Regen 0.93 Beta 4 + new Debuggers

Hi,

Sound issue: Phantasy Star III

Disclaimer: I heard this problem using your injected in_gme.dll which I understand is somewhat outdated.

The song "Skyhaven" seems a little louder than the other ones, and it distorts very noticeably. Related to CV: Bloodlines BGM 26 crackles? I think so.

Just noticed that "Satellite" is also pretty loud and might be distorting.

Can you provide the savestates please?

There isn't a very good UI to show whether the "Overclock M68000" feature is enabled. Perhaps a checkmark next to the menu entry might do? Also, what do I need to do to turn the overclocking back off?

Noted down. A dirty way to turn off overclocking is to restart the emu

.

stay safe,

AamirM

I suppose if VGMs played with VGM_PLAY will suffice. I'm not playing through the whole grueling RPG.

In that case, I'll just send you the rom I build.

The Phantasy Star III songs don't sound as bad (if at all) in Regen, but I included other known problematic songs.

No, because that wouldn't be a "Fixed Aspect", would it?

Kega does exactly what the *users* asked for it to do. Now that a user has asked for something else, it does that too...

In a new version of Kega, an automatic option would be greatly appreciated.

I'll try that out today.

Okay, thanks for clearing that up.

Feature Request: VGM logging at the correct sample rate!

Its up to the VGM player (or plugin) to play it at the correct rate. VGM is just a file containing writes to the sound chips.

That's what I thought, until the responses on this thread said differently: http://forums.project2612.org/showthrea ... =2865#2865

Either way, VGM logging (and playback!) would be great features for your emulator. Highest quality WAV writing!

Completely wrong.

VGM logs writes at 44100Hz, which is overkill. That, however, has nothing to do with the playback rate. You can interpret the file at 44100Hz, and playback the output at anything you like.

So, yes. The quality of existing VGMs *WILL* go up. Nothing will need to be re-logged, and emulators do not need to be changed in any way.

That's a huge relief.

Re-logging all those VGMs would be a job. I'll inform that thread.

Regen already logs wav at the correct rates (without any resampling at 53267hz in superhq mode) if thats what you wanted.

To put it another way - nothing that's been 'discovered' I didn't already know (apart from CSM, which is *not* used in any games anyway - even then I already knew about it, just not how it was used - because nothing uses it

) and Kega already logs VGMs just fine, right?

Hi,

Mega Turrican track 2 does actually enables the CSM mode but yeah doesn't really makes any difference.

Hi, first of all thanks for your hard work in this excellent emulator. It quickly became my first choice in Genesis emulation and really have been enjoying it so far. I have a few ideas & suggestions I want to share

- In the readme it says 'only 2x filters are supported for now'
Does it mean it is possible to manually add Super2Xsai filter by putting it into the plugin folder ? If not , I'd like to kindly suggest it because I believe it makes nice graphics without taxing the system much

-I thought an option such as 'switch to full screen on rom load' may come handy

Thanks again for the nice work
