Hi just wanted to say this is a great software. congrats to the creator.
The problem I am having is that whenever I try to run any Genesis rom the 700p just resets. I have tried many different roms, .bin, .smd etc nothing works. The NES, SNES, GBC etc works great. the only problem is the genz module I think. I tried the latest version RC3 will try tonight previous version to see if it works.
any advice???
thanks.
Also I am getting around 7.5 Dynamic free memory. At least that what LJP reports.

ok heres what I tried. I installed the genesis module (ljp-gen.zem) of rc2 replacing the one RC3 has and runned LJP RC3. It worked. The only thing I noticed is the emulation is a bit slow. I am pretty sure that the RC3 module is more improved on the Genesis speed. The SNES is a more powerful system and the emulation of it with RC3 is almost perfect. Any help on how to solve this problem?? I want to get working the RC3 module of Genesis on RC3 like it should.
thanks

The Genesis emulation is not any faster in RC3, in fact the ASM core in it is bugged, using the module from RC2 is the way to go  Be sure to put the CPU core at ASM, sound at 22kHz or lower, and maybe some frameskipping to get speed. Enabling the Z80 for sound will cost you a lot of speed as well. |

Do you have the source? The Cyclone thing doesn't compile here.

Yes I should have it, hopefully I have the source before I tried to shoehorn DrZ80 in (which didn't work out for me).
Let me take a look and I'll put up a source code link as well.

Hmm actually it looks like I didn't keep the LJP stuff. I gave up on it a while ago. I'm searching the whole computer now and I'll take a look at my backup CDs but I don't know if I have it anymore.
I do have the Cyclone source and I think I remember how to put the new version in, not hard really. The only problem with the cyclone stuff in rc3 is that the wrong header file of cyclone was used and then the code where it gave an error was commented out to make it compile.

Hello there, What's this cyclone thing you guys are talking about?  Thanks |

Cyclone is the optimized asm cpu core that the Genesis module uses when you select "asm" instead of "c". It is much faster but not as compatible.

vilmos: you mean it's just a question of the wrong header file which gets included by CW? Well, then I might have a look into it :-) The whole LJP stuff does terrible ofter reset my 680, very stupid... Yesterday, I've implmented the keyboard support for the Treo, today I'm heading for the BT-gamepad. I guess I will release it tomorrow. Would be cool to have at least everything complete and working. I'm not sure if I really want to fix this terrible "I'm going to crash randomly when you try to launch me" bug ;-)

That bug is what I was after too, Tinnus fixed it (at least partially) by increasing the stack space in the 68K properties in CW.
Cyclone was just using the wrong cyclone.o and cyclone.h files, they were mismatched, and then the code was commented out to ignore the errors. It is really easy if you implemented Cyclone at all. I'm finding source for rc3 but not with the changes yet. I may just redo it if it is quick enough.

Metaview: contact me on msn vilmos_ at hotmail dot com and I think I can get it going for you. I just got it working with the newer cyclone

metaview:vilmos -- any chance of working together and releasing it as RC4?

Fine by me, and I can release it in the website and such with all due credit to you guys (I'm really fed up with that old crappy code anyway, so feel free to do what you want or fix it, hehe) |
