Well, I've purchased a replacement CPU-NXT2 board for my BB2, as I've failed to fix the problem from this thread: http://newlifegames.com/nlg/index.php?topic=16056.0 .  When I purchased the board from an ebay user, he had a list of games he was willing throw in with the purchase.  I've requested Alice Enchanted Mirrors.

When It arrived, it looks like the OS was put on a rewritten 512 MB WMS card, that used to be another game.  But, the GAME card itself was written on an old Bally 1 GB card.  I've tried many attempts at getting this game to load up but to no avail.  It fails validation after it loads the game to the HDD and starts to do its checking. 

I believe the problem is the game is put on the Bally CF card, which is failing the validation.  I've searched on the forums here, that WMS games are very picky on the type of card it uses.  It should be using a WMS card or a Sandisk card that some users had good experiences with.  That the card has to be byte for byte accurate.   I have a few other games that are 1 GB in size, that I've checked and confirmed the size of the card on a linux program called DD.   the couple of games all the same byte for byte match, but the Alice EM did not.

The Alice EM put on the Bally card seemed to be a tad bit larger in byte size, so simply cloning it to a WMS card did not work, as it was to big for it.  I have no idea on how to extract whatever true file size of the Alice EM from the Bally card, and make it fit on the WMS's on their 1 GB sized card.  I tried to contact the seller, but he doesn't respond to me anymore.  ( I guess he got the money he wanted, and I explained to him the board is working fine when testing other games, but probably doesn't care if the game he threw in has problems.  I didn't expect him to give me non authentic game cards). 

Not sure if this kind of discussion is appropriate on here, as it deals with copying copyrighted material. So if any help on how I can make this fit on the card through PM?? would be greatly appreciated.  I just want to get this game to work and play it.  Been looking forward to it for a while.


Edit: Thanks to a Bryan for helping me with my issue.  I'm am now up and running with the game.
