PP adapted games when run from HDD - they usually show the "box art" using a display mode where extra colours are "tricked" into existance. You will know what I mean if you've played any of PP's HDD adapted games.
On my STFM the box art displays perfectly when in 8Mhz mode, when switched into 16Mhz the image gets messed up, due to the timing being knocked out completely with the 16Mhz... That makes sense!
On this STM - stock CPU, I see the same type of issue where the "box art" screen is messed up. What was different about the STM - were later modifications done by the time we got to the STFM which means PP's technique of trying to display box art wont work?!?!
Or is there a change a mod or fix might be required to the shifter section, or a different shifter needed? This STM originally had a 512KB upgrade fitted under the shifter, I simply removed that and the wires to DRAM, and MMU, then fitted shifter back into its socket. Did I miss something there in relation to a mod need to shifter area when an old 512MB upgrade was in there?
