Yeah, there are at least 7 colors in existence, make use of them all. 

Slightly OT, but mentioned earlier, yeah the new Shonen Famicom Mini has new support for mappers 16,66,152,153,159.

[reyvgm]

Maybe you should add a new coloour on your list, for "not fully fixed, but totally playable, negligible issues".

I already have that: Gray and Yellow. I also have a description box so that people can read what the issues are. Many gray games are pretty much playable, and most yellow games are also pretty much playable, but they both have issues. In the case of gray games, the issues are not fixable, and the yellow ones are fixable but sluffy (or whoever) hasn't been able to fix it so far.

I can't make it clearer than that if people don't read the descriptions.

I should just remove the colors then. People are using colors like they read game scores. They don't read the info, they just look at the score/color.

And for Kirby 3, the only issue is the original SRAM issue (everything else is "perfect").
109C = freezes on final boss (CANNOT complete game)
0000 = ONLY SRAM issue remains

Thanks. I'll figure out later what I'll do with the Kirby 3 entry.

Hah!

Also off-topic (way off-topic), at first I was like "7??" since I was remembering it as ROYGBV. Just looked it up and... Indigo??

[arkiokin]

Thanks. I'll figure out later what I'll do with the Kirby 3 entry.

Yes, no more issues on Kirby3 except those on boss 6 freeze/or SRAM issues (with sluffy's patch notice that with preset ID 0000 alone it wouldn't work, you obviously need a SA-1 extra value to work) so this is why I posted that before :

So, final release for this game should be :

- Kirby's Dreamland 3 (USA) + kirby3-2c.ips patch (0000,0B) + -no-lowlatency : original SNES game = anti-epilepsy OFF
- Kirby's Dreamland 3 (USA)(A410,00) : VC game = anti-epilepsy ON

You can finish the game at 100% with these 2 choices and with soft reset (L+R+Select+Start) to store SRAM for each configuration

One or the other solution lead to no more issues than SRAM issues

[Robin64]

I may be missing something here, but if we're back to having a patch that fixes Kirby 3 except for the SRAM, why aren't we just using the original Preset ID (10A2/A210) with a vanilla Kirby 3? The only problem there was the lack of SRAM saving, right?

[pimpinelephant]

You know... I actually have not played Kirby 3 on 10A2/4 in a REALLY long time, but I think you're absolutely right.

Either way though, I think we would still require Sluffy's blending fix in the future since we also require a new Preset ID.
I believe Sluffy found out that Canoe doesn't like it when the game constantly saves to SRAM 100 times a frame.
But for some reason, Mario RPG's ID does allow it.

Maybe, possibly, another ID out there that also allows it?

[CanoeFan]

I'm not sure if I remember my testing correctly here but I think with A210 Kirby didn't save to SRAM at all even using a soft reset. But I'm not sure with this and someone might check it again.

[arkiokin]

Yes you're right : we can use A410 with vanilla : it should be much more simple than use the patched rom for common people, but this is a VC version of this game, so with some flashing effects and colors of boss butch 6 that are different from the original version.

I personally use the 2 roms versions : one for me with sluffy's patch and another for my 6 years old nephew with this anti-epilepsy protection of A410.

(You can also notice that you can't really combine sluffy's patch + A410 : the result is a mix of anti-epilepsy stuff and normal stuff : useless imho)

And yes A210 leads to not SRAM save with a soft reset (only by save state) A310 seems to work also well with soft reset and without any slowdowns too.

Sluffy's patched rom SRAM work always with soft reset regardless of the pid used (except 9C10 and 9D10 where SRAM works normally)

EDIT : Btw, I tested a lot of things without any results on the SRAM issue like other pid (6810, 9F10 etc) or the use (or not) of SFROM or even tested the 2 software versions of canoe (2.0.7 and 2.0.14, not a big deal since I own 2 SNESC, each one with a different software). Perhaps a miraculous preset ID exist for that, Hope we will find it someday

Why I'm still around? Notified that Kirby 3 patch is being used by Retroarch people and wanted to fix butch boss before leaving. Someone freaked out by me going and got me in touch with foreign hacker. Rest is kitspin's privacy. When kitspin is *cough* (easily) annoyed or bored enough to stop, I won't have debugging help and will be on indefinite leave again.


There's 2 ways to do Canoe gamma:
1) 1/2 blending method, which works almost everywhere including pc emus. This caused some Canoe Rudra glitchy. We figured it doesn't create wrong shades of colors (badly calibrated monitor probably). rudra 2.

2) Turn off sub-layer. Helps hires gradient. But creates that nasty side-effect with the color boxes, which is worse to fix than #1. Opens a color exploit that could run any which way. rudra 3-4.


I'll go through the daily game writeups later. And I do hope people realize that Retroarch is needed for "more than some games" still.

I can't make it clearer than that if people don't read the descriptions.

I should just remove the colors then. People are using colors like they read game scores. They don't read the info, they just look at the score/color.

So you know the truth: people use colors like games scores, and don't read description. So adapt your colors to better convey the meaning of the description. Take advantage of human nature, rather than fight against it. No need to be defensive!

I already tested the Hokuto no Ken games long time ago (: working), like a lot others which had a connection to a manga serie (one of my hobby) : I suppose your current list of games to test is probably not up to date with all the tests (or gameplay sessions) some people did time to time and then add to the common compatibility sheet (and didn't report here or elsewhere, especially if there are no issues to notice).
It's clear that with all the blank boxes of all these japanese games that are now visible in this doc, it can attract more easily people to complete it

[sluffy]

Got an inbox note that snes9x people fixed Slayers for 1.56 (weeks ago)! nmi firing within nmi. I thought Canoe handled that, but maybe not. There you go! I'm not changing patch unless this behavior causes something else to crash. o_O

Something about mode7 wrapping behavior below 0 mark. VOffset:65512. I don't get this (naturally) but I set 211a = c0 to force wrap tile 0.
(see: $81:F728)

Look for the pancrase logo after the Technos one.



And erm. To the nice person (yay!) who's messaging the snes9x authors about bugs fixing (yay some more!), please mention didn't work in 1.55. Have no idea if fixed in github.

God damn, that's some interesting information!
Explains a lot, including why there's darker text with gradient if you're having to turn off sub-layer.

I am personally MORE than happy with the current result of Rudra, it's perfectly fine in my eyes. Simply amazing work Sluffy (and kitspin).


First Rudra, now Star Wars?! Holy cow man!
Fixing all of these old (and very tricky) games!
Again, awesome work, as always!
Especially since your work is reaching farther than just Canoe (Snes9x).

For however long you and kitspin decide to stay, we'll be more than happy to test things for you guys.
I'm always reminded of what Ness' dad says in EarthBound when you save and choose to continue playing.


EDIT:

funaki1.ips = Success!
No more glitchiness during the Pancrase logo screen!
I even played a bit of the game as well.

Talking about Tales of Phantasia, I admired the intro of Japanese version + patch to work on canoe, and 3F12 (it was my first time I experimented the sluffy's great work for canoe on this game) when I just noticed that, at the very end of the intro, where an issue seemed to be here with The Namco picture screen. It's normally this one :



But there I just was able to see "Produced by Namco" and all the background was black without any picture at all. illustration has strangely disappeared ?
