Didn't work on the Cuttle Cart 3. Bin2ecs produces files that only work on the BackBit. Bin2rom produces ROM files, which is what the CC3 uses.

+sfish Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 If anyone here knows, since the digital package includes game files named with the date (3/25/2024) and RC5.5, is there a possibility there will be additional revisions before the game is considered final and put on carts?

Duttroid Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Thanks for this - the game loaded just fine using JZINTV on my Mac. I am unable to get the game to run using my BackBit and INTV II. I am using the ECS file generated by: python3 bin2ecs.py -j ghostbusters_03252024_RC5.5.bin The result is a blue screen. I am having this issue with a couple other JLP titles I purchased as well (I need some time to find these titles, it has been several months since I've been able to get back to this). Is anyone else having a similar issue?

+cmadruga Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I would try showing the contents of the .cfg to the Backbit devs. It may be good for them to see how memory is being used.

Duttroid Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Thanks for the replies. Much appreciated I am indeed not using the latest firmware - I am using 3.6.7 due to a compatibility issue with obscure Sega Master System patches that I'm using after 3.6.7, but will update firmware next time I get a chance. I have been using the -j flag for many other JLP games such as Gadhlan since last summer. I believe one of the other ROMs that I was unable to launch (same effect - light blue screen) was D2K Arcade. I haven't tried to troubleshoot in a while, but have confirmed that my original cartridge of that game works.

+sfish Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 FWIW: Evie, the BackBit's developer, has confirmed that you can safely downgrade firmware. If you find that the new firmware works for your ECSes and still doesn't support your Sega Master System patches, I would let her know in the BackBit forum. She's been very responsive to reports of specific game incompatibilities. Best of luck!

Duttroid Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Thanks sfish! I have downgraded firmware in the past while troubleshooting the patched SMS roms. I updated the firmware on my BackBit cartridge to v3.8.1. Same issue with Ghostbusters. I wonder if using bin2ecs on a Windows PC would produce different results. I'll play around a bit more ASAP.

Duttroid Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I used bin2ecs.exe on Windows and am happy to report that Ghostbusters now runs correctly using my BackBit cartridge. Thanks again for your replies! I was also able to get Operation Cloudfire, another title which did not work using this method, running. I noticed that D2K also included a .rom file when I purchased, and it works just fine (I had purchased a bunch of ROMs around Christmas and lazily batch scripted all of them to get processed using bin2ecs on my Mac). I have a couple other JLP games that are not working, and have noticed that they are extremely small files. I will use the Windows PC to hopefully fix those as well. Have a great day! 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/362181-new-game-ghostbusters-ultimate-edition/page/5/#findComment-5449004 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sfish Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Excellent news! Funny, I'm using bin2ecs on a Mac, so I wonder why that wasn't working for you. Glad the Windows solution got up and running!

carlsson Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Has the bin2ecs tool been updated along with the firmware updates, i.e. perhaps Duttroid used an earlier version of the conversion tool on the Mac, and happened to download a more recent version for Windows?
