What's new
I found a bug in guilty gear isuka, the game black screens after losing. I have attempted to fix this without much success, I strongly suspect this happens on the original converts too, can someone check (you need to be on B/G bios to run the original convert).

I changed the AW loader part entirely to have something that matches as close as the original whole still booting on the C/H bioses but the bug still occurs.
 
Hy

i am having Problems when i set fist of the North star to USA region.

it blacks out after the intro and boots into error 33 afterwards. set to japanese it works fine.

any ideas?
I managed to replicate this and get error 22 after the title screen on the North America region.
I would say that if you want the game in English just keep it on the Japan region and set the language to English instead, there is no need to change the region, that said, after investigating further it seems to be a rom issue where assets are missing for the North American region. The Europe region works however.
yes can confirm that The error still appears even after using the bios @Murray recommended :(

Does this happen on the original convert with an older bios? (rev B or G), I strongly suspect it does, I messed with the loader part on it and still got the error, it seems likely to be a rom issue (the rom was probably not mean to run in "North America' region, it was probably just sold as Europe (Export) in North America, does anyone know if the "North America" region can be selected for Fist of the North Star on a real Atomiswave console?
 
I can not test the other versions. Or bios. I am sorry. Thanks for looking into that.
 
Well, I've run into a bit of odd behavior. After upgrading to the latest multiBIOS from the official BIOS and grabbing this set of conversions, all AW games boot to a black screen. I get sound, but no video. Unless I wait for something like 20 minutes. At some point, video returns, but I'm not sure when since I walked away and came back later.
 
I had the same issue ages ago, go find the thread. It was the multibios in the end.
 
I just added a aw-violent_metal_slug_6_DBG_AW08 rom which enables the debugger (and allows to pause the game), assuming your buttons are mapped properly.
On OpenJVS that's button 4 and 5 player 1 (L3 + Square on a ps3 controller on the generic profile)
 
Thanks for all your work!
I just updated my Naomi2 bios and tested a bunch of the newly working AW games from Murray's list and so far everything was working flawlessly!
 
I just added a patched version of KOF Neo Wave with all characters unlocked, patch provided courtesy of YZB.


In the selection screen, on the avatars of K’, Maxima, WHIP, JOHN, and Yashiro Nanakase team , press and hold the start button to select the corresponding hidden characters

Hold down the start button on Mai's avatar to select angel

Press the start button on SHINGO YABUKI avatar to select k9999

I fixed the bug in Guilty Gear Isuka that caused an error 22 upon losing.
cool, curious what was the cause ?
The rom needed to be patched rather than the loader. Value 0x20A0 needs to be changed to 0xFEAC at locations 0xB51BE and 0xBA57E in the naomi rom (though only patching location 0xBA57E is enough to fix the bug)
 
@mathieulh sure, I see which bytes was changed in binary, but I was wondering what was actual cause of the bug ?
or you don't know that, and just reused patches from AW to DC conversion ?

I am not quite sure what causes it, it seems that the original value triggers an exception (I assume from accessing an illegal/unmapped range); I got the value (0xFEAC) from the final revision of the DC conversion and tested to make sure it works on the NAOMI.
