      Hello @azvarel

      emulator : default ?
      Core : default ?

      you said

      Ginga_Fukei_Densetsu_-Sapphire(NTSC-J)_[HCD5080].iso renamed Saphire.iso

      FILE "Sapphire.iso" BINARY
      

      Not same name, missing p : Sapphire.iso

      Do you have delete your gamelist.xml ?
      Do you use mode gamelist_only ? If yes, disabled.

      Do you have fresh install on new microsd ?
      directly with recalbox 4.1 unstable image ?

        @acris typing error, while doing the topic


        see the "loading" for 1/2 a second and then goes back to ES

        emulator: defaul
        core: default

        I'm suspecting a problem with the core or the pcenginecd emulator folder.
        Because it does not make sense, I used your bios, your iso and it still did not work.
        Other games that use supercard like Akumajou Dracula - Chi no Rondo, it works, Sylphia also works, but this blessed Sapphire does not work

          Continue...

          Do you have delete your gamelist.xml ?

          yes

          Do you use mode gamelist_only ? If yes, disabled.

          disable

          Do you have fresh install on new microsd ?

          Last install was from 4.0 beta 5, upgraded to 4.0.1 and then to unstable 4.1

          directly with recalbox 4.1 unstable image ?

          I have not tried with direct image

            Try with another microsd and download img recalbox
            https://archive.recalbox.com/updates/v1.0/unstable/
            And transfert only this game and bios.

                I discard BIOS problem because I used several BIOS, such as version 3.0
                A hack version of 3.0 that already opens the game directly, without the need to appear the bios screen, and version 4.1 derp also made by a hack that includes support for extended memory and supports Medanfen, all games work except Ginga Fukei Densetsu - Sapphire (NTSC-J), that I can see the "loading" for 1/2 second and then back to ES.

                A great friend who lives in Japan was able to generate a pro clonecd image and sent me Super Daisenryaku (NTSC-J) and when testing here on the recalbox it worked, then we verified that it is a .iso file problem

                In search of other alternatives with Sapphire.

                      BAD NEWS

                      To my sadness, it's all ACD (Arcade CD) games that are not working,

                      LIST OF GAMES
                      Battlefield '94 in Tokyo Dome [FCCD4001]
                      Fire Pro Jyoshi - Dome Chojyo Taisen [HMCD 4008]
                      Garou Densetsu II - Aratanaru Tatakai [HCD4060]
                      Garou Densetsu Special [HCD4067]
                      Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire [HCD5080]
                      Janshin Densetsu - Quest of Jongmaster [HECD5016]
                      Mad Stalker - Full Metal Force [HECD4009]
                      Madou Monogatari I - Honou no Sotsuenji [NAPR-1047]
                      Ryuuko no Ken [HCD4061]
                      Strider Hiryuu [NAPR-1041]
                      Tengai Makyo - Kabuki Itouryodan [HCD5070]
                      World Heroes II [HCD4063]

                      I'm not sleeping, downloading iso in every possible way, my last attempt was to convert to OGG, WAVE files and edit the .cue and without success.

                      I do not even know what else to do.

                      The strangest thing is that in the log it appears normal, we loaded the ARCADE CARD

                      RetroArch [libretro INFO] :: MDFN_MakeFName: /recalbox/share/bios/syscard3.pce
                      RetroArch [libretro INFO] :: Arcade Card Emulation:  Enabled

                          It will not be necessary.

                          after a user in the forum of the libretro said that my isos were corrupted, which was not true, I decided to redo the cue files, that for some reason the cue files were with some synchronization problem, then I followed the cue available in www.necstasy.net and with the isobuster, I managed to let it work.

                          Thank you again for your help and for your willingness.

                          Cheers,
                          Azvarel

                              Any, insight on this? I have new cue file and new iso and it's still failing... is it needed any special bios?

                              THX!!!

                                @azvarel THX SO MUCH. The issue was because of the rewind setting.... AFter disabling it, it worked. I can't believe it.
