Does mega drive v4 need the megawire mod?

Post by sk8er000 » Sun Mar 22, 2015 6:39 pm

Hello,
I'm a proud owner of a megadrive v4 made by the great megalomaniac.
Now I'd like to play at some titles that have audio streaming.
I know that I can't play them through the SD card, but if I boot one of them from the DVD the audio streaming is still not played..
Do I need to solder the wire in the wasp like the megawire mod or I need something else?
Thank you in advance for the support!

I've tried with a backup ripped from the original disc
Edit:
Do only retail discs work?

I've got another question for Megalomaniac:
I've ordered a xenogc, is it dangerous to solder it under the wasp? The megadrive v4 has the wasp exactly in the xenogc's spot. Do I need to make the xenofusion mod or it will work even without?

You do not need Xeno with WASP and Swiss on flash..

Just boot into swiss, remove SD card from WASP slot, and select DVD in Swiss. The drive will be software patched / unlocked to allow reading backups. Also using this method will allow using cheats once the feature is re-enabled.

Is exactly what I've done but still no audio streaming with a backup, is it regular?

Swiss settings maybe?? Check settings if mute audio streaming is causing issue

ok, I will check thank you, I'm sure that audio streaming muting was "off".
By the way in theory it may may work as I understood, is not an hw limitation! thank you!
