  • Directory cache. The first time you enter a folder, MegaSD will build a cache of files, directories and types, so the next accesses to that folder are instant load. The folder contents will be rescanned when a new file or directory is added. To force a rescan, enter the folder by pressing START instead of A.
  • Create save ram backups, so if a write fails or the data is corrupted, the backup will be loaded next boot.
  • Add Wondermega/X'Eye audio effects (Left only, Right only, Voice cancel). Only available when using the wondermega/x'eye bios cd player.
  • Add a mapper to support Game no kandume.
  • Support 4MB SMS Roms.
  • Double the size of available space for the CD RAM Cartridge. Note that if you already have files stored in your CD RAM, the space won't be increased. You must either delete your SRM file entirely from the BUP folder, or just delete all files from your CD RAM Cart in the bios memory manager. When there are no files, the space will be automatically doubled.
  • Wraparound in the game list. Only wraps if buttons are released and pressed again when reaching the first or last page. It won't wrap if reaching the pages by holding a button.
  • Add an option to remember the last selected game and directory when returning to game list.

HOW TO UPDATE

Place the firmware file in the SDCard and boot MegaSD. After the MegaSD splash, a message will pop up notifying a new software update is available. Press A button to update or B button to continue to the menu. While updating DON'T TURN YOUR CONSOLE OFF. It will take some time depending on the systems needing update (up to 1 minute), you'll see progress bars to ensure it's working properly.
