(SNES Hack Mother 2 Deluxe -- Version 2.00 ROM crashes emulator) #2609

Closed breaktube closed 3 years ago

breaktube commented 3 years ago

Hello there, I hope you all are well. I love the BizHawk emulator and it has been my go-to for a long while. Today I tried to run a hack of Earthbound (USA) Called "Mother 2 Deluxe" version 2.00
Seems to crash the BizHawk emulator when you try to open and run the hacked ROM. The same way as 6MB SNES games (like Star Ocean for example). Did a checksum check and seems that everything was patched correctly Even runs just fine on other emulators. Asking the development team to take a look at this hack To see if it is possible to make it a compatible SNES game.
Continue to stay safe out there and thanks in advance !

Which core were you using? If you switch cores with the Config > Cores > SNES menu, it might run correctly.

Hello there, did not know about the "Cores" with this emulator ! Looks like mine is set to "Snes9x" When changing cores to either "Faust" or "BSNES" The hack loads just fine...guess the Snes9x-Core is not compatible with this SNES game.
Big thanks with this ! Will try to play the game past the intro, with both cores, to see if there are any problems.

The hack loads just fine...guess the Snes9x-Core is not compatible with this SNES game.

Fixed in the latest nightly builds https://github.com/snes9xgit/snes9x/commit/a146093e4e3750e934f9fb54fe306eed1a1258e8

Thanks, sounds like the core was update to the lastest Snes9x nightly build ? Will check it out when I return home this evening.

No, that's an upstream fix only. Bizhawk hasn't taken this change.

breaktube commented 3 years ago

Wait, so I would need to grab the "latest dev build" to apply these changes ?

nattthebear commented 3 years ago

Bizhawk hasn't taken this change. No build of BizHawk will have it.

breaktube commented 3 years ago

Ah, my mistake. So I will need to wait for the Bizhawk "Snes9x" core to be officially updated Before I can use it to play the game ?

YoshiRulz commented 3 years ago

You can go to #1374 and click "Subscribe" on the right to get notified when Snes9x is updated, assuming we ever get around to updating it. Though I'm not sure why you care given you were able to use Faust?

Thanks, I have subscribed to the core-update discussion. BizHawk is my emulator of choice...might be a bit greedy of me to want it to stay as the best emulator around. With that said, I have not contributed to the development of the updated "Snes9x-Core" But I do care that all of the BizHawk cores are updated to the latest versions So that the emulator can run the library of available games with the best compatibility possible. The team that has and continues to work on the BizHawk project are amazing ! It might be a selfish request, but it is encouraging to see the team keep this emulator at such a high level.
