This is a project to create some useful documentation and tools for curious owners of "Super UFO Pro 8" backup units for the SNES. (That means the current SD card / USB version, not the identically-named floppy disk version made in the 90s.)

Currently available:

• loadrom.py - send ROM to unit over USB (will add valid header as necessary)
• shell.py - interactive command shell for inspecting, dumping, and modifying memory contents
• clienttest.py - test script: retrieve and show region of cart memory (also test r/w speed)
• dumptest.py - test script: dump ROM and SRAM images from a cart
• np_dir.py - show directory of SF Memory (Nintendo Power)
• np_dump.py - dump individual ROM and SRAM images from SF Memory (Nintendo Power)
• np_dump_all.py - dump whole Flash and SRAM images from SF Memory (Nintendo Power)

The loadrom script is to be used with the USB transfer option on the Super UFO main menu. Other scripts communicate with the server program after it's running on the console.

The server directory contains the source for the SNES-side server program (requres libSFX).

Documentation so far:

• header.txt - copier header format for ROM dumps and USB uploads
• regs.txt - hardware register ($218x) info
• usb_upload.txt - USB upload protocol
• usb_client.txt - command protocol for the SNES-side server
• ch37*ds1.pdf - USB chip datasheets

PyUSB is required for any included tools that involve USB. On Windows you'll also need to use Zadig to install WinUSB compatibility for the existing Super UFO Pro USB driver.
