Guest smwoodcrafts Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 bitbank, I have a an Axim X51v and would like to buy your product. It seems to be very well made but I have a questions. Is sound availible for GBC emulation? When I turned the sound on and started a ROM, it starts and I hear sound but then I get an error and it exits. I have to reset my unit to bring everything back to normal. I have the latest version that is on ClickGamer 0.37. With sound turned off it seems to run fine. At least for the 2 min that it runs unregistered. Anyone else, Has anyone used this on an Axim X51v? Would you recommend this? smwoodcrafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mikeeey Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 I will revisit the sound issues soon. I've been working on cleaning up NES support. I've added a bunch of mappers and fixed others. I'm also going to fix the NES save/load code once and for all. This should not affect existing saved games, but if it does I'll let you know. So far I've added mappers 9,10,11,69,71 and made a structural change which fixes various games. For games which swap out the entire ROM area (32K banks), this caused a problem with my previous code because on the write to the mapper, the code at the current PC has changed. My 6502 uses a "segment" pointer to speed things up with banked memory. The fix was to update the segment pointer after every write to a mapper handler. I will definitely post a new build this week, but I'm not sure exactly when. I'll keep you posted... L.B. cool, new mappers! so after the NES cleanup and sound fixes are you going back to the gennesis code? bitbank, I have a an Axim X51v and would like to buy your product.

Guest annawu Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Still no changes. NES Missing mapper: 69 (?) - games not working like Castlevania 3- Draculas Curse) Bubble Bobble - working with some display bugs Star Tropics II - massive sound problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bitbank Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Still no changes. Castlevania 3 is mapper #5, not #69 What bugs in Bubble Bobble? Do you mean the vertical scrolling being jumpy? I haven't debugged Star Tropics 2 yet. See my website for the list of changes. Thanks for the bug report. L.B.

I did a search on your site on google (searched on 'bitbank') and google came back and said your web site was not safe. I'm not sure what to make of it, but figured I should let you know. Here is the URL of the search I did. Click on the first result and see what google has to say. Very unfortunate. If you are unsure about clicking on a link I'm posting here, go to Google yourself and search on "bitbank" http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&...G=Google+Search Edited January 3, 2008 by jmacdonald801 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mikeeey Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 missing mapper #199. (260-in-1) missing mapper #25 (gradius II) missing mapper #? (gi joe atlantis factor, crashes after game start) missing mapper #? (Zelda 1, corrupt images) im running a rom called 260-in-1. so you can imagine it must have a lot of mappers. so as your add the mappers i suppose i will make a list of the ones i need.

PocketNester 0.7 Thanks annawu, I had been testing only on the PC and didn't notice the problems on WM. It must be a bug in my ARM 6502. I'll get it fixed today. L.B. update - That was it... The bug was the PHP instruction pushing corrupted bits. I've fixed it and now Zelda and Bubble Bobble work correctly. I'll have a new build up later today.

Guest jmacdonald801 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 (edited) I've got a suggestion that may or may not be useful. At some point it would be nice to be able to configure what video size to use on a "per system" basis, or on a per-resolution basis, as some game systems support multiple resolutions. Good example, I play some NES or SMS games which work great at a video size of 100% on my 320x240 display, then I go to the GameBoy Color game and I want the video size for that game system to always be 150% so it fills up the screen more. It's not a huge deal to have to change that switching between systems, but it would be nice. Maybe a seperate menu that lists all the supported resolutions for the various systems that has a drop down box beside each one to indicate how you want to map it to a video size. As an example: 256x240 -> 100% 160x144 -> 150% 352x242 -> 100% Non-Standard -> 100% Of course TG16/PC Engine seems to be able to generate a variety of resolutions so I don't know how you would handle that. But this would be cool. -James Edited January 3, 2008 by jmacdonald801 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L.B. wow 199 is very uncommon and hard to find. the only info i can fnd is some dragon ball Z game uses it. o well, doesnt matter, it was some rom with 260 games in it i was trying to run. btw i found out on zelda 1 that when u choose your name it freezes. and here's some other mappers ive found missing: 15 255 226 43 Edited January 6, 2008 by mikeeey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please do not forget mapper 5 for games like Castlevania 3. :( Not sure it is helpful.

Guest bitbank Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 btw i found out on zelda 1 that when u choose your name it freezes. I just tested this and cannot recreate the error.

Guest mikeeey Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I just tested this and cannot recreate the error. What are your exact steps to recreate the hang? Thanks, L.B. perhaps i have a corrupted rom, i will try a different one later today. on this rom however, it shows the main screen, i click start, and im at the character menu but all the sound has frozen and i cant select anything cuz the game froze too. as i said, i will try a different rom later today.

Guest smwoodcrafts Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Hey, I like the program and so I registered it. I was playing Oracle of Ages and after about 5 minutes, the program shut down and my top bar on my PPC was gone. It was frozen. I had to reset my device. I thought it might be the ROM so I also played Oracle of Seasons with the same result. I have am Axim X51v running WM5. I also have version 0.39 of SmartGear.

Guest mikeeey Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 bitbank so far i havnt found in really noticable bugs. for the first time i actually saved, and when i load my save i get a message saying the save couldnt be loaded, the message appears behind the game window so i have to guess where to click to click the ok button. but when i resume the game the save actually did load, lol.

Guest Rgeezer Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hey Larry, great program--I recently registered smartgear (ver 0.39 on a tmobile dash running wm6) and have been very impressed! Two glitches I've noticed so far: 1. Don't seem to be able to load GBC Kirby tiltntumble, looks as if it is trying to map the screen but never gets there. 2. Was trying out GBC Shantae and got the 2 minute shutoff message on a registered version. Restarted it, and didn't seem to happen again. The "register" option did not reappear on the file menu after the shutoff. Really like the way it loads gamegear versions, very nostalgic. It would be nice to be able to map keys differently (and save those different maps) for different emulations, but thats a minor consideration given how nicely it works with most roms. (haven't found one that can run Sega Virtua Racing yet) Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
