Regen for Linux and Windows

[King Of Chaos]

I did. I was able to extract the contents, but the emulator itself crashed.

Add it into the extracted area of a past copy of the emulator. If you try to run the EXE alone, it'll crash and give you this error...

Noticed a weird bug in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (U)[!] while running Regen 0.93. and this happens when I do the Super Sonic cheat (19, 65, 9, 17 and then on the start menu - 4, 1, 2, 6...and then you hear a chime indicating you did it right). Well, on Kega Fusion 3.51, you hear a chime after pressing "6"; but in Regen 0.93, when you press "6" there's no chime but just the original music. If I can, I'll upload a youtube video or something, but this is weird!

Edit: Hmm...I stand corrected; you can still transform to super sonic, but a bug prevents one from knowing until you get 50 rings.

Edit 2: And loading save states still cause garbage on the screen as seen here:

takezo edit: next time i'll just kill your post. you're warned.

... NATIVE RES. Or thumbnails. We don't give a shit about your 2048*1200 image.

Not a bug, you have to always get 50 rings to turn into Super Sonic. If you hear the chime, it's a good indication that the cheat is enabled.

Then again, you could always use this PAR code; FFFFB1:0007

[neo_bahamut1985]

Oh, don't worry; it works fine. I just needed a chime, but not necessary. Still, the issue with savestates...

@Grinvader: Sorry! I'll keep that in mind

And yes, I'm well aware I double posted for no reason.

...he says without fixing the picture.

Regen already has localization support? And it only started in February??
Parumph! Show off :P

Oh and it's not 2048x1200; my monitor's set at the highest resolution, which is WUXGA (1440x900) and that jpeg is 951x581. But, anyways, does Regen's author know of the save/load state issues?

*sigh*

[neo_bahamut1985]

Look, I'm just trying to make a point; the point is, savestates will not work properly.

It had it at least 2 months ago.

Why did you put that pic up then ? Obviously you can do without.

[neo_bahamut1985]

To better explain what the bug looks without actually explaining. I don't know if this happens to every user or not. I'm really sorry for not choosing a thumbnail or comparable, though. It's just somewhat frustrating not being able to save/load state properly.

[Deathlike2]

Please do not rape dial-up.

[neo_bahamut1985]

Uh...crap...my bad! But he is away of the Regen bug...right?

[King Of Chaos]

Yeah, there's savestate issues with Regen (with its own savestates, and savestates from Gens and Kega). There's also SRAM issues with Regen too, especially when loading Gens or Kega SRAM.

[neo_bahamut1985]

Well, the .sram files I do make (like Sonic 3 for example) don't show up when I come back to use it again.

[King Of Chaos]

Yeah, confirmed for both savestates and SRAM.

[neo_bahamut1985]

About the savestates...I figured out a way that somewhat prevents corruption. Unfortunately, it doesn't work all the time, but it usually works. What you do is you have to make a manual save (naming it in the menu). The trick is to pause the game before you do it so you still have sound. Again, certain games it works okay in others the graphics totally screw up and the sound is gone. I certainly hope AamirM has this to his "to do" list for a future release. This is what I meant to say in my earlier posts.

[AamirM]

Hi,

Sorry for a bit late reply. I was away due to some unexpected project/internship work getting in the way.

@ I.S.T. :
You can place it in a past copy of Regen. You can also install it in another place but you will just need to copy the "Fonts" (available in a previous releases) to the same location.

@ neo_bahamut1985:
I don't know how savestates got broken again. I thought I fixed it. But I'll try and fix them (again). As for the SRAM issue, you must check "Use SRAM and EEPROM" from the "System" submenu. They are working fine for me here. I can't tell why they are not working for others. These two are already on my 'todo' list.

stay safe,

AamirM

[neo_bahamut1985]

Oh, sorry! I wasn't aware of that! My bad!

[King Of Chaos]

Well, I can load an SRAM file from Kega that's working in Kega (and Gens), but it isn't working in Regen.

You can try it here for the game Sonic 3 & Knuckles (just make sure you rename the game/SRAM file to match each other).

Well, is there any way to prevent the crash from happening? Couldn't it just create a default font file, so this crash doesn't occur?

[neo_bahamut1985]

Your zip file's no longer available for DL, King of Chaos

[King Of Chaos]

Blah, try grabbing it from here.
