I'll try converting it to my SDI's native format. And that Red #9 blurb has a lot of info. To set the record straight, you can just copy ROMs in SMC format to a floppy. There is no need to convert to it's special game format if the game will fit on one disk. If it's a multi-game disk, then and only then do you need to use the special convertor program. The unit is very easy to use, unless your a complete moron. You pop in a disk. If there's just one game, it auto-boots. If there's multiple, a list of file names comes up to choose. How hard ;-)
BTW, the copier only has 16mbits of RAM. I am using Killer Instinct as a boot cart and it only detects that at 16mbits too... So maybe when it was made they didn't know bigger games existed.
