I've tried it with and without the plastic clip. Same result.
Are there any CC2 owners in the Phoenix metro area? I'm in Mesa. Perhaps it would be possible to put my MMC in a known working CC2 and see if I need to reformat?

you may as well do that anyway, nothing to lose really, hope you get it sorted though

[quebedox]

I sent some pictures to Chad Schell, and I'm sad to report that the u7 chip was knocked clean off the board and a trace was damaged. I've got instructions from Chad, and the part is available, but lord help ke I don't have the skills to handle a solder job this tiny. Anyone on this board have a suggestion for who can help?

[remowilliams]

This is why RS-MMC is a must have for the CC2...

[mimo]

+1 to that

Any chance there will be another batch of these someday?

Did you ever have any luck with this? It is the same thing that happened to me a few years ago. Could you PM me the instructions that Chad sent you? Thanks!

how can i run the latest hombrews?
the don't get recognized when generating the GAMES directory

[GroovyBee]

Find out what bank switching is needed (usually specified in the game's development thread somewhere). Add an appropriate line to your menu.txt. Run cc2menu.exe (available from Chad Schell's website). Copy the newly generated menu.cc2 to the root of your MMC card and copy the game's *.bin file to the GAMES directory. Game ROMs must use 8.3 file names.

[HammR25]

Yeah, they don't work unless you put them in the menu. The manual explains how to put things into the menu. Typically I right click the game's *.bin file and see what the file size is and then use the appropriate bankswitch for the menu entry. If Pacman Plus did the game most likely the Menu line would look something like this:

Pac-man Collection PACCOL HSC 78BIOS

The first part of the entry is what you will see in the menu screen. The second entry is the file name of the bin. They're limited to 8 characters. If you download a bin with a name that is longer than 8 characters you will be required to rename it to something shorter. The third entry is the bankswitch file. In this case it's HSC because this game uses the High Score Cart like all the rest of PMP's games. For other games one can look at the list of bankswitch files listed in the manual. The fourth entry is for the bios file. The bios file entry will be 78BIOS 99.99999999999% of the time.

Once you get the menu file created do all the stuff GroovyBee said to do.
Here's a link to the CC2 page with the manual.

thanks, will install pokey and read the manual tonight

A search of the forums should find it. It'll most likely be quite out of date so you'll need to add the homebrews that you want to play manually.

I'm a developer so mine won't be of any use to you.

for example
tried to make a new menu called PPLUS with mooncresta on it

the txt is this

Moon cresta mcresta HSC 78BIOS

then converted with the utiliy to PPLUS.cc2

and copied mcresta to the games directoty
copied the cc2 files to root

but the menu does not show PPLUS ?!

[Mayhem]

The CC2 only recognises MENU.CC2, so if you want more than one menu, you'll have to rename out the old one first.
