Thanks,

2.0.13 beta version originally
now back to the 1.0.4 version
virtually any game i am using
in the screen test i am using Astyanax, but i was using Soleil on genesis, super mario 2-six golden coins on gameboy, and hudson hawk on gameboy but they all did the same thing.
landscape orientation
video size 150% (originally said Fit to screen, but the Fit to screen option actually goes full screen and i dont have any problem with it)

usually occures when i use the touch screen to pause screen. i have hard reset my phone several times so i dont have all my key mappings to test using a hard key pause.
i attached a before and after screenshot taken with shake and save.


also a suggestion, i havent had much luck with registry exports with my settings saved. and it seems each different version i run uses a different set of settings. i know you are a busy man, but an import/export feature would completely rock. I normally go through 5-6 different rom's a week, and its a major pain to reload my settings every time i turn around.

thanks for the good work!

The latest released beta is 2.0.17. 1.0.4 is too old to work properly on modern (800x480) phones. Please retest on the latest exe (www.bitbanksoftware.com/sg.zip). I am close to releasing 2.x as an official release version.

688 Attack Sub - Works + lower soundtrack missing.
Altered Beast - Works , sample rate for voices way too high
Boogerman - Garbled/Distorted GFX. Only character is visble. Music missing in game.
Beyond Oasis - Works. Minor snd gitches
Buck Rogers - Doesn't work. Get ROM generated error code at top "000FE006 03 " . May be a bad rom.
Castlevania Bloodlines - Works but a little slow
Crusader of Centy - Works. Static in some of the lower sound frequencies
Devilish - Works , game is a bit slow though
Flashback - Works , minor snd issues
Hard Drivin - Works, sort of. This one is complicated. Game will start but the road texture continues to vanish as you move towards it, forcing your car to constantly be "Off Road". SG crashed after 20 seconds of this.

Landstalker - Works, But gameplay is slow and a little choppy. Bottom portion of screen gfx don't refresh correctly , showing distorted gfx from another part of the screen
Light Crusader - Works, minor snd issues
Phantasy Star 2 & 3 - Works. minor snd issues.
Rings of Power - Works, suprisingly well. other emu's couldn't get this one right. Just minor snd issues
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Works. However , in 2 player split screen mode, the entire screen gfx are all distorted . Only characters are visible in this mode.

Will test more later sometime.

Thank you for letting me know about these problems with the games. I was able to track down the Boogerman issue to a bug in my ARM 68K. It took many hours, but it works now . I also believe Hard Drivin is now fixed. I also sped up some of the games a bit. I'll be releasing 2.0.18 tonight with these changes and the rewind feature . I knew about the issue with Sonic 2. I doubt I will fix it anytime soon because it uses a special interlaced (320 x 448 ) video mode that only this game uses .

Hi!
Anyone using the Energy ROM with the TILT2 and not able to map the keys?
Only the arrows and two others work, everything else has the behave message...

[bitbank]

I'm back - sorry for the long absence. I've been buried in work.
I just picked up a Sprint TP2 for testing. Now I can see if there are any strange keyboard behavior differences between the T-Mobile TP2 and the Sprint TP2. Does anyone know if the Verizon TP2 is the same hardware or did they make some changes?

I will be working on a new build starting this weekend. I'll try to have something out for Monday.

The Verizon keyboard is slightly different - the main keys are the same - pause this video at the very beginning to see what I mean

That's good to know. I hope you get everything figured out for the next build. Your emulator is the best by far and i use it everyday. I can't wait to try it out once you release the next one. Keep up the good work.

By the way, what's the update on the GBA support for your emulator?

Hello i just downloaded the latest beta and have a sprint tp2 with ther maxsense rom and i too am unable to map any of the keys with the 2.018 is there something special i have to do like kfortouch pro like on the touch pro? thx awesome work

nvmd apparently i had to change what controlled the second player and now everything wrks as it should thx!

[DavidinCT]

Just a dumb question, as I was thinking about using the screen controls. Does the Touch Pro 2 have a multi touch display ?

I tried it on my old 6800 and it sucked becuse you could not move and jump on games at the same time, so it was pointless...
