Kronos Start button key not working with ST-V game (Linux PC)

thingsiplay · 12 April 2024 16:20

Kronos (core) installed and Cotton 2 game rom from MAME cotton2.zip loads fine, music plays, title screen shows up and I can insert coins. But the Start button does not work, even though its setup. Rom works fine in MAME, controller works fine with other cores and when I try Kronos with a different controller results in same issue. So it seems to be controller independent. Sidenote, the keyboard key for Start button does not work too, even if I explicitly set a specific key for it in the Controls menu of RetroArch.

I tried to load Cotton 2 (Japan).chd as a native Saturn game in Kronos; and it works fine with Start button and I can play the game. Just the ST-V arcade game does not work (at least the Start button).

I found this closed issue for Yabause (which Kronos is based on) without much information or resolution that might be relevant: https://github.com/libretro/yabause/issues/300 And another user from RetroArch reported same issue of Start button not reacting in Kronos core in this place: MAME games to complement FBNeo

I’m on a Linux system. RetroArch 1.18 and all files updated, core Kronos just installed and Bios files present.

same issue. If I enter game service mode and test the inputs, start button works fine. But not in-game Only way to skip the issue is to set multi-cabinet which gives you a time out. This way you can skip the coin sequence but have to watch all cut scenes. Though when game starts not only start button but none of the controls work at all. Only time start works is in the first screen with the coin

Ah nice, I didn’t realize the option “ST-V Service/Test Buttons” existed. I can also confirm once activated the menu and opened up, the Start button is working in the input test menu of Kronos cabinet settings. Even with Cotton 2 loaded in the Start button works in the test menu.

BarbuDreadMon · 13 April 2024 05:53

I’d recommend writing a report at https://github.com/FCare/Kronos/issues

thingsiplay · 13 April 2024 07:03

OK so I did, including the description from this post: https://github.com/FCare/Kronos/issues/1529

shakalakka · 1 December 2024 10:25

same issue here. Is there a solution ?

thingsiplay · 1 December 2024 15:01

Hi, yes. The developer FCare implemented a fix announcing it in this reply https://github.com/FCare/Kronos/issues/1529#issuecomment-2492443810

Fixed with c891b97 and b07079b on sequential_vdp1 branch. Will be fixed on next release

I wanted to wait until its upstream before posting it here. So we need to wait a little bit, but its solved as it seems. Will test it when its here.

zomgugoff · 2 January 2025 00:51

Kronos 2.7.0 has been released, although strangely the repo has not been updated with this version.

thingsiplay · 2 January 2025 04:04

This is weird indeed: https://github.com/FCare/Kronos , Maybe Github is not the main development platform and is only used for backup reasons (lot of projects do this). The YouTube account link to https://tradu-france.com/wiki-emu-compatibility/index.php?title=Accueil and the source code is closed. I assume shortly the Github source will be updated.

gouchi · 3 January 2025 14:56

IIUC, the default branch for Kronos project is extui-align. Fixes have been provided in the sequential_vdp1 branch. So it should be merged to the default branch to get the fix.

I don’t know where does this version 2.7.0 come from as there is no tag 2.7.0 ?

Moreover, the Libretro core will need to be updated afterwards.

But @BarbuDreadMon will know more about it.

Thank you.

BarbuDreadMon · 3 January 2025 15:27

A number of things broke in the libretro port from the 2.6.2 and 2.7.0 updates, hence why it’s stuck at 2.6.1. I might or might not look into this in the future (actually i already did and it was a waste of time), i prefer working on FBNeo when i have some time available for coding, which is already rare those days.

shakalakka · 5 January 2025 08:39

Was there any Version without the start-issue? Kronos s the only way to play sega STV Games in RA and there are really cool Games not working because of this. I found Guardian force, Radiant silvergun and Cotton. Perhaps there are more. Or maybe it is possible to “just” fix the start Button issue for v 2.6.1?

MAME supports STV somewhat, some 2d games are almost fine. Mednafen saturn has preliminary support for it in upstream, it would need to be ported to the retroarch core.

STV for Current MAME is slow for me. Mednafen saturn would be great if it works with stv an RA Since Beetle Saturn seems quiet fast and accurate on my older i7700 and with STV support i would be a great addition!

Afaik that issue is only present in the 2.6.1 release. As for syncing the 2.7.0 update to the libretro port, i started looking into it this morning, and fixed some problems, but there are still a few eluding me. I’ll only be able to sync the port after fixing all of them.
