If it works:

  • Card Name and model/serial no. (if known) - link to an image
    • WORKS with 1x/4x DMA and Firmware E25
    • Castlevania Test: CVM rating (5=perfect 1=terrible)
    • Castlevania Portrait of Ruin (Crashes in the Ghost Mission/When teleporting?)
    • Spoiler: The room is found in Sandy Grave, at the upper portion, right most room. It contains only Ghosts. When you kill all the Ghost the Great Ghost will appear.

Please note what cluster size you used if you needed to use START to run GBA games.

If it doesn't work:

  • Card Name and model - link to an image
