Feature request: 32X+ support! #71

Open WeedyWeedSmoker opened 2 years ago

WeedyWeedSmoker commented 2 years ago

Hi @irixxxx!

There are some promising advancements made in the hacking community for 32x games, namely support for audio CD quality music in 32x games, a.k.a. 32X+!

Could you look into the feasibility of implementing such a feature, like Genesis Plus did for MD+ and MSU-MD?

Thanks

This isn't coming anytime soon. Picodrive isn't prepared to handle 2 different media files in a run. The same is BTW valid for msu.

@irixxxx It was kind of wishful thinking (as no emulators supporting MSU-MD and MD+ support 32x games right now)…

Thanks for your answer!

I'll put it on the backlog.

There's now MSU support. For MD+ the MegaSD hardware needs to be supported. That's not going to happen in the near future since I don't have one.

With Picodrive 2 on powerkiddy Q90 at 960Mhz, all 32X games runs fine between 50 and 60hz

Yes, I checked this, and a good load runs at fullspeed using the "fast" option profile.

This ticket is however about 32X+, a variant of MD+ for the 32X to add CD audio to 32X cartridge games. It's still on the backlog until I somehow acquire the additional MegaSD hardware for testing purposes.

You can also use the Mega Everdrive Pro for testing, it supports both MD+ and 32X+ as of a year or so ago.
