clownmdemu – Yet More Fixes

BlastBrothers is back at it again with the bug-hunting, so here are some more fixes! Fix After Burner II‘s Audio After Burner II is fascinating: it plays PCM samples using the PSG channels, rather than the DAC channel. Because there is only one DAC channel, but multiple PSG channels, this allows the game to play

clownmdemu – The First Fixes of 2024

Fixed the Title Cards in Sonic Crackers I have tested many Sonic games and ROM-hacks in my emulator, but I have never tried the famous Chaotix prototype – Sonic Crackers. If I did, I would have noticed an obvious bug that affects its title cards: This bug had flown under the radar for over two

In the last post, I mentioned that my emulator does not use the Mega CD’s BIOS program because it favours the ‘High-Level Emulation’ approach. In this post, I’ll go over what that means and how it will affect my emulator. Other emulators, such as Genesis Plus GX and Kega Fusion, require that the user provide

clownmdemu – Booting Sonic CD

If you’ve been keeping up with the development of my Mega Drive emulator, you’ll know that I’ve recently been trying to add support for the console’s addon – the Mega CD. Last time, I was able to get a cartridge-based Sonic ROM-hack to boot. This hack made fairly-minimal use of the Mega CD, making it
