Trew Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 T-tris works with 1.6. it's the "Tetris" ROM that doesn't work. I tried three different ROMs, and couldn't get any to work on either the SD card OR Handy... do you have a ROM that works on emulator?

GadgetUK Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Which "Tetris" ROM - its not the (B) ROM is it - which indicates bad! I don't have any version of the "Tetris" ROM that isn't bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I'll have to take a look on my computer on Monday. Why include a ROM on a ROM set that doesn't work on anything? Lol. I may as well put an n64 GoldenEye ROM on the and say oh it's a bad ROM! At any rate, at least T-Tris works and is good! Thanks for helping look into this people 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Because some emulator sometimes work with bad rom. Slightly bad dump have been "fixed" by emulator that expects specific bad rom but consoles are not emulator, it needs perfect dump to work right.

When testing I finally got around to deleting over 70 ROMs marked as bad with the (B1), (B2) suffixes in the filenames. There's literally no point in keeping them for the Lynx as the Lynx won't run them due to checksum / decryption problems. They don't run in the emulators either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 You can also delete all the o's if you have working dupe. O are overdumps, basically a 128k ROM that was dumped as 256k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krip316 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 So I finally got my SD cart(Chicago customs SUCKS!) Fired it up and this happens.... Ok so far. Then this..... It stays like that and does nothing I got it to work but as you can see I have to seat it at a slight angle Ideas???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GadgetUK Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I wonder if you have a misaligned pin in your Lynx slot? Have you tried cleaning the card contacts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SainT Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 The only issues I have seen like this are solved by just cleaning the cart contacts. It may require some reasonably vigorous physical cleaning, though, if any superglue vapour has got onto them. Use a Brillo pad or very fine sandpaper (very very gently with sandpaper!) or something followed by good clean with solvent of some kind. If I ever get any odd issues like this, it solves it without fail with the gold edge carts. The solder finish doesn't seem to suffer with this problem, interestingly... But of course I always test with the same Lynx. We have heard of issues specific to a given Lynx, so that can't be ruled out. But I'd start by blaming the cart contacts.

7800fan Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I also get insert game on power on before the SD cart logo shows up. But mine seems working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SainT Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Yeah, that is normal. You will always see insert game message before the menu is loaded onto the SRAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krip316 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 So, the issue I was having was with my brothers Lynx. The Lynx contacts just need a good cleaning. He plays way more than I do. I put it in mine, works just fine and all the roms I tried work, even homebrews are good so far. Just one tiny annoyance, I love the preview images, but when they display, I wish you could just see the image, but keep scrolling without it stopping you for a couple seconds. Kinda bugs me but I'll get over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Level42 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Uh-oh..... My SD card only shows "INSERT GAME" permanently all of a sudden..... I have a feeling it has something to do with the SD card connector....it feels very sloppy.....like it's not making any contact.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Level42 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Uuuhhhhhhh.......uhhhhhhh.......kindly ignore my previous message. Works fine. No.......not gonna share here what went wrong..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SainT Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) I only get this in 2 circumstances -- 1) Dirty card edge 2) Dirty memory card connector either on the memory card itself or on the cart Cleaning the card edge is easy enough. An age old tradition! For the memory card connector I will cut some reasonably fine sand paper (like 240 grit) to the width of the memory card and shove that in the hole and pull back and forth a couple of times.

No.......not gonna share here what went wrong..... Lol, no problem. The above advice is useful to anyone seeing this problem. Oh, and dont forget to clean the actual memory card contacts too! I've had that also fix the problem. And one more final thing.... make sure the menu.bin is on the memory card. On occasion I've put in the wrong memory card or something and wondered why the bloody thing wouldn't boot...

Level42 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) Hey SainT....... I'll add one more thing that should be really on top of the list of things to look for if you keep seeing "INSERT GAME": Insert the cartridge the right way round.... But I blame you for making it possible to fit both ways !!! Edited August 22, 2016 by Level42 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Level42 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Well with the Lynx PCB out in the open it's very easy to insert it upside down on the Lynx I It doesn't do any harm of course.... except to my ego..... LOL !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitari Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Haha I got it straight away about inserting the wrong way round! But I still get that wrong almost every time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I made that same mistake the very first time I tried Lynx when I first got it. Didn't RTFM and slipped in the game and nothing worked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krip316 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I'm having some strange issues with Raiden. As you can see in the photo, it appears on the right images are getting all mixed up and it eventually crashes. Some times it fills half the screen. It doesn't always do this, but it seems to be getting worse? I've done all the usual; clean both contacts, restart, reinsert, blah blah blah. I've checked all the rom sites. Same rom. I see mine is a "CES version". Is there a different one out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
