Release PicoDrive revival (1.9x)

[Linux-SWAT]

This version relies on embedded SDL or has it's own ?

 

[notaz]

It doesn't use SDL at all.

I just want to type again how happy I am that BlackThrone 32X works so well now on the Pandora...the best version for certain.

I waited quite a while for this to happen and i am very content now.

Thank you notaz.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Under Slackware -current (not tested on 14.0), i only have sound with the first game i launch.

Seems so ^^ .

I'm running 1.52, nothing custom.

Nothing loads, not even Sega Genesis.  I get the prompt Loading <ROM Name> and it freezes there.  Have to reboot.

Can you try with nothing in appdata?

You haven't reported what firmware are you on, PD now runs some scripts to change CPU clock, gamma and filters, maybe those are hanging if your firmware is old or if you have something custom there.

 

[mcobit]

Maybe you should update to latest SuperZaxxon.

Same here Notaz.

I'm getting the freeze up with Sega CD games and I'm on 1.52 as well.

Exophase, watch out!  Notaz is back into action!

 

[Linux-SWAT]

I have another question, i don't remember if it was possible, but i can't get a setting to have a full 480 height.

 

[mats158]

Hi notaz,

would you mind a Caanoo build ? Maybe for PCSX ReARMed r19 also ?

 

[CocoCreekFisherman]

Isn't that your weight?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Wait !

 

[CocoCreekFisherman]

Wait !

Waiter...more food.

I'm trying it with nothing in appdata.  If that doesn't work I'll try upgrading Superzaxxon.  Have to dig up that article from the PandoraLive blog - 10 things to do after upgrading your firmware...

 

[LardLad]

No joy with deleting the picodrive folder in appdata.  After letting the app re-create the folder and copying in the various BIOS files I have the same issue.

Maybe it's my vintage version of Superzaxxon...

 

[notaz]

Under Slackware -current (not tested on 14.0), i only have sound with the first game i launch.

Try the update I just uploaded, if that doesn't work I need the log again. Alsa is PITA to work with..

I've just flashed SZ 1.52 out of pure interest and it turns out PD triggers a bug in the 3.2.30 kernel that's in SZ 1.52. I've added a workaround that's now on the repo, but you guys should really update you SZ.

Hi notaz,

Maybe after I fix some more SegaCD stuff, otherwise it doesn't bring anything new to Caanoo over old release as 32X will still be too slow.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

The new version solved the Slack sound problem !

Thanks !

Hi... great update but I don`t see the new gui? I removed everything and downloaded again... still nothing...how`s that?
