2 Roms Didnt Load With New Drmdx..

[tgg]

I tried loading altered beast and ghouls n ghosts and theres just a blank screen no first sega logo any1 know why?

 

[gaterooze]

Both work for me. These are my rom names:

Altered Beast (JU) (REV 02) [h3].zip
Ghouls 'N Ghosts (JUE) (REV 01) [b2].zip

(yeah, I have silly roms, they're just random)

No they aren't.

J = Japan
U = American (OR universal i forget)
E = European version.
the rest all mean something too. I forgot where the chart was with all the meanings.

's are Bad Dumps, copies from the cartridge ROM to a file that had errors or faults. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. [h]'s are Hacks of the original. [!] are the most accepted 'official', correct and faultless ROM image, and what any sort of compatibility test should really be done with.

"U" is United States, rather than universal; E is Europe and J is Japanese. JUE is Universal. JU is Japan/US (60 Hz in both nations, so it's more common than say, EJ or UE, as European nations mostly use the 50 Hz PAL standard.)

 

[gaterooze]

Yep, I know what they all stand for, I just have a random assortment of roms on my HD :lol:

One day I should weed out all the 's and replace with [!]'s... although I have found several [!]'s that won't run in emulators when [h] versions will.

edit: for those who don't know, the other codes (that I can remember) are [f]=fixed rom (usually for backup units), [t]=trainer, [T]=translation, [a]=alternate rom, [o]=overdumped rom.

if is a bad rom dump, that doesnt work, why do people distribute it? cant they simply delete the dump file and try again until they get a good dump?? seriously what the heck?

I'm having the same problems with ALL of my roms. All of them are just giving me a black screen. I'm on firmware 1.2.1 and tried 200Mhz and 250Mhz with no success.

You might have to upgrade to 2.0 firmware...

Great then overclocking will be a problem! (I have no idea how to use scripts).

 

[Shikaku]

There is a search function for a reason! Learn how!

I don't even have to overclock with the new MMU hacked DrMD. The main game I use it for (Sonic 3D Blast) runs fullspeed with sound now anyways.

You are definately going to have to upgrade to 2.0. I had the same problem with the Open 2X firmware (based on 1.4) and would get a blank scree. None of the emulators that use the MMU hack (NeoGeo, SNES, or Megadrive) worked with the older firmware. As soon as I upgraded to 2.0 all of the MMU hack emulators worked like a charm.

My big fear with this is that since this hack appears to be Firmware related it's possible it could get broke again in the future with a new Firmware release.

 

[hannanshah]

Ok I upgraded and learnt how to use scripts. DrMd works now and I can overclock

People are assholes. Just like that time I downloaded a 600 meg zip file only to find that it contained bad dumps and missnamed romfiles.

 

[Montsubai]

Where do REV 01/02 etc. stand for?

 

[paulobecker]

Did anyone try Sid Meyer's Pirates Gold? I tried it and only got a black screen as well. Can't say if it's a bad rom, and unfortunately I also hadn't tested it in the previous version >_<

 

[Mr_Munk]

@ Montsubi - AFAIK REV is the revision of the software, ie software version.

I had this happen with a few of my roms as well. I just restarted my gp2x and tried them again - sometimes it worked after the first reset, other times it took multiple resets. This seems like a intermittent issue with Drmdx and not with the rom (although you could also have a bad rom). Keep trying to load those roms!

A big thanks to Reesy for all his hard work!

nice list just 1 thing to add


PD = public domain/homebrew = not illegal to download if you dont own the original. (which should be worth a mention as the GP2X is designed for homebrew.



sadly most used for hentai on the snes


BOOOOOOOORING.

BUT THEN THERE ARE MARIO/SONIC* hacks a new super metroid* game for the snes emulator coming soon.


*as these are trademarks i cant remember if there legal or not as they are not covered by a GNU agreement.

(knuckles on sonic 1 is awsome though )
