Alright time for a little report, actually more like a big report, I spent hours testing all games I got, here's the results (
FIX94 maybe you can look into these?):
**Nintendont 2.198**
RED = Doesn't work
Orange = Works with issues
Yellow = Low priority
Green = Nitpick
-
Frogger Ancient Shadow [GFPEA4]:
Still
black screen on start, never worked before as far as I know, it works fine in DM(L) though.
-
Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 [GGPE02]:
Still
crashes at the camera screen.
-
Virtua Striker 4 v2006 [GVSJ8P]:
Still
black screen on start.
-
Sonic Adventure DX (Chao Race) [GXSE8P]:
Game still
crashes before Chao race starts, now I can't even get to the Chao select screen for some reason, I did some testing and it
worked in r164 but broke in r181 so it broke somewhere in between.
-
Sonic Adventure DX (Alpha) [RELSAB]:
Black screen, game doesn't work, just like the Chao Race in the final version, I did some testing and
it worked in r164 (though for some reason Sonic doesn't stop walking if you let go of the analog stick, I remember it worked perfect in the earlier builds before the fix for the final game) however it's broken in r181 so I guess just like the Chao Race it broke somewhere in between r164 and r181.
-
Sonic Mega Collection (Proto) [GS0E8P]:
Genesis games work with
no audio but they work fine in the final version,
it worked in r164.
-
Sonic Gems Collection (Sonic CD) [G2XE8P]:
Exiting from Sonic CD causes the game to crash (luckily after it saves your progress)
it worked last
in r181.
-
Virtua Striker 2002 [GVSE8P]:
If you start the game with memory card turned off the game asks if you want to start the game without save, if you accept the game freezes, same issue happens if you enable (emulated) memory card and get a "format" message for the first time, the only way to get the game running is in mutli-memory option (confirm?).
-
Midway Arcade Treasures 2 [GAYE5D]:
Aside from the
noise at the game start the game works fine.
-Pac-Man World 2 [GP2E69]:
Game
works fine
if you start it from the Nintendot loader, but
it doesn't work if you run it from USB-Loader GX (I guess this issue is related to USB-Loader GX rather than Nintendont, perhaps
Cyan can explain this one?).
-Taxi 3 [GXQF41]:
Same exactly as Pac-Man World 2,
works from the Nintendont loader but crashes if you run it from USB-Loader GX, I noticed both games are PAL region only (I don't think either one of them was ever released as true NTSC) so maybe that's a start point since I don't have any other PAL games in my GC collection.
****************************************************************************************
Other than that I didn't encounter any issues, except of course
Mario Kart Arcade GP 1 doesn't save yet, on the plus side here are some games that I noticed worked better now:
-
Soul Calibur 2 seems to
work fine now, played for an hour without any crashes, beat both Arcade and Extra Arcade and then played some more, confirm?
-
Mega Man X Command Mission also
worked fine, no crashes here either, played for a couple of hours and beat the first chapter, encountered as many battles as I could find, no crashes so far, though I could be just lucky, can anyone confirm?
-
Soft reset combo (R+Z+Start)
worked fine with every game I tested (except for Mario Kart Arcade GP which is understandable), not sure when it was fixed though but I guess it's been fixed.
JoostinOnline I noticed
Peach's Castle doesn't appear in the games list in Nintendont but the game runs fine from USB-Loader GX, maybe you can look into that?
