios?

thank you

you will need BSX bios file to run BSX games

[legolas119]

Is this the file name of that bios?
BS-X BIOS (English) [No DRM] [2016 v1.3].sfc

Do I need to add st0010.bin and st0010.bin too?

thanks

[lee4]

just rename
BS-X BIOS (English) [No DRM] [2016 v1.3].sfc
to
bsxbios.bin

st0010.bin is need for F1 ROC II: Race of Champions

[legolas119]

perfect.

Sorry, typing error: i wanted to say:

Do I need to add st0010.bin and st0011.bin too?

st0010.bin is necessary. And what about st0011.bin?

thanks!

ST-011 is not supported and adding the rom does nothing. Same with ST-018.

I see you might be confused because there's an extra zero in "st0011.bin". I'm pretty sure it's the rom for the ST-011 co-processor though. The corresponding .rom file "st011.rom" does have only 3 zeroes (SD2SNES uses the .bin version of the rom though).

Momotaro Dentetsu Happy is a RAM test screen it seems

you will need BSX bios file to run BSX games

Depends on the game. THere are a number of BSX games that have patches to remove the requirement for BSX. It'll boot right into the game, and play like a regular rom.

Apparently there is an english translation for this out there already. But the developers who made it, are sitting on it for whatever reason.

Momo-dentetsu probably hangs on a RAM test screen because of the missing SPC7110 co-processor.

I don't know...this is my current updated sd2snes folder (attached). Do I have to delete st0011.bin file? In any case now i have all the supported bios files, correct?

thank you!

[lee4]

not bsxbios.bin.sfc

need be bsxbios.bin

[nuu]

Yes you have all used BIOS files plus the unused "st0011.bin". No need to delete it if you don't want to though (I have it on mine).
And yes it should be "bsxbios.bin" for whatever BS-X BIOS rom you want to use with Satellaview games.

I think the "no DRM" patch is a workaround for the limited boot count that some BS titles has. Each time you boot it will count down by one, so you can only play certain games 5 times or so. This count is probably saved in the save file for the game so I'd guess the count restarts if you delete that (the rom shouldn't be affected).
Any version should work though: Japanese original, Japanese no DRM, English original or English no DRM. You can use original if you want to see how it looks like when the count is 0 or something.

thanks guys.
Unfortunately i found only BS-X BIOS (English) [No DRM] [2016 v1.3].sfc and BS-X BIOS.smc

can I rename one of these 2 files in bsxbios.bin? In this way i change the file extension too...is it correct? Both files are 1024KB. Is it the right size of the bsxbios.bin file too?

thanks!

You can find the other roms by googling.

Yes when you decide which rom to use, make a copy of it and rename the copy to "bsxbios.bin" and put it in the SD card's SD2SNES folder.
Yes this includes changing the file extension. If Windows prompts you with a warning that you might not be able to use the file anymore, it's nothing to worry about. It's just in case you accidentally renamed a file that you don't want to rename. Renaming a file won't affect the content of the file or anything either.

Yes the rom should be exactly 1024 kbyte (1 048 576 byte), this doesn't change no matter what you name it to, so no worry.
