Can't Get Gp2xengine Working On 1.4.0

[Cbass182]

I have been playing Dracula X on the pc engine emu when I had firmware 1.2.0 (i think that's the version) and it worked just fine. Once I upgraded to the cramfs 1.4.0 I just get a black screen when I try to launch the emulator. Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know if it can/will be fixed in a future release?

If not...is there a way to go back to the old firmware that it worked with?

You can go back to the old firmware, just reflash it.

Though my gp2xengine works with 1.4.0. Have you got the latest version? (the one with the rom compressor)

I'm using the 1.3 beta, the newest one in the archive. I have the cramfs 0.4 version of theoddbots firmware (which requires the 1.4.0 update)...

Can anyone link me to an older version of this emu...I've been updating all my emu's and games lately and I never had a problem with the older version of this emu...but I also had 1.2.0 firmware when I had the old version of the emu...so I donno which is the problem...

Same problem here.
Used to work with 1.4.0

I figured it out...

go to http://gp2x-emulation.dcemu.co.uk/gp2xengine.shtml

and download the 1.3 beta from Jan 14th...

The newest one from feb 24th supposedly has a tv-out fix...but it doesn't work for me...

1.3 and 1.2 from the jan 14th and jan 6th both work fine...

someone should let the author of this emu know the latest version is not working...

​

I tried the TV-Out supported version and it didn't work for me, and I noticed that the it's size was only 142kb.

gp2xengine 1.3 non TV-Out still works with cramfs 0.0.4. it is 228kb, maybe something was missed when it got recompiled? It could account for the shrinkage.

the emu seems to work fine while im playing but once i exit the screen gets all messed up until i turn off my system and turn it back on.

Kounch's TV-Out fixer works with it, and DrMDx. If you see him, hug him for me.

I get the same black screen - I'm also using the latest version of cramfs.

GP2Xpectrum, by the same author, fails in exactly the same way.

I had a problem where Neutopia was working and then just stopped. I downgraded to the Jan 14th version and it seemed to fix things. It's odd but the game worked the first time I played it on the Jan 28th version then just quit loading. Where do I post/send this for a bug report?

Thanx,
Stan
