@ded_ hi, this is something only @frode can investigate/assist you with. you have to wait until he checks whats going on there.

Hello! I've added a couple of Mortal Kombat 1 manuals (including for Sega Genesis) and wanted to make them public, so everyone could download them, but gives me API error?

TODO: Graphic corruption at bottom once you start moving in-game. Probably a game issue (possibly in overscan area). Same in all emulators. Crop away using viewport.

In-game graphics uses a cropped display (256x224) without setting Mega Drive registers accordingly, so there is a left and right black border. It could be cropped away using the viewport setting, but then parts of the title/menu screen would be cropped away as well.

This game has a competitive / simultaneous mode, updated the players field.

This is a game requiring 3-button mode according to segaretro.org. Configuration updated accordingly.

TODO: This game has huge borders, which ideally should be cropped away. Emulator support is not there yet, and also, annoyingly, title and ingame screens use different sizes.

PROBLEM: Extended test report:

• Mednafen-FS 0.9.47fs6: Missing ingame sound/music, aspect ratio is weird (square-ish), and the game freezes after a few seconds in combat.
• RetroArch-FS/Genesis-Plus-GX: Seems to work fine.
• MAME-FS: To be determined.

@thevoice Chinese language (zh) can now be specified.

@thevoice It is now possible to specify russian language

ingame language is russian. unfortunately the laucher lacks support to set this language.

PROBLEM: the game acts strange. it randomly goes game over without substracting a live. tested with mednafen 0.9.48 and 1.21.2.

PROBLEM: Freezes after a few seconds in combat. Tested with Mednafen 0.9.48 and 1.21.2.

PROBLEM: hangs when the fight is about to begin. tested with mednafen 0.9.48 and 1.21.2.

PROBLEM: hangs when triggering a sprite collision. tested with mednafen 0.9.48 and 1.21.2

PROBLEM: just a black screen due to a rom check. common method to defeat copiers back in time. has to be tackled inside the emulator. tested with mednafen 0.9.48 and 0.9.47 plugin.

PROBLEM: hangs in a black screen after the sega logo.

The game must be run in PAL mode. Running in NTSC mode just works with the middle scenario. The first and last scenario end in just black screen.

the game hangs with a black screen. tested with mednafen 0.9.47 plugin and 0.9.48

language is chinese. unfortunately not suppoted ?

TODO: @ frode can this one merged the other way around ? darius ii as parent would fit better imho .

PROBLEM: all one get is a black screen. in other words the title does not work. tested with 0.9.47 plugin and 0.9.48.

PROBLEM: hangs with black screen. tested with 0.9.47 plugin aswell as with 0.9.48.

PROBLEM: from stage 3 on (at least it triggered the first time for me at this stage) random eggs which you have to collect reset the game back to the sega logo. this is a classic battery ram protection pretty much the same as in nfl quarteback club. it was done back in time to defend against copier systems like pro fighter and magicom.technically its easy to patchc. but no-intro allows only unaltered roms. so its up to the emulator devs to stunt around this.

PROBLEM: game crashes when you can select which pad plays which team. tested with mednafen plugin 0.9.47 and mednafen 0.9.48.

PROBLEM: it's impossible to select one of the 3 types of game right after the title (buttons have no function). tested with mednafen plugin 0.9.47 and mednafen 0.9.48.

PROBLEM: the game hangs with either black screen or a message " Illegal instruction at $280 in SEGA library" when you are about to start a match. tested with mednafen 0.9.47 plugin and mednafen 0.9.48.

PROBLEM: mednafen seem to have a problem with saving kinds. you can create characters to start the game. then when you switch to the inn to add the characters, they are gone again . also it looks like that mednafen entirely skips saving data to the battery save. tested with mednafen 0.9.48.

name of the brazil region variant is: YuYu Hakusho - Sunset Fighters

unfortunately we have no such an game_name option

ingame language seem to be chinese not japanese.

ingame language is actually chinese not japanese.

ingame language seems to be chinese. but the database does not support it unfortunately.

PROBLEM: the World version hangs on a black screen after the superfighters.com screen. tested with mednafen plugin 0.9.47 aswell as with 0.9.48.

PROBLEM: once the race starts the game suffers from major flickering which makes it unplayable. tested with mednafen 0.9.47 plugin and 0.9.48.

just a compilation. can be disabled.

correct name is : spider-man vs. the kingpin.

Please purge the back cover as its from the European version.

TODO: @frode could this one be reverse merged ? soldier of fortune into the chaos engine. the euro variants is way more known and matches other platforms then

just a compilation. can be disabled.

just a compilation. can de disabled.

PROBLEM: hangs in an endless loop, while creating a save state right after start. tested with mednafen 0.9.48.

FAQ: The Japanese release lacks the Smart Bombs from the USA release entirely but have a shield function which the USA release misses.. Also the powerup mechanics are different.

PROBLEM: The European version suffers from major slowdowns which make the game pretty unplayable. The Japanese and USA release work fine. tested with mednafen 0.9.48.

@thevoice Fatal Rewind now merged into The Killing Game Show!

PROBLEM: The game shows major graphical corruption once the race starts. Tested with mednafen 0.9.48

@frode : can this one merged the other way ? the killing game show as parent and the us variant as merged in title ? this way it would fit the title from the other platforms. ans im not exactly certain how to do it correct.

its just a compilation and sohuld be disabled.

Should be disabled as it's just a 2 game collection.

PROBLEM: Does not work with Mednafen 0.9.48. Black screen after the title picture but the game seem to run, as you can hear jump sounds when preessing a button.

If you use the delivered cheatcodes. MAke sure you enable them once to enable the level skipper, then disable them again and re-enable them once you are inside a level. Keep them enabled all the time makes the game crash when entering a stage.

name of the cginese release is : Wu Kong Wai Zhuan.

Somehow i am unable to control the wagon on stage 2, so i always end hitting a tree. if someone figures it out tell me or post screens beyond stage 2

Hmm, yes, it looks like Bloodshot is the European (non-Genesis) title. If you start with PAL mode, the title screen actually shows Bloodshot. This is what happens from FS-UAE Launcher. Because the ROM is labelled "Europe", the importer has specified PAL model for this variant. I assume you started the game manually.

So it is possible that the variant is really a dual-region ROM released in both Europe and USA (and that the No-Intro name is wrong?), since it changes title screen based on system region...

Somehow the titlescreen names the game Battle Frenzy

PROBLEM: The game crashes right after the electronic arts screen as of Mednafen 0.9.48.

PROBLEM: The game is not really compatible with Mednafen. Part of the story is to get a heal spell from the magician in the first town. Once you trigger this event the emulation resets back to the title screen.

@thevoice I've added game_name_se

PS: For languages tag, language codes are used. for game_name_XX, I use country/region codes, since it's not the language here that matters, but what name the game was released as in a given country/region.

name of the swdish variant is : Elitserien 96

We kinda also need a game_name_sv for swedish variants

name of the swedish version is : Elitserien 95

I assume also genesis suffer from the halfcolorbug

CHEAT: Pause the game then press and hold A and press UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT to finish the level.

game is in korean language, unfrotunately the databases lack kr for language.

Wikipedia states the name of the japanese release as: I Love Mickey Mouse: Fushigi no Oshiro Daibouken

Fixed

Fixed

Fixed, and added a new key "game_name_au" to the database

The Australian name is: Shane Warne Cricket

Korean name is also: The Story of Thor

korean name is : Battle Mania Daiginjou

The full nane of this title is ATP Tour Championship Tennis

Alex Kidd - Cheongong Maseong is the korean release. unfortunately we lack a game_name_ko.

Alex Kidd - Cheongong Maseong this oone can be removed i c&p the wrong title xD

PROBLEM: Default gamepad controls are not ideal (jump and fire buttons too far apart).

PROBLEM: Top of screen flickers in-game with PAL version using Mednafen.

This is a collection of the old NES megaman 1-3. All 3 games have different resolutions so screens differ in size a bit.
