Castle of Illusion MSU-MD hack WIP

Latest release, maybe final except for an updated SoundPack later today:

https://github.com/ArcadeTV/msu-md_castleOfIllusion/releases/tag/v20200906b-beta

I just linked the updated the final SoundPack in the first post.
Right now I'm almost done implementing a lockout-screen preventing players to use the game in 50Hz/PAL because I'll release a separate patch/SoundPack for the remaining versions.

Prepare for V1.0 in 10..9..8..7......

v1.0 released!

Awesome it Works fine. One Question. Why the Japan Version and not the English Version?

evilhamwizard did an awesome job on his disassembly, couldn't have made my patch without it. He used the JAP rom.

I might port the patch to the US and EU versions as well, but it'll take some time.

And is it working on the Genesis Plus GX Core of RetroArch?

I didn't test it.

JUST saw this on Twitter, that is amazing!!!!

It's working on the Genesis Plus GX Core of RetroArch, I tested it on my PS Classic.

I just updated the wiki

Since this is technically finished and released, I'll lock this thread in a while. Any further information or bug reports can go in to the release thread.

Also, I must ask you to create a patch based on a ROM that will work on a MegaSD by hex editing the ROM as per the second image in the post linked below.

This is until the next firmware for the MegaSD is released that will detect Mode 1 etc. by default, and it will have no effect on anyone using it on an Everdrive. The same patch will work for both carts and emulators.

That sounds pretty good, thanks!

Some final words in this thread:
Please use the issue tracker on my Github whenever possible, it's easier for me to just watch that instead of many different locations.

Next up is another Update to the SoundPack that makes it fit on a 80-minutes-CD-R and compatible to real hardware again.

Also I may just completed the US version of the game and will release that soon, just keep an eye on my twitter and github for updates.

Thanks to all players.

Yours truly.
