It's good that they put the header pins on this time, I hated doing those.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

TTram test going way faster with fast ROM. It's only been going a couple hours and already got to 29 passes. It took all night to do that before.

Will leave it on overnight again. Suspect it will get to over 100 passes by morning.

Going to be busy for the next couple of days now..so won't have much time for anything else.

@exxos I'll try and replicate if you'd like. Presuming the firmware is in the usual place?

Yeah the latest one is there.. it's still slow ROM version. My current build is fast ROM. I guess I should really have a jumper for that...

GB6 with BLTFIX & MAPROM running all day. (with blitter on)

Next to run GB6 again, but without MAPROM. So it hammers the physical ROM more this time.


EDIT:

Locked up on loop 14. So added another waitstate onto ROM.. trying again now :)
