Compatibility Changes In Drmd V2.0

[Drewus]

Some games (and damn good ones too!) that are still not playable (probably all Cyclone related):

Shining Force 1 - resets GP at start of game
Shining Force 2 - resets GP at start of game
LandStalker - resets GP at start of game
Street Fighter 2 Championship - freezes at start of game
Samurai Shodown - won't accept input

I wonder if ZAMN still has the graphical issues as before?

Still, an amazing emulator and 2.0 is an amazing release. The speed is wonderful, even high action games are very playable at 144Mhz. IMO this is the overall best emulator on the GP32 in terms of emulation quality, complexity and game quality. How can you beat stuff like portable Phantasy Star 4, Beyond Oasis, Shinobi 3 and Gunstar heroes? You just can't! :rolleyes:

​

Shame about Landstalker, i played that on Gens alot.

Sonic 3 wouldn't load for me before but now it does. and the sound in Alladin is much better, although still not perfect

 

[Endurion]

also not working is:

Chaos Engine
Power monger
Turrican (its all black on my gp)

and the Lotus games have a strange bugg that prevents the cars from using a higher gear then 2.....

Well, if we're talking about what DOESN'T work yet... :huh:

"Rings of Power" is unplayable because the main play area is black (the outside border is visible & you can move your character, but you can't see what you're doing because of the black screen)
"Mr Nutz" simply doesn't load
In "Star Control" the power bar of the ships isn't visible, making it somewhat hard to play )

Really though, we need Rico to create another simple compatibility website for things like this. It would make it much easier for everybody. h34r:

Does anyone know if Dragon:The Bruce Lee Story or Int. Superstar Soccer, works now ?

 

[Shirohagen]

Hugely impressed by v2, Desert Strike still doesn't work, freezes after the briefing screen.

[azurege]

Still no Slapfight....

Title screen loads but the game resets the GP.

 

[Fishbong]

Dragon Ball Z: Bu Yu Retsuden doesn´t work... loads just forever...

 

[djchk]

Still no Slapfight....

Title screen loads but the game resets the GP.

​

You can play Slapfight on Mame

Smash TV isn't working....it just keeps reseting to the Smash TV title screen.

It does, just press start button

 

[Shirohagen]

Tried all the buttons, maybe I have a bad ROM if it works for you guys.

Well at least you are not the only one... it has the exact same error here. UrbanStrike works though.

But I love how nicecly Earthworm Jim 1&2 works now!

 

[WhiteFalcon]

​

Not sure which button but its just a matter of timing, I played the game several times. Try it, the game really does work then.

Another not working game is Gods.
Terminator seemingly works, but only until you climb down the ladder in level 1, then unstoppable stream of terminators starts flowing. Maybe its not a bug, but I think no one could play through that if it is not

I can`t try it yet (bloody work), But iirc, You have to press one of the button repeatedly (to skip past the briefing screen) until the frigate screen appears.

Not very practical, But it works most of the time.

Contra: Hard Corps doesn't work, some odd graphical errors that i saw in another gen emu (either dr.md 1.0 or gigadrive), though this isnt a cyclone bug! Worked in one of the gen emu's (not sure of it was dr.md 1.0 or fgen- fgen definately though)

But I love how nicecly Earthworm Jim 1&2 works now!

It looks and plays absolutely fantastic, and looks so damn good on the BLU. This is def my fav game to play with this emu

Both of these games work fine in fGEN32, but for some reason not in DrMD, which is a shame.

Also, ADVANCED MILITARY COMMANDER works but does not have the "Fog of war" as can be seen in fGEN32.

The reason I'm gutted about this is because I could play AMC at 50Mhz increasing battery life while I'm on travels, but I need the fog of war! fGEN's minimum clock speed is 133.....

Still plenty else to play though

Just keep bashing the start button to get desert strike to work, pressing it quickly enough skips the briefing before it can freeze up. Then simply do a savestate and you won't have to do it again.

 

[Drewus]

Ristar works, but has graphical glitches on the world screen.

Nothing at all progress killing, but the glitches are there none the less. The game is still one of the best platformers the system had
