Ripped a bios file from a Battle Tryst board (I know its available online) and the dump was good and checks against the MAME file perfectly fine.
My issue is, just for shits and giggles, I wanted to use the dump to launch the bios in MAME. Three of the four banks have data, but only one bank is the BIOS.
Since the saved dump is 512K (the bank size) vs the file size MAME accepts, it just throws up an error in MAME's usually overly sensitive and specific file size way.
Changing the extension from bin to 8Q got MAME to look for it, but then it fails on the file size check. Granted my end goal is to write a custom bios for the target hardware, so I can skip mame (or keep altering the dumped 8Q mame accepts and rapid prototype it in the debug menu) but I was curious why XGPRO always saves my dumps as a 512K file size.
Might be too esoteric of a question lol, but any help would be great
