#Snes9x bad checksum error fix Patch#

I've seen plenty of translations that open up with a quick intro screen detailing who worked on the project, so I find it hard to believe that someone seeing that would be unaware that it was an unofficial modification, even if the ROM was being distributed pre-patched. I can understand the differing viewpoints on the subject, and it really is just a cosmetic issues, but I have to cast my chips in with the first school. Snes9x Tech Support and Bug Tracking bad checksum followed by black screen then nothing If you're having problems with Snes9x, or think you've found a bug, this is the place to be. However, if you're going through all the work that comes with making a complete translation then it seems like a simple matter to fix the checksum.

I guess that I can understand letting the checksum fail when it comes to minor hacks, and for just that reason you wouldn't want someone new to emulation to mistakenly believe that the original Super Mario World featured flying unicorns or whatnot. I already formatted the SD cart and copied the files to root, tried. Id either try unpatched or finding another version to patch. Note: ZSNES has a known security exploit.

I will let the checksum fail to warn the users of this unofficial modification.' I have a problem, all the games I tried to read are giving checksum error or crc error. You probably patched the wrong version (not region) of the ROM. Bad CheckSum but it will display a Good CheckSum. My (JU) version, in white text said, 'checksum OK' - both have the same problem. Used 'Super Metroid (U) ', didn't work, bad checksum.

There are two schools of romhackers in that regard - the 'I am producing a perfectly working alternative, thus I release it with a correct checksum as an official localisation should have.' and the 'Regardless everything else, I'm merely modifying a clean dump. The proper ROM should have a file name of 'Super Metroid (U).zip' and when it loads it should report that the checksum is good.
