Well jap games weren't tested much really, but I think I have tried at least one. PM me some samples if you want.x68000 said:
ED keeps bugging me with firmware/sound work, can't do much of anything else.NickLoTurco said:
It's because I can't get the timing right for everything without killing performance, when I tweak one set of games some others break because of the change. I have some ideas how to resolve it, but that needs time and firmware work is more important as it affects everyone, not only PD users.jumpman said:

That sounds great notaz. I'm glad I'm not going crazy. I'm sure you'll solve the problem in time, as you are one of the best out there. I'm looking forward to 32x support as well. I never played any of those games, so they are all new to me. Please keep up the good work.

Happy to hear Firmware is priority number one. When it's all said and done the tighter that is, the more useful the entire system will be.

Thanks for the continued support Notaz! Great to know that the FW is in very safe hands 
Have ripped a few more US games and they are all working great, pretty sure that my problem lies with the japanese bios - will hunt around for a few more and experiment further.

I doubt it is the rip. My Sonic CD Japan version hangs at the Sega logo.x68000 said:Thanks for the continued support Notaz! Great to know that the FW is in very safe hands

The US version works.

Cheers Notaz for the reply, we'll get these eventually. Any thoughts on adding Master System boot animation/sound on loading up (once you have time obviously!), is this even possible?

Oooh, you make me look like an evil tyrant... sounds cool
Thanks a lot for your work - and I guess all the users with sound problems appreciate your work on sound, too

Oooohh yeah...
I'm really looking forward to using this on my Pandora when I get it (I try to play Sonic 1 on anything new I get). I was just wondering if James Pond 3 is still not working because I've wanted to play that on a portable for a very long time :lol:

Only just had the time to rip a few Japanese Mega CD titles and none work, tried some pre ripped iso's too and they had the same result.DaveC said:I doubt it is the rip.

Sega CD titles worked fine.

Well, it would obviously be improved by adding support for new systems. ;P Picodrive is one of the most well polished emulators I've used in a long time. I love it, Notaz.
I'm looking forward to when you release a Pandora version with 32X support.EDIT: Oh, one thing, tho'. When I had OC'ed to 750 MHz to play some Mario64 on Mupen64plus, I then tried to play Picodrive after that without underclocking. It ran fine and I loaded up the game: Sonic 2: Aluminum Edition (http://info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_2:_Aluminum_Edition) That ran fine until I finally chose 1 player and started the game. As the first level started out, the graphics were jumping around everywhere. I tried reloading the rom and got the same effect. I then exited the emu, underclocked, started the emu back up and loaded the game again and it worked fine. Just thought I'd let you know, I don't know what it is, but I assume there must be a bug in there somewhere. :\ I can try to do some more intensive testing later this week.

Yeah I've started working on that, but been spending most pandora time working on firmware.jonlad1 said:
It could be a bug in that hack itself, does it work on the real hardware?God Ginrai said:

I don't have the tools to test whether it works on real hardware or not. :\ But it works fine in your emulator at 500 MHz, and I believe 600 MHz as well.

^ I've noticed something similar in UAE4All (which also utilizes Cyclone). At 550 MHz the game Mr Nutz runs fullspeed without frameskip. At 600 MHz it's not as smooth. And at 750 MHz the sound becomes terribly stuttery.
Could it be Cyclone runs better at certain specific clock-rates?
