SofaROM bug report thread

SofaROM seems to misidentify Super Laydock startup address or segment. It doesn't show any part of the intro, just goes directly to the startup menu. I've tried with both MegaRAM, ESE-SCC and Memory Mapper devices in A1WSX and A1GT. Does anyone else have this same problem? I've been told this also happens in real hardware with both MegaRAM and Memory Mapper devices. I tested the ROM and it's the GoodMSX one, works fine both in WebMSX and OpenMSX.

I tried with both default and /A0 settings, with same results. I don't know if this is in any way helpful, but I've heard ExecROM (which uses MegaRAM) works fine with this game (it seems to make use of a patch).

Well the black screen may be indicative of the copy protection kicking in. I tried using Carnivore 2 (Flash) and then it runs fine... Actually Carnivore 2 (RAM) also works (at least on openMSX wit emulated C2).

I'm not saying it doesn't work, just that it seems to work but doesn't show the intro screen (with digitised voice) nor the title animation (with the little ships flying). I don't know if it stops working later. About MegaRAM, it's just that this is how it was tested, but results were the same using the Memory Mapper. This was the same both in real machines and in OpenMSX and WebMSX.

I've heard it worked in the C2, though. Maybe you have a different ROM? I used the GoodMSX one.

As soon as I have time I'll try beating the first boss too, to see what happens. But I'm not holding my breath.
