Gigasoft: Same happened to me. But the problem for me, was that I wrote SEGA to the TMSS port without checking the status port for TMSS. Regen debugger didn't like this. Caused it to do some weird stuff like crash, constantly pop up the 68k debugger window, not display anything, etc.

Well, Phantasy Star 4 uses a special I/O port to switch between SRAM and ROM, so that's probably unimplemented.

I find minor bug in Auto detect region

After some games like a Thunder Force 4 (J)
Mortal Kombat 3 (U) show "not compatible region"

http://radikal.ru/F/i063.radikal.ru/100 ... 8.jpg.html

After Mega Drive roms, GameGear roms load 5-10 seconds.

On Hq4x Regen crash.

By clicking on empty spaces of cheat dialog window Regen crash:

Sram issues with: Beyond Oasis, Holyfield Evander, Micro machines 2 turbo tournament, Micro machines millitary, and some others...

Changing keys may cause to hang window, but if you remap all keys without see anything, window work again and controller remapped on new keys...

In volume levels of YM2612 and PSG button "Cancel" accept changes!

High Seas Havoc on first screen with green emerald, music play too fast during few seconds:

http://radikal.ru/F/s005.radikal.ru/i21 ... 6.jpg.html

I use these setups in Video Options:

http://radikal.ru/F/i072.radikal.ru/100 ... a.png.html

And when apply "stretch" i got this:

http://radikal.ru/F/s005.radikal.ru/i20 ... b.png.html

I can fix this by "off" Output 4:3 Aspect, but it quite annoying, because i use Output 4:3 Aspect in Mega Drive games.
Found a reproducible way to crash Regen.

1) Make sure you have this archive which contains a cheat file and a SRAM file and rename them to your Sonic 3 & Knuckles ROM and put them in the appropriate directories.

2) Load Sonic 3 & Knuckles and enable the Rings Modifier to 50 rings, and enable all five Disable Super/Hyper Music cheats.

3) Play the last save slot with Knuckles with all the emeralds, and choose act 1.

4) When the level starts jump in the air to attempt to transform into Hyper Knuckles but Regen will crash because of the enabled codes.
Yes Regen crash on this cheat.

Next very hidden bug in interface, we just leave "OFF" Show FPS, run game and enter to fullscreen, now press Ctrl+F and Show FPS work, now return to window mode and we see no check box marked, but Show FPS work:

"Disable Screensavers" not work on Windows 7, it still show screen savers when Regen run game.

Lowpass filter + Overdrive in some games like in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (Ice Cap Zone) when Sonic picks rings, SFX of rings slightly distorted, but in Kega Fusion i can't find these distortions...

Hmm strange today i tryed run Blades of Vengeance, but it show black screen, i run another games, i exit from emulator, after few minutes i run Regen again, and run Blades of Vengeance, and game run perfectly...

It's more noticeable because of the overdrive option, but otherwise sounds more or less correct here.

She was official Model 1.01 - Japanese Sega Mega Drive II for region Europe, for example it close to this thing:

Added new info:

And final hit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fw6la-2vIcQ

I found in Youtube very detailed record with difference between Model 1 and Model 2, yep Model 2 most weird thing, i hate clear treble from Model 2! my sound is more blurry and melodic :P

That's a model 2, which isn't what emulators like Regen and Kega aim to emulate.

AamirM

I already emulate my console on Regen 0.972, i need Mono in ini file for 100% emulation (currently only 90% without Mono)

RetroRalph already added this feature, and i want it in Regen too :wink:

Okay? I'm sure there's other important stuff needed for Regen first.
