FXPAK (SD2SNES) / Re: Assistance in setting up Super Gameboy

Turns out as I suspected - it was a noob error/fault on my part.... tried another TV, another cable (Composite and RGB) and then tried another card. On trying another (non-Sandisk) card I uploaded a different rom file to test, but the rom had a lowercase ".gb", and all my roms that I have had were all saved with an uppercase ".GB".
I did read the readme of the original SGB firmware where it advised it could read roms with the extension of ".gb", and I recall at the time thinking, I wonder if it's case sensitive.... nahh - doubt it.
Well, turns out me test rom I had with a lowercase .gb booted up no issue!! Copied a bunch of other roms I have to the SD card, "renamed" them with a lowercase ".gb" and hey-presto - they all booted up! I feel like a right muppet!!
I'm now learning about the "rom pack lists" and how to manage my roms to make them in a decent structure and all compatible with the lowercase .gb extension, and it's going great - was able to upload a bunch of roms to the card and have played them all without issue.
Thanks to those who came to my help with some ideas - always remember to cover the basics! haha!

Reading that reminds me of the good ol days when I noticed a lot of GB roms were actually GBC and had to rename them and vice versa be it public domain games or demos or just intros and endings (Think they were what you would call a rom that had a trainer like text program and nothing much else) ah good times when I finalized the EDGB final version back then ^^
