Hi all I have some problems with some game gear roms (graphx glitches etc) I want to share with you all. Here they are : GG Gunstar Heroes (JAP) (Sprites glitches - Not working) GG Rastan Saga (JAP) (Not working - Game Freeze at startup screen) ...anyone else to confirm ?
Patriwth! I can confirm these are broken. Actually Rastan Saga doesn't freeze, it just ignores all key presses.
Rastan Saga is actually an SMS game, running on Game Gear using SMS compatibility mode. Try renaming it as .sms and see if input work after that, could be that GG Everdrive is not switching the console into Master System mode and inputs are working differently in Game Gear mode. About the other game, sprite glitches are somewhat frequent on Game gear / Master System because of hardware limitations so if you see disappearing or flickering sprites, that's normal.
Gunstar Heroes glitches very badly on the stage select screen and then crashes on the first stage. I've tried 4 different roms, all with the same result Also games that I found don't work: Predator 2 (bad dump I think) New Zealand Story (glitching, from being PAL I think) Chase HQ (both GG and SMS versions) Megumi Rescue (bad dump, player doesn't control correctly) Outrun Europa
more games that don't work: GG Doraemon (all versions I could find online) dont run (glitch and froze at title screen) GG Turrican Demo port doesn't run Nazo Puyo (puyo puyo one) Fantastic Dizzy Krikzz, any chance you'll update compatibility sometime? I really would like to play Gunstar Heroes Edit: found a wolfchild dump that works. though no sound...probably just that bad of a port lol.
UPDATE: with the release of OS 7, more games are working now! I also did some poking around to see if I could get some better ROM dumps and info: Working Now: GG Doraemon (hellyeah) GG Turrican Demo (glitches still, but playable now) Fantastic Dizzy Nazo Puyo Outrun Europa (SMS) Chase HQ (SMS, only with the PAL 50hz modification. glitches otherwise) New Zealand Story (only with the PAL 50hz modification. glitches otherwise) Don't Work Still: Gunstar Heroes (GG) Rastan Saga (GG) Predator 2 (GG) Chase HQ (GG) Megumi Rescue (bad dump, player doesn't control correctly) Outrun Europa (GG) I am not sure this is true. I took screenshots on emulation of both and they have different title screens, different in game music, and even different power up icons. I attached pics to show the difference. The same for Chase HQ, SMS/GG ROMs have slightly different graphics. There is something the flash cart can't handle with these types of converted games I think. -Segasonicfan
I can't get , Crazy Faces (Proto), Fire Track (Homebrew) and Madoh Monogatari (Engl. hack) to run. Crazy Faces and Fire Track have grafical issues and freezes at the Sega Logo. Madoh Monogatari has huge grafical issues with the ingame text.
