    SILPHEED+Everdrive=bug?

    When I try to play Silpheed (JP) for Mega-CD via the BIOS loading feature of the Everdrive, it freezes at the very start before anything loads. However without the everdrive, my Silpheed loads OK. All other Mega-CD games that I own works like a charm via Everdrive BIOS loading also, so I assume the problem is of the Everdrive and Silpheed exclusively.

    Hardware used:
    - Megadrive model 2 (JP)
    - Mega-CD model 2 (JP)
    - Everdrive PCB 2.2

    Software used:
    - Everdrive OS v14
    - Everdrive FW v9

    BIOS used:
    - Mega-CD BIOS for model 1 (JP)
    - Mega-CD BIOS for model 2 (JP)
    - Russell-region-free-cd-bios

    Has anyone else have the same problem??
    If anybody else can confirm a fix via OS update, can you tell me which version you are using?


    Thanks

    It looks like firmware v12 might fix the issue. Though I cannot be sure since silpheed is the only game you're having issues with.

    So you are able to play Silpheed without any problems on the everdrive OS v12?
    I might give it a try, but it feels bit strange that an OS downgrade fixes the issue...

    He said firmware, not OS. They are two different things.

    cd bios works fine only on carts with firmware v12 or more new. (v12 newest on this moment)

    Hi,
    I confirm, Silpheed not work with everdrive yet.
    Dracula does not work either.
    Both games freeze, Silpheed at startup, dracula just while loading.

    I Have megadrive switched 50/60hz, eu,jap,us.
    Mega cd 1
    32x, my firmware is the 12.
    maybe in futur release of firmware, but for the moment this 2 games doesn't work.
