Crash when loading 32X rom in PicoDrive

RetroArch Windows devices
#1

I’m running Windows 10, using the latest RetroArch nightly build as of today, also refreshed PicoDrive (it shows version 1.92).

I’m trying to load the 32x rom: Amazing Spider-Man: Web of Fire.

PicoDrive loads with a black window for about 3-4 seconds, then just crashes and closes automatically.

The log is showing me this: [libretro WARN] warning: wanted to map @06000000, got 0000000013720000

But, I have no idea what that means. Anybody know how to help. One last thing, I tried both Vulkan and GL for the video driver, and it does this on both drivers.

#2

Works ok for me here. Check the bios files, or delete the config files for a fresh start

#3

Thanks, but 32x on PicoDrive doesn’t need BIOS files. At least according to the documentation: https://docs.libretro.com/library/picodrive/

You say “Delete config files” but can you elaborate please? What config files are you referring to?

I can load and play other 32X games just fine, this game tries to load and then crashes. It’s the No-Intro ROM, so I know it’s a good one.

#4

Can you post the full log?

Hmm, nothing’s jumping out at me, but I just verified that that game works fine here on my system. Here’s my MD5 checksum for it: a60b0838a776966e17a8f10b94baddef

#7

Thanks for checking, at least.

My MD5 doesn’t match yours. So, I wonder if it’s my file. I just re-downloaded the no-intro file from 2 separate sources, and neither match your MD5.

#8

If I set retroarch.exe to run in Compatibility mode and set it for Windows 8, then it works!

I’d call it a workaround, but not a fix.

When will Sega 32X games run normally on Windows? On Android, PicoDrive works fine and without problems, but on PC it doesn’t. After all, I like Retroarch, but I can’t check out games from that console on It.

#10

I have no problems running that Spider-Man game using RetroArch 1.8.9 with the picodrive core from a month ago. As basic rule when running on Windows 10, I’d recommend disabling this core option:

picodrive_drc = “disabled”

That’ll increase the compatibility and if you have a gaming PC released in the last 7 years it should easily have enough power to run without that enabled.

#11

I disabled picodrive_drc in the opt-file, as you advised, but running 32X games does not play on my PC. Failed to load content. For the sake of checking, I even started games of other supported platforms, they also do not run. I have a gaming laptop with Windows 10 and not even old at all. On other cores that support Sega platforms, Genesis games work.

As I said earlier, on Android, my PicoDrive emulator works without problems. I think I read somewhere that the emulator was sharpened mainly for Android systems.
