Dude, you're a machine.

An awesome machine.

A strategy game? Darn. I hate strategy games... Oh well.

I'm not a big strategy fan either but sinse this one's by Wolfteam, I think I might like it.

Awesome work, you're a great man!

Anyone else having problems with this game and latest ZSNES WIP?
If you enable the mouse, it will hang on showing the first map (after you get the first 3 demons). If you don't enable the mouse, it will hang after defeating the first enemy.

And funny thing, when unpatched, the game works fine even with mouse enabled. Bit of a prerelease?

SNES9x works fine, but enabling mouse does nothing there. Pity, the game should be much easier with mouse controls.

Thank you so much. Bliss.

I think Gid tests it on the real hardware. If we fail at playing it, it's not his fault but ours.

But that doesn't exactly mean that he plays the game using the mouse, right? Maybe the patch overwrites some mouse code or something.
If only the mouse thingy worked in Snes9x.

If I remember right, a similar thing happens with the mouse function in "Revolution X," or whatever the Aerosmith game is. It might just be a problem with ZSNES, but who knows.

Hiouden and the mouse both work fine in ZSNES 1.337, so it's a problem with the emulator, not my patch. I can almost guarantee you that the reason the unhacked version "works" in the current ZSNES is that there's some sort of hacky code in the emulator that contains a hardcoded check against the "good" rom's checksum, and alters some improperly emulated behavior in the emulator that causes the game to crash.

Okay, thanks for the answer. Gotta hunt for the l33t version then.

just a guess

Using Zsnes1.337 after pressing game start I get a blank screen, but music starts playing and such as though it's still moving.

What's up with that?

Also if I didn't know better I would swear to god that zsnes doesn't soft patch anymore. Zsnes1.40+ has forced me to hard patch everything

Post by **Agozer** » Wed Oct 19, 2005 10:23 pm

The current versions do soft-patch.

nailbiter · Post by **nailbiter** » Thu Oct 20, 2005 12:47 am

I know it's *supposed* to but you'll have to convince my computer of that.

Johan_H · Post by **Johan_H** » Thu Oct 20, 2005 8:18 am

If you have specified a save directory, try putting your IPS' there. Worked for me.
I have no idea why.

Turn softpatching ON
Then when you load the ROM, the info at the bottom on the screen will have 'IPS' if it's actually soft-patched.

nailbiter · Post by **nailbiter** » Thu Oct 20, 2005 7:19 pm

It is turned on.
I'm thinking what Johan said would work though.
