Have now confirmed that no resource files changed with the new October 7th/1.7 firmware, so have updated the tables in the Resources section to reflect this. Also added a reference to `detyn`'s Battery Meter Fix tool to the FAQ on stuff new SF2000 owners can do.
Looks like there's a new official firmware version out, and it's got a critical bug with SNES save states - avoid this one!
Updated the tools I host to support the new firmware, complete with warnings about it. Also updated the main Github document with the first details about the firmware, more will come later when my own download of it has completed.
Updated CFW FAQ with the latest details, and did a little re-arranging of existing info. Changed several links to Data Frog's YouTube firmware update process to links to the Firmware section instead, as that section has more information about other options for firmware updates (e.g., Tadpole). Added links to `dteyn`'s SNES fix tool, and information about `bnister`'s discovery as to why SNES games had to be launched twice for full speed.
Updated CFW FAQ with the latest details. Corrected a detail about the relationship between arcade `.zfb` files and the `.zip` files they point to (thanks `.ericgoldstein`!). Added a note to the Firmware section about the official firmware update process wiping the microSD card, and a note to the Save States section about how to back up game saves (thanks for the suggestion @uli42! Closes#10). Added a simple firmware version checking tool, so that folks don't have to use the boot logo changer to check (which always seemed clunky to me). Added a link to `dteyn`'s silent sounds pack. Fixed some small typos.
Updated CFW FAQ with the latest details. Added some additional references to Tadpole, and added credits for `jasongrieves_02643` who has been doing a lot of recent development work on the tool lately. Updated the CPU section to reference the fact that the CPU clock has been increased in the latest firmware. Added links to `iq_132`'s Bluetooth mod. Added a section about the `.zfb` files used in the arcade section. Rearranged the details in the Bootloader Bug section to hopefully make things a bit clearer.
Added note about `bnister`'s CPU clock bump discovery to the Firmware section. Added link to `dteyn`'s new background music tool to the Sounds and Tools and Links sections.
Added links to `Detyn`'s new Battery Meter Fix tool to both the Battery section and Tools and Links. Updated the custom firmware FAQ with the latest progress notes.
Updated the "quiet A/V sound" FAQ with details about the fix in the `08.03`/`1.6V` firmware. Updated the "in game saves don't work" FAQ with details about this apparently being fixed for GBA in the `08.03`/`1.6V` firmware.
Added a `MicroSD Card` section to `Hardware` to provide some detail about the SF2000's slightly unusual microSD card situation. Added detail about the `Neo Geo Unibios Menu` discovery to the `Arcade` section (thanks `nanchon18#2262`!). Updated the custom firmware FAQ with the latest details. Updated the "what modding can I do" FAQ to strongly suggest fixing the bootloader bug before doing any other modding to the device; also added a note that the Tadpole tool can perform a lot of the modding tasks. Added a note to the `Battery` section about the SF2000's poorly calibrated power monitoring curve, along with a link to `dteyn`'s SF2000 Battery Level Patcher script (also added a link to that in the `Tools and Links` section). Data Frog has now officially released the `August 3rd`/`08.03`/`1.6V` firmware, so added that to the `Firmware` section; also updated all of the tables in the `Resources` section to include the new firmware. Finally, renamed this `Version History` section to `Document Version History`, to help prevent any confusion in regards to what the version numbers in this section refer to (they're not related to firmware).
Updated the custom firmware FAQ answer with the latest progress notes. Replaced the bootloader bug FAQ with a more generic FAQ covering the main situations under which the SF2000 fails to boot correctly. Added a brief note on the mysterious new `August 3rd` BIOS that has started appearing on some newer devices.
Corrected that gpSP Retroarch core demo does indeed have sound (but it's stuttery/crackly). Added a new FAQ about where to ask questions. Updated the Audacity steps for custom sound creation with some additional detail.
Just removing some formatting from headers; the HTML IDs being generated by the Github theme don't match the format being generated by my IDE for the TOC, breaking the links. This is why we can't have anything nice.
Updated FAQ about custom firmware with latest details. Moved "what can I do" bullet point about custom themes to its own separate FAQ to make it easier to find, and added more details about how to actually _install_ a theme.
Added a FAQ about slow SNES games. Updated details of CFW development with the latest status. Added a link to the discovered SDK. Added a link to `Zerter#4954`'s new theme collection site. Added a link to the Tadpole tool by `.ericgoldstein`.
Was incorrectly pointing to an old `rmapi.png` file which is no longer accurate for current firmware versions, now pointing to `rmapi.tax.png` - thanks `davyper`!
Turns out the SF2000's NES ROMs contain an "iNES" header, which No-Intro doesn't like; stripped the header now, and compared against the "headerless" DAT - thanks to `osaka#9664` for the tip!
Added a new tool for extracting and creating SF2000 save state files. Also added details to the main page about the save state file format, and about the mysterious arcade `.skp` files
