For PAR it's a lot simpler: AAAA:DD. Patches are always byte. So there you go

Not so sure how GG would be implemented in the SMS/GG through... I guess you can't do it :/

Simple, do it how Kega does it. Automatically convert it to it's hex address.

3A7-E4C-2A2 becomes 3237E4:3A

And I don't believe the SMS had a Game Genie, since I can't find any codes for a SMS GG at the moment. =|

Hi,

That is also done internally in Regen. Is there any emu where you have to do it manually?

TascoDLX wrote:All I'm saying is that, as far as PAR codes go, Kega clearly isn't following the rules (that you have stated)

Maybe, maybe not. But that was the main problem. What I, and most others, thought should happen does not happens. I am sure Mr. Steve must have tested it against the real hardware. I have also read on some places that codes created using Kega do work in reality. The main difference in the implementations is that Kega does writes while Regen intercepts reads. But now since all codes are working so I am not gonna change anything now.

stay safe,

No as far as I know. The reason is simple: having separate engines for GG and PAR just overcomplicates everything internally, making it harder to handle when programming and also slowing down emulation. Both systems have a 24-bit address and 16-bit/8-bit data, and they only really differ in how they were implemented on the real harwdare, in theory they should be able to do the same. So converting one of them to the other system (or even both of them into a custom internal one) makes a lot of sense.

Hi,

Here is a a screenshot using Shiru's Russian translation pack.

Golden Axe 3, Infinite Energy, FFC8E6:3300. The intent of this code is that when a word is read from FFC8E6, the value returned is always 3300. Not working in Regen.

Also a bug in Regen: after you enable a code such as FF0001:00FF, then whenever a word is read from FF0000, the value returned is 00FF regardless of the actual byte value at FF0000. (However, byte reads return their correct values.)

Hi,

Oooops

..... I left one line of code commented which shouldn't be commented. That is making this happen. Thanks for pointing this out.

Hi,

I also need the translations for the following too. Its better if they are sent in RTF but text encoded in Unicode will do too. That goes anyone doing translation.

File=
Video=
Sound=
System=
Misc=
Tools=
Help=
PauseResume=
StartNetPlay=
SaveSlot=
StartAVIRecord=
StopAVIRecord=
FileHistory=
ClearHistory=
VideoPlugins=
TurboMode=
Country=
SearchCheats=
CaptureMouse=
ChangeLagnuage=
About=

stay safe,

Question, would it be best to merge the first part of the translations with the second part there?

Also, typo. =P TruboMode should be TurboMode.

P.S. SearchCheats, eh? I wonder what that's about.

Hi,

Either way would be good. If I don't show laziness I could even be adding it to dialog and message boxes and messages

. Its important to me that Regen is available in many languages.

I'm willing to do the Estonian translation, though I'm pretty sure there's not many Estoinans using your (or any other at least MD) emu...

Hey, AamirM, take a look at this. This is an fresh mod of Gens with debugger. It is created by russian man, but I made quick translate. Can you do the same in Regen?

That is very nice. Do you have any sources? I don't know how to create that nice memory view yet.

Sure. I'll include it in too.

RTF? What, do you need them to be formatted or something?

Anyways, is it OK if I just send this rather than everything? To avoid having to retranslate everything again...
