Hi Dink. Can you fix Super -X game: game freeze after start Stage 1 and shows error code 002C in the middle screen  (both NTC and MITCHELL versions) ??

[dink]

WILOWAR, I can't reproduce that bug here.  Can you try the following, to see if it helps:
If you're using 64bit exe, use the 32bit one instead, or xp version (just try)
If Use Assembly 68k core is on, turn it off, Misc -> Options -> Use Assembly MC68000 core.
Then try?

thanks,

With help from Barry / Treble Winner, we now have FM(YM2413) capability in the Sega Master System driver

Fixed a bunch of non-booting games in the SMS driver
Korean games which relied on the SMS's work ram set to a pattern of 0xf0
Ace of Aces & Shadow Dancer which relied on the Stack Pointer being set to 0xdff0 before boot.

that's all for now,
best regards,

Excellent work!

Thanks IQ_132

I'm pretty happy with this driver now, today all of the longstanding issues & problematic problems have been worked out.  Next step: more playtesting!

For those who are wondering: what happened to dink?

SMS Game Binge!!!

Playing and tweaking, tweaking and playing.  Tweaking the driver to perfection, that is, (not the other kind!)

SMS, as in Streets of Rage?

[dink]

Sega MasterSystem, of course

Of corse, SMS=Genesis to me.

Some more SMS news:
Today I got the Korean Beat 'em up Janggun ui Adeul working in FBA!  It uses simple bit swapping encryption for a range of bytes in the rom.
Also got Pooyan, which is a port of the MSX version to SMS by HiCom working right - the game used to go berzerk after player death.

thats it for today...

Dink you have been a life saver since you joined this group. I've followed FBA since 2010 and is my favorite arcade emulator. Awesome job as always now if you can get iq to port Track n Field. lol just messing around better than asking for the Midway driver though I still love my cat.

Thanks csmart

Added the newly found WildSnake GameGear game to FBA
JacKc added the new arrange versions of Japanese Fireshark (Same!Same!Same!) & Ketsui by trap15 (Thanks!!!)

The new Japanese Fireshark fixes a problem that every FireShark fan has run into - powerups that never leave the screen.  This is especially helpfull in the later levels when you need a certain weapon, and those powerup-hindenburgs keep coming by with powerups that actually downgrade you.   Its a very "hated" part of the game that most superfans know about and cringe every time they think about playing the game   Big thanks to trap15 for reverse-engineering the game and fixing things, and JacKc for adding the games to FBA!
