Hello all,
I am new to NESMaker, and to begin with I started playing with my newly purchased "INL Retro" Dumper-Programmer. I have been practicing dumping rom from my original NES cartridges, and playing them on my PC using NEStopia. Then I began trying to learn how to flash the dumped ROMS onto an NROM purchased from InfiniteNESLives as well. After some frustration with the coding in the nrom.lua script, I was also successful in writing the dumped ROMs to the NROM Cart using the "INL Retro" Dumper-Programmer (I have tried two of my owned games, Duck Hunt and Hogans Alley). To verify everything worked correctly, I would dump the flashed ROMs to my PC and ensured they also played on the emulator NEStopia as smoothly as the original. I even compared both the original dump and flashed dump ROM files in HxD to verify they HEX codes were identical.
I had though I had achieved success. Unfortunately, the flashed cartridge will not load in my original NES Systems (I have 3 and it did not work in any), while of course the orginal cartridge runs fine. Would anyone be able to provide any information on why this is? Both the original Cart dump ROM and the flashed cart dump ROM, play the same in NEStopia, and are identical when compared in a HEX editor, but the flashed Cart does not load in the NES System.
I may try to take my flashed NROM Car tdown to the local game store to see if it will load on a Retron System.
Any suggestions or ideas?
