Did it work on a previous version of the menu?

[czapa86]

nope, i was testing it on previous menu version, today updated and still the same - black screen

In this case I suspect that the ROM is non compliant for what ever reason with the SC64 (rather than this menu , the projects are not the same).

On that note, it is probably that you need to manually set the "save type" or other override ROM config setting (in the menu).

i was testing every possible CIC mode without any luck. For save type it defaults to none however i will test other options and let you know. Thanks

And Oh... your description was not really clear enough. Given this is an emulator, (for which the save type has changed in the latest menu from FRAM to SRAM to ensure compatibility with the SC64). However, I thinking your issue is with https://github.com/lambertjamesd/gb64.

this is what i'm using. Gameboy saves dumper

Okay, sorry but I have to close this issue as "ED64 specific" (given that ROM was written specifically for that HW) and "not planned" as a menu feature. Make sure you check the discord link mentioned though 😉.

@czapa86 I have converted this to a discussion.

[czapa86]

ok so i tested all available gameboy saves dumpers and nothing is working with SC64. I was checking all cic, save types and even tv types.
@Polprzewodnikowy would you be able to consider developing gameboy saves dumper which works with SC64? It is quite big flaw not having opporunity to preserve saves from gameboy especially while on other devices it is possible to do so.

Check the discord thread!

This is outside of the scope of this project. Menu has nothing to do with the dumping software you're trying to use. Contact author(s) of the dumping software and ask them to add support for the SummerCart64.
