Thank you :-) If you encounter problems with it in the future let me know and I will try to fix it as soon as possible.

Hi, it did work flawlessly.

Congratulations on a great tool, which is much more than I expected.

By using one of the SNES conversion options (See "ucon64 -snes -help|more"). I suggest to use -swc. The SWC format is an uninterleaved format and the header contains a "magic" number so that a file in that format can be easily identified as a SNES ROM dump.

I'll try ucon64, I'm not afraid of command line tools.

Thanks a lot

Yes, September the 1st.

Do you have an approximate release date? :D

I suggest uCON64 (http://ucon64.sourcforge.net), of course. Perhaps you'll find NSRT (http://nsrt.edgeemu.com) easier to use. That will probably change once I finish the first version of my uCON64 frontend.
You can remove a header with the option -stp. Please note that -stp removes the first 512 bytes, regardless whether a header is present or not. BTW giving your SNES ROMs a correct header is perhaps a better idea.
Don't forget to make a backup of your current set before modifying it.

I see. Which is the best tool for removing snes rom headers?

Thanks

What can I say? The file wasn't detected as a SNES ROM dump, but the plug-in calculated the right CRC32 value nevertheless, hence the Ok. The SNES plug-in produces the first part of the message, RomCenter produces the Ok.
The most likely cause is that the files you get this comment for don't have a correct backup unit header.

Hi,

I ocasionally get the above message while checking some snes roms. It doesn't bother me because the rom gets the green flag anyway, but I'd like to know its meaning.

Thanks
