I tested the US version on the Genesis Plus GX core and there's always this screen.

Can you fix it, please? Thanks.

Go to settings and set a different country, just not EU/PAL.
Screen triggers on 2 things:
- no cd hardware found
- 50Hz System found

It's doing the same thing and I don't know where "CD Hardware found" and "50Hz System found". Is it in the .asm file?

it's commented, search for ntsc.
but you should consider the consequences, 50Hz means Audio will be out of sync.

wouldnt it be better to find the cause rather than to fight with the symptom?

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

Regrettably
Can only use CD tracks
Cannot use OGG or WAV format
If using OGG or WAV format
Music tracks will not be specified

I found that re-editing CUE content
Can play OGG format correctly
And the track will not be confused

@ArcadeTV, here you can see it working fine on the Mega SD (Sega sound included):

https://youtu.be/b2fqz6Ulp00

Is there a voice saying Castle of Illusion after the Sega logo?
That doesn't seem right and is not suposed to happen...
I have no megaSD so I can't test it. Thanks for the video!

Yes, there is

I can't tell if this is my fault or if the megaSD does funny things. It's not present in MEDpro or Fusion. I'll have a look, but dunno if I can fix it.

Honestly, it is fine if you cannot fix it.

It's working on the Genesis Plus GX core but there's not musics.

use RetroArch Genesis Plus GX core

Yes but what must I do to hear music?

Make sure you have all the correct bios files in Retroarch system folder.
Mine are as follows:

Make sure the patched roms name matches the bin/cue CD image.
Like so:
Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse (MSU-MD).cue
Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse (MSU-MD).bin
Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse (MSU-MD).md

Also make sure name is correct in the cue sheet.
Open it in a text editor (Notepad++) and check if the name matches the bin file.

For example:
FILE "Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse (MSU-MD).bin" BINARY

Load the md rom and select Genesis Plus GX core, that's it.

Ah! Guys! I used the bad Genesis Plus GX core. It's working and I can hear music CD now, but there's not the "SEEGAA" sound.

And what a patch must I use to disable cheats?

I will provide a patch without cheats when all testing is done.

Ah? Have I downloaded a beta version, actually?

Maybe.. but i also forgot to disable cheats in the us version

Hi. Isn't there cheats anymore in the US version of Castle of Illusion, now?

Brutapode89 wrote:Hi. Isn't there cheats anymore in the US version of Castle of Illusion, now?

Only way the original PAR/GG cheats will work again is if you change the header from 'SEGA MEGASD' to 'SEGA GENESIS' on the patched MSU-MD ROM.

I can provide both a cheated and uncheated version. Check the repo in the next 24 hrs.

You think he wants the ones built into your source code? Or use Game Genie codes? I ask only since one built from source is permanent to the ROM.

Good morning to everyone. I'm trying to download the MSU-MD patch, but it gives me error 404. Also, in the Arcade TV's repository, there is no repository called "msu-md_castleOfIllusion" or similar. how can I obtain the patch for the msu-md version?

Thanks in advance.

Give me a few minutes to host the backup I have, elsewhere.

Unfortunately, ArcadeTV has taken his GitHub down due to online harassment and increased personal workload. He will take a short break and return, hopefully, sometime in August.

I only kept the patches that were stable. In due time, I will start fixing the broken links and remove the ones I have no backups for (or just place disclaimer that the patches are not available at the moment).

UPDATE: Alternate host link established. I will start fixing the other GitHub dead links as time allows.
