v0.57 of the SNES menu has been released: http://code.google.com/p/neo-myth-menu/downloads/list

A youtube video showing some of the improvements: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN3x74JzBi0

New in this version:

* Cart dumping support. You can dump the contents of the bootcart (the one that you plug into the back of the SNES Myth) to the SD card. I've verified that it works for ROM, and should hopefully work for SRAM as well.
See the readme for more info, because you need to put some files on the SD card for this to work.

* Added key-repeat. If you hold up/down for about half a second it will start repeating keypresses until you release the button.

* Modified the timing in the VGM player a bit.

With the new cart dumping option the SNES Neo Myth cart has a unique feature that no other actual flash cart will ever have.
Your really make the SNES Neo Myth cart shine!  ~sm-36.gif~

Excellent job mic_ , as usual.I've just made a news post about it.

@stefan_iro ,
Tthat was my thought aswell.The myth carts can do things that are impossible with other flashcarts.

There seems to be a problem with dumping ROMs larger than 8 Mbit. I'm guessing it might have something to do with the Myth register settings, and the fact that there's no documentation for them is not really helping :P

For example, it would be really nice to have descriptions of all possible settings for registers $C000 and $C017.

I tried dumping my MarioKart game, the dump seems to have worked (it runs fine in snes9x) but I cant load it on the myth :(

I haven't implemented DSP handling when loading from the SD cart yet (IIRC), so my guess is that the dump is ok and would work if you load it from flash.

cool. :)

Will it be possible in the future (soon?) to create new files, rather than overwriting the old ones?

Not likely. The smaller version of FF (PFF) which I'm using doesn't support creating new files/directories. Switching to FF would be a lot of work, so it's not something I'm planning to do.
