Os9xgp Emu Problem

[Fishbong]

As it seems, OS9xgp doesn`t emulate a plugged- in Snes-controller but instead another input device, probably a keyboard. That causes a malfunction with certain Roms, who require a controller, f.i. Kirby Superstar. Other emulators, f.i. Snes9xgp aparrently do emulate the controller accurately, but they are (usually) too slow. Does anyone know if there`s a way of using such Roms with OS9xgp ? Maybe switch to controller emulation somewhere in the GUI?
Pleez help if ya know!

The only input devices that Famicom/SNES ever had are: standard controller (and custom ones), mouse, superscope. Nothing else.
0S9XGP uses the standard controller. The problem is that you can't have every button in 0S9XGP because GP32 has only 6 buttons while SNES has 8 of them. So you should check you configuration.

The last time I tried SuperStar I think the error was "Take out the Snes Supertap"

 

[Fishbong]

Er... I have no problems PLAYING Kirby Superstar. I know (due to my ability to count) that the gp32 has not enough buttons, and i also know how to remap them. My problem is that the game doesn`t even start ! There`s just a message on the screen which i will quote now : " (Please Note)-- If you are using the Mouse, SuperScope or Multiplayer adapter , switch to Controller - Thanks !" unquote
Obviously OS9xgp emulates an other Controller than the standard one, and therefor, several games don`t run. But since other emus can do that, there *may* be a way to configure OS9xgp in a way to get it running, and it`s THAT i asked help for-- not how to switch between button settings.

btw: You `re right- there was no keyboard for the SNES.
can anyone help ?

MulitTab allowed the SNES to support up to 4 Players on one console. That ment, you could play ISSDeluxe with 3 buddys.

For some strange reason, the os9xGP emulates a supertab as well. That may be, because it was ported over from a PC version and the supertab was simply left in.

Hrrrm... Someone should ask YoYofr to disable this "feature" in the following releases... it`s pointless on the gp32_console and maybe even decreases the Performance.... Too bad.

Super Mario RPG has the "Multitap-device"-problem as well on my GP32.

What you could try is make a savestate just beyond the point where it says this, with Snes9x, and then rename it so it works with OpenSnes9x, then load it with OpenSnes...

 

[Kolkman]

Maybe it wil help. I should give it a try

 

[damaki]

So, you were talking about this Os9xGP well known bug. It has no known workaround. Let's hope it will be corrected.

No, that doesn´t work. The multitab emulation is still active when you load a SRAM state, and Kirby Superstar / Mario RPG don´t work with it. The programmers of those games haven´t just disabled the usage of this ROMs with the multitab to mock the gamers but because they (unlike most other games) don´t support multitab, and would not run with it (therefor they do crash if you try that trick)

OOOOOOH

Not strictly true, there were some more input devices that werent as well known, like the Baseball Bat, the golf thingymabob, and arcade stiks

Use a ZSNES ZST state, or an OS9xGP v0.1 ZSx state. Guaranteed to work.

 

[Fishbong]

1. Really ??? Do i have to rename the savestate ?
2. According to your post, OSNES9xgp worked without the multitab emulation, how
comes it, that in the current version 0.2 the multitab emulation is active?

 

[Tobriand]

If I were to take a guess, multitab emulation is there to facilitate the *possibility* of multi-player via RF link in the future, though I suspect that at the moment that would ne nothing more than a possiblity.

Otherwise, as you point out, there's no point in having it there...

 

[Fishbong]

You´re wrong, Tobriand. Even PC emulators (f.i. SNES9x) running on a fast PC (mine is Athlon XP 2600+) doesn´t run fullspeed in netplay, so it´s IMPOSSIBLE to implement a RF-play function on the gp32_console .

Netplay works almost pefectly for me on a 600mhz 32mb grafix 128mb RAM PC, are u sure its not just coz u have 56k (Im assuming you do)

 

[Fishbong]

Er... NO.
In fact i referred to netplay in a LAN !!!!!
I never play SNES games in the internet. (btw. I am using ADSL)
Something´s gotta be wrong with my machine....
