Two more notes about the PCE:

#1: Some ROMs have a 512 byte header at the start of the file. You should remove the header when reading the file, otherwise the game won't run (you could detect the header e.g. by checking if fileSize & 0x3FF is > 0).

#2: If I format my card using v1.03 of the programmer, change the region to USA and add a game the programmer switches the region back to JAPAN. So I have to switch it one more time, which is a bit annoying.

When I burn GBA games to my Neo2 Lite with NEO2 Pro Manager 1.03 then the menu is displayed correctly.
But when I try to start the game it freezes: "Mark title, Please wait..."  ::sm-09.gif::


Anyone an idea what I am doing wrong?

While the NEO2 Ultra Menu V2.93 und V3.04 worked fine for me, the Neo2 Pro Manager 1.03 shows the same behavior like the former NEO2 Ultra Menu V2.95 und V2.98

After receiving my N64 Myth with upgraded core v3 (thanks to sanni), I wanted to test the new NeoN64Menu v1.2 from ChillyWilly. Unfortunatelly the Neo2 Pro Manager 1.03 shows up the well know USB Time Out Error! And not after a short while. It flashes my 1024M Neo2 Lite card for about 30 minutes and then stops with the USB Time Out Error. Whatīs interesting it stops everytime at the same percent number...

Then I tried to do a complete reformat. But after about 90 minutes the program crashes leaving a windows error message.  :'(

OK, I reformated the N64 Myth and Neo2 Lite with NEO2 Ultra Menu V3.04. Then I installed Neo2 Pro Manager 1.03 (without the .dll update) and burnt N64 Menu v1.4 to it. Now it works fine!  ;D

Unfortunatelly GBA games still refuse to start!!! Maybe someone else can confirm this?
BTW GBA  games work fine with NEO2 Ultra Menu V3.04...

About the PC Engine side.  I have the old 128 Flash Cart (no save) and whenever I bring it up on this new menu it only reads the cart as a 64M.  Has this been reported yet, or is it only happening to me?

No, I haven't noticed any bugs related to the PC-E in the latest manager besides those that I've already listed in this topic. My card is a 64M one though.

I have the same problem with my non-save 128mb card. I even tried using the Myth MD cart to format it, and still shows up as 64M. When I do write to the cart it corrupts most of the games. Using the old software everything works as it should, but I really like the updated PCE menu and can't use it on the old programming software.

I tried it with the new exe and the same thing happens. The card is recognized as 64mb card and games corrupt. I have 0 issues with the old programming software, I would just like to use the new menu is all.

I too have the old 128M PCE cart (I absolutely love this cart) and I experience the same problem with the new NEO2 Pro Manager v1.11. After the (unavoidable) format (either standard or low level) the cart is recognised only as 64M. Didn't try to flash it to see if they are flashed corrupted or not.

The old software (the one you manualy select 64M or 128M v1.1 and came with the cart) seems to work without problems. I flashed the cart full (almost 16MB) and tested all games on it one by one on my Core II PCEngine. ALL work just fine, I suppose that proves they're flashed correctly right?
