Genesis Core

[slingshot]

As far as i know there are only 2 games in Genesis using interlace mode: Sonic 2 (and only in split screen mode!) and some other game i forgot the name. So it's definitely not a reason to keep a bulky VIP scaler.

I'm getting a black screen saying "Resolution not supported" with both 20181205 and 20181206 cores. I'm using the default settings in the ini. I have a Samsung 4K TV.

It works for me.

Rocket Knight Adventure on the 2nd attract sequence where the room is on fire, when the flames shot across the screen the audio for the flames makes a popping sound and doesnt sound correct

SONIC 3 sound issue.
At the end of Angel Island Zone Act 2, you are chased by Eggman's "Flying Fortress", which drops bombs, the sound coming from the ship is more like crackles or pops. Only issue I've noticed in 5 levels. Thanks

This happens in the latest release, Thanks

The music problems in Streets of Rage II are still present with the updated PSG engine (JT89). I believe that the channels with wrong notes are from the OPL, not the PSG.

Even on youtube videos this part sounds weird. It's just music written this way.
Anyway, forget about it - it won't be fixed. It's just 1-2 seconds.

Strange! You are right, Sorgelig. That part seems to be sounding like that in youtube, too! I don't remember that on the original cart... But anyway, PSG sounds perfect now! Marble Zone in Sonic 1 sounds perfect! This core.. I can't find any more bugs on the games I know.

Anyone know whats causing this white line at the bottom? It started after the dec 6 update. It does it on gameboy, genesis, and nes. It doesnt show up when I capture footage and Ive tried it without my capture card and it still does it.

Hey Sorgelig, since changing to the Ascal Polyphase Scaler on the SNES and Turbografx I don't have any problems and ghost lines with the scanlines anymore.

Would you like to update the Genesis Core as well?
You don't need to make a release out of it yet, I compile it myself if the changes are in the source code.
Thanks a lot!

Currently hsync is 32 cycles in 256 mode and 26 cycles in 320 mode. That should be the other way around.

In Alex Kidd (USA) when entering rock, paper, scissors match thought bubble signs are erratically moving and after beating enemy their eyes flash. None of this is in original game.

Is it possible to make the core run at original speed (59.92Hz)? I noticed it currently outputs at 60.20Hz

[BlockABoots]

Does the latest Genesis core use the low latency mode (vsync_adjust=2)?

[Sorgelig]

yes, it supports low latency mode. It's still experimental.

what's the difference?

I'm not sure if vsync_adjust=2 will enable low latency mode. Last Wednesday grabulosaure helped me get a low lag configuration for SNES, and these were his instructions: "The low lag mode has issues with the default settings with 148.5MHz clock, if you need 1920x1080@60Hz, use instead something like "video_mode=1920,48,32,80,1080,123,6,26,154130" . Select NTSC, no triple buffer, no vsync_adjust. "

Anyway I tried these instructions along with his own build of the SNES core (which has an OSD option for "low latency" scaler) and the lag did appear to be lower then when I tried with just the official build with vsync_adjust=2. Maybe those are special steps that are only needed for SNES? Not sure...

The difference is that its running too fast and not on original clock speed. Can't the system clock be changed to match the real hardware?

[Sorgelig]

It's possible.

[Everblue]

If I remember correctly, a 60hz modded PAL Megadrive and an NTSC one do not run at the same speed.

Many fixes in new releases.
Titan Overdrive - everything is perfect now.
Titan Overdrive 2 - mostly OK. There is unknown cause of audio lag. Arcade scene flickers and won't be fixed (as it useless for games).

Any chance to get the Overdirve 2's arcade full screen effect fixed one day ? (I try ^^)

yes. If you will do this

[Shazz]

yes. If you will do this

That's a fair statement I can give it a try. I need first to find the posts and articles linked to this "exploit" when it was added to emulators, like this one:

@Sorgelig, ok ok after checking the history between the demo and how the emulators caught up... you did a fairly good job and I only noticed one difference at the end, the vertical borders missing during the arcade scene. All the others effects relying on the VDP undocumented debug register work perfectly.

So hats off! Really!

I'll contact Kabuto to see exactly what he is torturing the VDP to remove the borders and get a test screen.
