Re: DVD Drive Emulator Question

So I guess the notification system that website uses is just broken beyond use? Missed not one but two rounds because it didn't send the notification to any of the multiple emails I set up for alerts to make sure I wouldn't miss it. The magento notification system is ran by a cron job and runs at 8...

Not to be judgemental, but is there any purpose to do so? The wii can already do everything with a simple softmod and GX Loader
To be fair I have WODE and it is not the same since those loaders present a good amount of frame skips

Nintendont + WODE = Audio Streaming! Could it be ported?

The title says everything :-D. When a game is run through WODE + Nintendont the audio streaming works flawlessly. So, could anyone port that feature to the GC?

I think it could work with WASP too.

Because WODE is not compatible with audio streaming games.

Re: MegaDrive v5 + WODE

Just the lack of information.

Sometime I've heard something like - the obvious just is obvious after someone says that.

If you already thought about that, great! I just want to contribute.

Re: MegaDrive v5 + WODE

Hi Mega, I was wondering if something like the board below would be possible. http://xecuter.com/cr4/CR4_PHAT_KIT_RGH2.png You could design a board with that kind of solder points to replace the DVD board connector. That would be a great complement to the MegaDrive v5. All you need are a 5v solder p...

Re: MegaDrive v5 + WODE

The problem was the firmware :|

I was using 2.9, but the games working with the 2.8.

There is a lot of stuttering, but I believe that is because my laser pot.

I've made some tests with a multimeter and there is no resistance between the solder point and the flat cable end.

Re: MegaDrive v5 + WODE

I've remade all the connections between the MDv5 and the motherboard. And I've also remade the connections between the drive board and the flat connector. But I still can't run games like Eternal Darkness. There is a length limitation? The wires have about 2" and the flat cable is the one that ...

Re: MegaDrive v5 + WODE

I believe the wode settings are ok, because regular games (without audio streaming) work great both via dvd drive (flat mode) or via hdd.

Re: MegaDrive v5 + WODE

After some more tests I've got the following results:
- Games without audio streaming (like Gun) work great from DVD.
- Eternal Darkness doesn't work from HDD too.

So, I'll check again the connections between the mother board and the v5.

Re: MegaDrive v5 + WODE

Everything appears to be ok.

Two questions:
1) Do I have to use wires of the same size for the audio stream connections?
2) Is a problem to use a long cable between the dvd drive and the wode? (I'm using a cable with the same size of the wode slave board cable)

Re: MegaDrive v5 + WODE

I believe that could be a power issue. The controller ports are using the 5v supply as the DVD drive and the WODE slave baord.

I'm really lost here :-/

Re: MegaDrive v5 + WODE

When I play it without the controller, the second led from the WODE slave board stops after the poem, then starts again and the game works. But, with the controller, the second led stills blinking and the game freezes after the poem.
