I've had Zero luck with Tower of Gazzel and Turbo R St. No matter what options I try. I'm using SofaRun.

Unrelated but has anybody managed to start Spelunker with SofaRun? I just get a black screen and then machine reset. I'm using JVC HC-7GB.

Found one weird issue. If I scroll down to the PSG settings, SofaRun hangs. This happens both in the ROM specific and the SofaRun default settings menu. A known issue?

Can you try to reset the game to its default settings and then reload ?

Unfortunately same result. SR hangs immediately I reach the PSG setting menu item. Actually it seems to do the same if I go to the upmost menu item "Apply" Something to do with menu items "outside" the screen? I tested this in both 40 column and 80 column mode. Same result.

With SR 2.5 the menu seems to work ok.

That's caused by invalid settings. The game-specific settings or also the "SofaRun & default" settings.

But do not change anything right now ! I'm working on a new release of SofaRun that shold fix this (you should see the corrupted settings displayed as "**Invalid**" and it should not crash. I'll post a beta version here in the next hour.

Invalid settings can be caused by changing your version of SofaRun, or by file corruption (reset when writing to SD Card, or issues on some old or beta Nextor versions...).

EDIT: Ok, ZIP is ready. You can download it here

This is awesome news Louthrax Thank you so much! Any way to donate via Paypal? This software is so cool!

*EDIT*

Works like a charm! There was invalid setting for one of the psg channels apparently. Thank you!

Ah, good, I wanted to be sure the protection I added was working

I never took the time to create a "patreon" or something to receive donations, but I'll try to setup something (like Nestor did for Nextor) for the next release of SofaRun.

But SofaRun will always remain totally free!

I got it running perfectly. On my GT I had to add some disk delay to get the graphics working in the intro demo. What happens on your system?

Vaxol: Heavily Armed Storming Vehicle (1987) (MSX) not woking for sofarun

Until now, I tried running romload.com for roms that could not be run on sofarun, and if it still did not run, finding and running modified roms ran almost all of them. This rom is abandonment. I've been looking for a dsk version, but it doesn't work as well.

The symptom is a problem that only the arrow keys on the keyboard and the fire keys do not work. The joypad does not work at all.

Hello, has anyone experienced a weird behaviour using zipped files?. I'm using sofarun 7.0 and when trying to open a zipped file, it launchs sofasms as if it were a sega rom. I tried to open the same file with a previous version of sofarun(i think it's 2.3 and it opens perfectly and can unzip and launch the contents. I checked the sr.ini files but they have configured the .zip exts. Anyone?
Thanks in advance!
