NINTENDONT VS. DEVOLUTION

Ah yus! Nintendont is our saviour! (the wonderful people working on it haha) Hail!

Thanks for the Audio Streaming, Fix94. I played Crash Bandicoot, and while some of it sounded quiet, I could hear the music and everything.

Why not use the Genesis emulator to emulate Sonic CD?

Because I prefer the version in Sonic Gems Collection!

Actually I think the version in Sonic Gems Collection of Sonic CD is a port of the PC version and not the Sega CD one.
You can tell by the opening FMV which was only in the PC version with that quality.
+1 for Sonic Gems.

I'm fully aware of that, I'm not sure why many don't like the PC version I liked it better!

What's the difference?

Also, let's not stray too far out of topic, remember this is a Nintendont thread, not a Sonic CD PC Vs. Sega CD thread. XD

What's the difference?

For a starter the opening cutscene is more complete and all cutscsnes are high quality, also the PC version has the spindash sound bug fixed, and this is a personal thing but the Gesm Collection version has a pause menu!

Guess I'll keep on using Devo for this game till a better fix comes out, I'm fine with that for the time being till a proper fix comes out!

Anyway I just wanted to throw this out, I tested Crash Bandicoot and the game runs fine now, not sped up, also Virtua Striker 2002 works flawlessly, I did notice that loading save data now takes a split second longer, not sure what's causing that but it's a tiny price for having audio streaming!

Because besides Sonic CD, it also has Sonic Fighters and Sonic R, which to my knowledge are not currently playable in the Wii...
Well Sonic R is playable, but with low framerate in Yabause Wii.

Both games work fine with Nintendont!

something is wrong with your iso. I checked the ntsc version and someone checked the pal already

Edit: the pal version was checked on page 591 and reported working perfectly

Thanks for the Audio Streaming, Fix94. I played Crash Bandicoot, and while some of it sounded quiet, I could hear the music and everything.

I noticed this too but I simply turned up my tv and it sounded perfectly

 

[WiiUBricker]

FIX94 Can you perhaps explain how you managed to get streaming audio working? Afterall that was something declared impossible by some respected devs back in the day apparently because of being a hardware issue.

Ok I've tried again with 1:1 iso and it worked, but the image does not show correctly cause the its cut at the bottom edge, causing many letters that are not shown.

The PC/GC Sonic CD is the better version, it's smooth and never slows down, unlike the Sega CD version. I can't see anyone going back to the original version after playing the GC one.

A splash screen is something that would be nice indeed.

Am I the only one that thinks splash screens are unnecessary? cIOS or anything else for that matter don't have one, and I don't need something telling me I'm using "insert-tacky-hb-name-here" whenever I load them games. One could even have a USB loader show the image+animation, instead of forcing it on every user.

Force PAL50
(someone just posted that in another thread)
it should be added as note on the compatibility list.

I'm curious about that too, since Dios Mios never had it. Also, how should I test these games more effectively?

 

[Cyan]

DIOS MIOS didn't have enough space left to add it.

What would you suggest be the best way to thoroughly test games?

best way is always full isos and just play them for awhile, theres nothing more to it.

Fair enough, I don't compress/shrink them (as I ripped them from USB Loader GX), so that part should be fine. So just play them for a while? Gotcha.

I recommend playing for at least an hour each one of them to be sure, and try to be a all over the place, try different options, different missions, gameplay mechanics, mini-games, etc.
