Try this:

Run Sonic 2, do the level select and debug codes

Go into 2 player vs mode

Go into any level with debug enabled

Select the animal container thingy (last object) and place it



Crashes everytime. Was this previously known? I see no reason for it to crash. You can do that just fine in other emulators and on the actual cart. That's the second bug I've found in Kega.

Ouch, the entire emulator crashes. Yep, definitely a bug. Probably something in the VDP code for interlace mode 2. Steve popped his head into SpritesMind a few days ago, and made a non-committing mention of a possible update to Kega, in light of the new YM2612 info. You might want to send him a PM about this crash, and the other bug you've come across. It's probably pretty easy for him to fix. Here's a link to his profile page.

Thanks Nemesis. I sent him a PM, so we shall see what he has to say I guess.

Hah, that's pretty weird. I've also got it to do a Windows crash once while I was porting the S3K rings manager over to S2 and hadn't fixed up the teleportation RAM vars list - IIRC whenever you activated a teleport monitor in 2P mode the rings manager RAM values would screw up, but instead of the game crashing Kega itself would have a windows crash :o

Fusion crashes a lot when you use write buggy 68k/sh2 code. I'm not sure if it shouldn't, but it'd be nice if it threw an alert instead :P

[Overlord]

Yep, does it here too. Until today I had no idea debug mode was even DOABLE in 2P mode - what were you doing at the time to find this bug? =P

Also, if Steve's updating Fusion, get him to throw in that SVP code the Picodrive guy wrote

Ooh, yes please.

Steve Snake won't use anyone else's code. If (when) he adds SVP emulation, it'll be his own code.

[Nemesis]

Well, I wouldn't start talking about a new version of Kega like it's a sure thing. A bugfix release is one thing, but significant enhancements are something else entirely.

[TmEE]

(let the people dream :P)

Here's the message I got from Steve:

Crashes the emulator everytime, and Nemesis confirmed it crashes for him too. I thought you'd probably have interest in knowing this.

Sure do. Thanks! I'd never heard about this one before. Found and fixed

the YM2612 synthesis seems to have a problem with the envelopes.

Well, there is something with the envelopes that only Kega is doing correctly. The type of thing you are hearing *can* happen on real hardware, as some people who have complained about this have since discovered. It does seem as though it happens more often in Kega, though. Which obviously is not good.

Anyway I've made many small tweaks to the thing (actually, quite a while ago now...) and it should be pretty much 100% the same as the real thing now.

I'll release a new version shortly once I've done a few things I need to do.

Thanks again

Sounds good to me =)

Ah, new version shortly... excellent.

[Sik]

Will it work with my joystick? D=

[Overlord]

Hopefully one of those things is SVP emulation, then I can finally start using Fusion as my only MegaDrive emulator again =P

[King]

I wonder if a certain limitation will actually be removed in the official version, like I have in a special version...
