firmware version to the Firmware and Resources sections, and did a lot of little edits throughout the doc as well to standardise on Data Frog's version numbering (seems to be what most folks refer to). Added my own version of bnister's button mapping tool at their request, and changed the link in the Key Mapping section accordingly. Internally they are numbered from 0; so the ROMS section (user ROMs and settings) is 0, FC (NES) is 1, SFC (SNES) is 2, etc. I would say that almost all of the hype is because the Data Frog SF2000 is so incredibly cheap and it can still play games semi-decent.
hsp screen area (which might leave you with a lot of empty space), baking your logo into the section background (adding fake "latency" to the experience), or only partially baking your logo into the section background (which will make things look jank during the rotation animation, but perfect otherwise). To the best of my knowledge, the following image files are currently unused by the 20230515 firmware, and were probably left over from previous devices (the SF2000 shares a bit of lineage with some USB-stick devices) or development.Note that Data Frog's official firmware update/reinstallation process involves fully erasing the device's microSD card and replacing its contents with a fresh set of files - this will also erase any user-created files including saves states or user-installed ROMs. If you're using a theme that was scaled up from a 320 x 240 design base, you can clearly see pixelisation of the UI assets on the external display; a 640 x 480 based theme displays smooth assets. Other Tools:*** WARNING: As new FW updates keep getting released, some of these tools lose functionality or stop working altogether.
For a cheap device, it's actually fairly capable - most Game Boy, Game Boy Color, NES and Genesis/Mega Drive games play at full speed, and many arcade, Game Boy Advance and SNES titles do as well. If a built-in game that is referenced in history is removed from the device, the device will crash when trying to view the History screen. So for example, if you wanted the SF2000 to start up on the user ROMs/settings screen instead of Arcade, you could change this line to read 8 0 0; or if you wanted the user ROMs/settings screen to be the only screen available (e. Due to the different nature of arcade emulation compared to any of the other systems the SF2000 supports, the ROM layout for the arcade section is different as well.There are certainly more powerful devices out there, more fully featured devices, devices with better hardware, etc.
Only the left audio channel is output - the device does not down-mix to mono, which results in missing audio channels in games that expect to output stereo sound. The Y2 SFC wireless controller and the SF900 wireless controller have both been reported to work fine. Data Frog have issued some firmware updates for the device since launch; the updates have added new features (e. If you've done anything at all to the bios folder on the microSD card ( anything at all), then there's a good chance you've run into the bootloader bug - you can find the two fixes to it below. These are files that I have not yet determined what they do; if anyone has any information on these, do post about it in the Data Frog channel in the Retro Handhelds Discord server please!Note that Data Frog's official server for downloading firmware is very slow, with typical transfers taking many hours to complete as their firmware images are full images including ROM files. These files relate to the built-in game-lists under each main system; the list of games is pulled from these files instead of being built at runtime - annoying, but presumably for performance reasons. The device advertises support for arcade, NES, SNES, Genesis/Mega Drive, Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance; it also supports loading Master System ROMs.
Great Deal
