I'm pretty sure someone will find a bug or two ;-) Since I enabled all those cheats while testing, I just saw the dying animation agail and find the offset until the music plays quite annoying..

What are you playing it on?
Can you record the problem somehow?
Thanks!

Ok, although I think you're using the 2ca416f commit of GenesisPlusGX, there are still some unexpected behaviours compared to real hardware due to how the emulator works and how it deals with unofficial code like in krikzz' msu-md driver:
From https://github.com/ekeeke/Genesis-Plus-GX/issues/297#issuecomment-671100685
Because of that I can't make it work in GenesisPlusGX, not even with their latest code until they make the emulator handle this stuff like a real machine would.
Please just use Kega Fusion for the time being.

Yes, after looking a bit into it, the libretro repository is missing the following commit that improved CDD interrupt emulation accuracy: e66b7bc
It does not work without these changes because Krikzz's Mega CD Mode 1 driver (which is embedded in those 'MSU-MD' patches) does not use the BIOS commands but directly accesses CD registers to initialize CD hardware, play tracks, etc and does it a bit differently from official BIOS software. Unfortunately, the emulator has a few optimizations (i.e deliberate inacccuracies or simplified hardware behavior) based on the assumption that CD registers are always accessed like official BIOS are doing, which can break unofficial code (like MSU-MD driver) doing unexpected stuff.
NB: this is also the reason why, even with latest changes, the first track starts playing automatically in Genesis Plus GX when those patched games are starting. I will commit a fix for this when I got some time.

It's just first time when game is started it's silent (in GenPlusGX).
[edit]
Latest Genesis Plus GX core fixed it.
All in all, I say it runs purty damn good, excuse my french.
Great work ArcadeTV.

Just to clarify about the MegaSD change request. The change is to facilitate the MegaSD as it stands now. The current firmware can't detect Mode 1/MSU-MD games without editing the header at 0x100 from SEGA MEGA DRIVE (or SEGA GENESIS) to SEGA MEGASD.
There is an alternative method where a CFG file can be placed in the same folder as the ROM (also named the same) with "Mapper=22" inside it.
The header edit or the CFG file will not be necessary when the next firmware is released. It will detect Mode 1/MSU-MD automatically then. So, the MegaSD patch compatibility request is for now, not for later. Apologies if I was confusing anything.
Thanks for updating the patch.

Thanks for clearing that up! I haven't gotten any feedbacks regarding the megaSD, I wish someone would tell me if it works...
Tue 8 Sep 2020 - 7:25 by Leonardo_BVB@hotmail.com
Yep! It works on MegaSD with the USA rom. Thanks ever so much! 
Tue 8 Sep 2020 - 7:42 by ArcadeTV
Good to hear, I'm glad. If it's not too much to ask, could you record a video while booting/playing because I really wanna see how it performs. Smartphone/Youtube would be just fine. Thanks!
Tue 8 Sep 2020 - 11:03 by Leonardo_BVB@hotmail.com
There you go! I had a call so I had to stop recording. https://youtu.be/bnt7BEfReLo
Tue 8 Sep 2020 - 11:12 by ArcadeTV
Lol :-)
Thank you! Could you set the video to public?
It's set to private and won't play.

Done! Sorry about that

I've heared they worked on it and that the Seegaaa jingle now plays on boot. Anything else, I dunno.Brutapode89 wrote:And is it working well on the Genesis Plus GX core now?

I am afraid not, but I do not see that as a big issue. :-)

Sega logo has sound.

Nevermind audio/video quality, it got processed (or shredded) by Streamable.

Thanks Retroplay! Apparently the sound is missing on megaSD
Tue 8 Sep 2020 - 15:06 by Leonardo_BVB@hotmail.com
I will make another fresh patch just in case to see if the SEGA sounds shows. Sometimes patchers are funny
Tue 8 Sep 2020 - 15:11 by Leonardo_BVB@hotmail.com
Just did a fresh patch and the SEGA sound is there so it works on Mega SD as intended!
Great job man! I will try to shoot a video tomorrow when I have some time.
