Will do.  I don't understand the "invalid header" error either.  I messed with the rom with a couple of utilities but I'm not knowledgeable enough to understand the code.  I can say that the MegaSD (with updated firmware) has a very good reputation for compatibility.  I have about 465 games on there, not counting Sega CD and I rarely have an issue.  Otherwise I wouldn't be bugging you.  :)  That said, I really appreciate you taking one more look at it.  And congratulation on winning first place in the jam.

Hi!

I updated this one again, if you'd like to try it out. Same fixes that I did on the other games. Really hope this one works :)

awesome.  I'll test it out right away.

Space panda is now working perfectly on the MegaSD, so as promised, I bought it!  :D  I'm curious what you did to all three of your games to fix them?  Maybe it's too technical to go into detail, but I'm glad you found a fix.

Oh you don't need to buy it! Your help has paid for it many times over.

Firstly, for the other ones, i wasn't setting up he SRAM info correctly in the header. Which is odd, cos I had it working fine in a previous game, so I assumed I hadn't changed anything.. but somewhere along the line I'd deleted it!

But for all the others, I remembered vaguely that you have to pad the game out to the cartridge size, so I wrote a little tool to do that and patch up the header. I also fix the checksum in there, but I don't think that's used by anything. At least Kega Fusion doesn't complain about an incorrect checksum now though! :)

You know, that makes so much sense... I remember one of the early versions of GunSlugs DID save my progress.  So, if you had accidentally deleted the info in the header in a later version, well that explains everything

doh! :)
