I hope this new topic will encourage the development of the emulator and avoid arguments.

Hey there guys. Just did some more testing with the new fork. I've found that Christmas Nights into Dreams has some problems seeing the menus. But it gives a stack dump when you start loading a game. I found that Creature Shock Special Edition doesn't even load past the BIOS screen. And D loads the "Press Start" screen, but then won't go bast a black screen.

Also amazingly. Death Throttle plays the FMV at 47 FPS! That's the first FMV from the Saturn that I've seen play on my Wii U. That is fucking amazing. Great job man. And the game plays but the colors are all jacked the way Nights is. Simply amazing.

None of these are regressions mind you. Just things I've found through more testing.

And a request from my friend @ploggy. I tried installing your new forwarder on my NAND and I got an error. I installed it on my USB and that worked fine. But I went to look for it and I couldn't find it! I looked around, and it took the place of my FCEUX RX forwarder It occurs to me now, as it's been forever since I made a forwarder, that you have to use certain numbers when you create it. And if you use a number that another program does, it over writes it. I hate to ask you man, but could you please remake it using a different number? Maybe use a random number generator? Thanks man.

Great work guys. I've got some more testing to do and I'll post it as it comes.
