Is it physically impossible to emulate the SA-1 on the SD2NES? [NO!]

[Sarge]

Perhaps another way to think of it is like RAM.  (It's not, I know.)  You've got different modules that all take differing amounts of RAM to load into memory, so you have to pick and choose which ones to load in.  Given that SA1 would take up all the "RAM", there's no room left to load in the MSU module.

Now, substitute "RAM" with "logic blocks", and I think that gives the picture.

Also, a personal request:  there's no sense in being rude to folks that don't understand how all this works.  It might get old explaining things, but even then, we can be nice in pointing folks to the answer if it's a question that has already been asked.

On top of that, once again, I'd like to thank both ikari and Redguy (and any other folks that may have contributed!) for all their hard work.  I'm still flabbergasted that this might be possible after all.

I think that's a pretty good analogy. I'll be the first to admit that I didn't know exactly how it all worked, but that makes sense to me.

Good news that Redguy ist taking on the SA-1. I think this will take a bit longer to implement. I have one question to the tech guys here, would it be possible to split the SA-1 core? Let’s say, for Mario RPG the SD2SNES firmware uses the SA-1-1, for Kirby it uses SA-1-2 and so on. To know which core to use, it reads the header from the ROM. Just my idea after a few beers

It's probably not necessary.  Last update from redguy indicated work/time is needed to write various functions into his firmware, moreso than running out of space.

As I find MSU1 modding overrated and a huge nuisance, as long as the games work as is, with saving abilities, I'm ecstatic.

Who needs a wig for that if they always demand the light to be switched off? ^^
Anyways... you all start to talk about things again which will end in a completely different way once more.

Still no relevent comments, figures Will wait for redguyyy to comment then we will see how things are going

[goombakid]

Seeing as Redguy has done it and it has been tested by Smokemonster, I split up the topic and am now locking this thread.

Go check out the new thread HERE.
