Hey hey!
I scored this bundle last week on eBay as i thought it was about time i had the chance to play Snow Bros on my Megadrive without the price tag!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWN:IT&ih=003
The bundle also included 2 Super Magicom devices for the SNES
Anyways, ive encountered some trouble with the Super Magic DRIVE (SMD)
I cannot seem to get any disks to load whatsoever!
Here is the setup im using, 100% correct, Megadrive all leads, SMD Plugged in with the Cable going to the external disk drive. The Disk Drive has its own power supply too... Its setup exactly!
Im using a Megadrive 1 as my Megadrive 2 has a 32x and this device doesnt work with it.
Loads up fine, got the GUI up there, all is looking good...
Ive put in a floppy disk with Sonic.smd (Sonic 1 Rom) to try things out, a nice simple rom which should work. However...
Once i try to initiate the disk drive, it gives me this message
I dont even get chance to chose the rom from the disk or anything, it makes a small disk read sound then says that message
I know for a fact that the disk drive, the disk and the power supplies are fine because the Disk Drive works on the Super Magicom (SNES Floppy Drive) flawlessly
So if im not mistaken, the problem lies within the Super Magic Drive itself.
Im pretty sure it isnt the disk im using either, ive tried others, also tried Amiga formatted disks and so on, however the same error occurs.
So does anyone have any tips? Anyone own one of these and had/not had this problem?
Absoultely any info would be greatly appreciated.
Ive had a good search online, however it seems the ratio of SNES Copier material to MD Copier Material is 999999999:1
DP You are my last hope
