Pandemonium! (USA) #155

Tested on FW: 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6

This game suffers from audio distortion on some levels especially on level 14: https://youtu.be/3A2z2SLtMcQ

An easy way to test this game is using invincibility code and a password to level 14. At the password option type HARDBODY for invincibility and then type FEIIAMGE. When the game starts press left on the map and choose level 14. In the beginning of the level 14 the audio is normal but it gets distorted always at the same locations (video above).

How do I enter the code above? The code I entered is invalid.

Do you know the specific model of your SATURN?

Many games with audio problems are repaired with the txt fix. I'll try and let you know.

Try this, it will make the game load at the original CD speed and we can know if "adjusting" will work well

Okay, so I'm on Firm V0.6 and have no issues with the game. Entered the codes as instructed and no audio issues all. Play perfectly fine.

goukizero commented 3 days ago

Now it loads very slowly, like originally, we would have to try to regulate it sector_delay=2000 play_delay=4000

This is a test, I don't know how it will turn out. Can you try it and comment? thank you

Enter the code at the password screen. After you enter HARDBODY a message will show "CAN'T TOUCH THIS" or something like that. Then replace HARDBODY with the stage password FEIIAMGE.

I have a US Saturn model 1 and a white japanese model 2.

Did you test it using the config settings above or without anything?

I'm far away from my home now. I will test as soon as I can. Thanks

Without. No changes to the config. Might want to try a different ISO file. I got mine from Cdromance

goukizero commented 2 days ago

The isos are generally fine, in my txt I have fixes for more than 40 games. Without configuration many games fail and changing the iso doesn't solve anything

Is it possible to share this txt file?

goukizero commented 2 days ago

Arreglos Juegos Alfabeticamente.0.6.txt

There you have, are the arrangements that need to be made and also all multidisc games at least in one region. Please keep in mind that if your version of the game does not match the txt version, the fix will not work (region, ID game and version ) I always try to use the newest redump iso

keeper7keys commented 5 hours ago

I did test with some config settings variations but the audio still glitches. The ISO I have is the same from cdromance. PS: The audio always glitches at the same spot meaning the exact same locations I recorded.

There's nothing wrong with the ISO. I did a hex comparison. It's the same.

Mikeylovesretro commented 26 minutes ago

@keeper7keys just curious the saroo is the normal or elite version and is your SD card format exfat or fat32?

Also, have you tried using a different SD card as sometimes SD cards can be finicky

keeper7keys commented 8 minutes ago

@Mikeylovesretro It's from retroparadise. (not refurbished parts) Original SD card Class 10 Sandisk. Did you finish the level 14 or just play the beginning?
