Sega Cd Compatability

[Shadowsithe]

To save me some time and bandwidth, what's most definitely not working as of the latest release?

In particular, I'd like to know how Popful Mail performs.

Edit: This should probably be moved to Emulation. Sorry.

 

[shinneri]

From what I can tell, Popful Mail doesn't work yet.

 

[imhotep]

Sonic CD and Snatcher work the best. Most others don't work very well or at all yet.

 

[Rivroner]

Working perfectly (almost perfectly in some cases):

-Bari Arm (USA)
-Snatcher.(Usa)
-Sonic Cd (Japan)
-Earthworm Jim SE (PAL)
-Prince of Persia.
-Bouncers.
-Chuck Rock IIress start to cut FMV.You need a high OC 250 at least.
-Chuck Rockress Start to cut FMV to avoid hanging.
-Lords of Thunder.
-The Misadventures of Flink:Needs high OC , 260 at least.
-Flashback:You must cut FMV.
-Space Adventure cobra:Cut the FMV.


*All this games have been tested in 16 Bit Accuracy mode and 44 khz sound.

 

[Blah]

Lunar works good as well.

 

[mth411]

Also Kiero flighting squadron. Everything seems good. Ok game.

 

[imhotep]

I think when I tested Flashback and Earth Worm Jim they didn't have sound fx.

 

[shinneri]

The Eccos work great outside of the videos.

Lunar 1 works, but Lunar 2 doesn't display text.

Maybe you have to activate PCM or something, i don´t know.

 

[imhotep]

Maybe you have to activate PCM or something, i don´t know.

Ah yes. I think that might be it. Thanks!

 

[shiffy]

Here are a few others that I have found to be working ok ...


Eternal Champions
Heimdall
Keio Flying Squadron
Robo Aleste
Shining Force
Smurfs, The
Wild Woody
Wolfchild
Wonderdog

 

[imhotep]

I have heard good reports about Shining Force, but the second story (Shining Force is 2 games in 1) crashes for me near the end of the opening cut scene. USA and European versions.

 

[shiffy]

Shining Force ---- I forgot to mention to skip the cut scenes.

 

[CABBAGES]

Heres the videos i posted on the picodrive thread:-

Wild Woody

Robo Aleste

Wonder Dog

Wolfchild

Snatcher

Bari Arm

Shining Force

Yeah, I was looking to see how well the emu ran and saw your video. I thought "wow this emu is a load of unplayable rubbish, it is a choppy mess". Then I came here and read it was the capture. I tried the emu and it is very smooth. I would pull that video, it gives the GP2X and Picodrive a bad name. It will just get the PSP fanboiz saying that the GP2X is teh suxorz.

 

[imhotep]

Is anyone else apart from me getting crashes in Shining Force (story 2)?

It occurs near end of opening cutscene. Not long after the King is thrown in to the lava.

 

[imhotep]

Flashback works really well except for the cut scenes as mentioned before. Most of the cut scenes aren't really important, but I am stuck at part where you get your first employment and you have to know (via the cut scene) what your job is.

Guess I'll have to check gamefaq.com

-MickeMania Works perfect.
-Rise of The Dragon is not working for me.
-Pitfall is not working.

For people stumbling on to this thread, the above relates to Picodrive 1.14

v1.20 is now out with increased compatibility including FMV support.

 

[kingbuzzo]

I've been playing snatcher on v1.20 and there are times when the audio goes totally garbled like a distorted 80's sci-fi computer voice. Most notably everything I've seen so far after Gillian returns from the rundown warehouse.
