Donkey Kong (World) (Rev 1) (SGB Enhanced), possibly others, does not load properly #246

Closed steve1515 closed 4 months ago

There seems to be an issue when loading certain roms. When starting the core and loading Donkey Kong (World) (Rev 1) (SGB Enhanced).gb (SHA256 b490c89efe718633b07381def66ce0ed58a5075aabe40c6e644baf2b408a76f4), the game does not load. After doing this no other games seem to load either. I just get a solid color game screen. I have to reset the MiSTer and open the core again to get anything to work.

If I first load another game such as Super Mario Land for example, that game loads and then I can load Donkey Kong and it works. It seems that for some reason Donkey Kong needs another game to properly load the core or do some kind of initialization which Donkey Kong can't do itself.

I cannot reproduce this.

Which version of the core are you using? Are you using a boot rom?

steve1515 commented 4 months ago

I'm on the latest version with no boot rom, but I also can not reproduce this anymore.

I think what happened was somehow the mister got into a strange state last week when I was testing this. While I was testing, I was resetting the mister while trying to see what worked and what did not, but I believe that I was only doing warm reboots and not cold ones as holding right on a USB controller does not seem to actually perform a cold reboot.

It does seem that what ever was wrong persisted after a warm reboot of the mister. For today's testing, I actually removed power, once I did that, it did in fact work.

Sorry for the confusion. I will close this issue.
