First, do I take it that Missigno255's patch that doesn't work with that Super Everdive-thingy works on "normal" emulators instead? If Higan in Accuracy Mode is really like the "real thing" that would mean that his patch would crash there, too. Missingno255, I'm wondering if you could check that out?
In any case the whole hack has been tested on Higan in Accuracy-mode and the whole thing worked just fine on my end. If it doesn't work on the SNES, that would mean we still haven't an entirely "trustworthy" emulator for romhacking yet, but...
...from what I understand, that Super Everdrive isn't exactly the real thing either, it just looks like a real cartridge, right? I'm no expert, but if this hack doesn't work with Super Everdrive I don't know if that would neccessarily mean that it wouldn't work if you get it on a cartridge for real (in which case however you have to take into consideration that this hack uses 1024kb SRAM).

I'll try to explain what I was talking about as best as I can, so bear with me.
I basically assumed that I needed to use a clean ROM to patch. That didn't work, so I tried to expand it to see if that would work. That was a no go. Then someone told me that needed a headered ROM, so I added a blank header from NSRT and patched it. It worked! But then a soon as Zycloboo talked to Mario on the second screen, the game locked up when it tried to make a message box appear.

Yeah, I'll have a look Higan and see what it does.

Super Everdrive is a flash cart that takes ROM's (Released, pirates, hacks, etc.) from an SD card and flashes them to an FRAM chip, similar to USB flash memory, except WAYYY more higher grade quality on the cartridge. There is absolutely NO emulation involved. A normal ROM of E.G. Super Mario World, will run exactly as it does from the real cartridge, on the Everdrive. Although I hadn't considered the fact that it uses 1024KB of SRAM. I'll report back if I get an answer on how much SRAM is installed for Super Everdrive.
EDIT: It has only a mere 128KB installed.
WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN
