Solved Serious problems when running some PC Engine CD games

[azvarel]

@acris I tried with another microsd the img, copied its iso and its bios and it did not work.

@acris

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.

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

@acris

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

@azvarel Pls could you share the cue with me? I'm having same issue.... THX

[kelv]

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

THX!!!

[kelv]

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