What steps will reproduce the problem?

load ROM and says too large

What version of the emulator are you using (official, SVN revision,...)? lates version r764

I know the 10mb ROM works. Any chance of allowing 13mb file to run. It has tracks added from the arcade version.

it does not matter hat was added,, 10MB is the maximal size supported by the emulator because it is the maximal cartridge ROM size supported on real hardware without bank-switching (technically, the Z80 memory area starts 10MB after the start of the cartridge/expansion area and the VDP area starts 12MB after the start, so 13MB ROM will simply mess up with vital parts of the system )

Does this ROM use bankswitching ? I doubt it considering the usual 10MB hacks is just stupidly adding stuff at the end without caring about technical feasibility. It won't ever work on most flashcarts because It requires special address decoding on cart and, last time I checked, is still full of bugs that will crash the game on real hardware or accurate emulators.

Anyway, I don't really expect you understand what I said, give at least some details on where to find infos on the hack or simply answer my questions (as usual with your previous issues here) so I will simply close it.
