I thought this already came out. Annoyingly it doesn't have any of the original voice actors. I guess fans will have to AI mod the dialogue into the game.
@Atariboy According to my records I bought the Mega SG in 2021. Not sure which batch it was. May have been Batch 2 or 3, not sure. Could you explain what could have changed in the hardware that allows Codemasters SMS games to play? π€
@themcnoisy I'm not attacking him. Please show me where I'm attacking him?
"it's quickly becoming apparent other people don't have the same issue with the same games."
Worth noting a lot of people responding or reporting on me complaining about this don't like me because 1) Kevtris can do no wrong, 2) They're the Amico mob. Thankfully, I have valid issues and am not making any of this up.
"Do your other games work as intended? Is your experience with Megadrive games good?"
All MD games work as they should. All SMS games apart from the Codemasters games work with the Analogue SMS adapter.
@Atariboy So I checked again and no surprise, no change. Used my carts with the SMS adapter. A green flicker comes on but the carts don't load the games. I used both Domestic and Export for region settings. I tried three or four times for each. Most likely if you jailbreaked it the games will run and it has nothing to do with the adapter. Presently though those three games don't work on Mega SG with carts.
"Both that and the Super Nt's last run at the same time were somewhat different than the earlier production runs (both of mine at 1st run systems versus 2022 models)."
No idea what you mean. I bought mine along with everyone else's. I have the latest firmware installed. Have you considered that "FPGA genius" Kevtris just hasn't made them compatible yet?
Comments like "he doesn't know what he's talking about" and "he doesn't own a Mega SG" are frankly ridiculous to read.
@Atariboy "it probably is fixed if Kevtris says so."
But it hasn't. I know why but considering I keep being told that Kevtris is a genius I thought he'd be able to solve this easily.
"I think you must be out of date."
"Latest version is 4.9 which I have. Unless there's some hidden further update that's not on the official Analogue website I have the most up to date one."
"I am not sure what he is talking about since the games work on the msg."
Erm, not they don't!
"If you try running them on an Everdrive or something they might not work"
Except I'm not?
"Also the games are PAL, so running them on NTSC can result in fail."
Unless autodetect isn't working as advertised this isn't the issue.
"but I do support this."
Where?
"I don't think he's ever actually explained WHAT didn't work."
Erm, yes I did. Did Kevtris even bother to read my post??? π
"So he's going based on the launch firmware? Yeah if you never updated it, there will be bugs."
Latest version is 4.9 which I have. Unless there's some hidden further update that's not on the official Analogue website I have the most up to date one.
"This is straight from the person you are harassing:"
Harassing who? For him not doing his job because he spends his time on a harassment and shaming Discord server? To be clear Kevtris can go to whatever troll harassment Discord server he wants to regardless of my complaining. However, when the product he engineered isn't doing what it's supposed to do fully BECAUSE he spends his time on troll harassment Discord server then he's open to valid criticism.
100% compatibility for Mega SG? Calling BS on this. Codemasters Master System games don't work because Kevtris is busy on the anti-Amico Discord instead of doing his job. π
Yeah, there was no way they would have been able to include those backgrounds on the Amiga release, especially if they were going to scroll. Way too difficult at the time. This is cool though. π
Anyway this is sad to hear. The sadness is that the Zool release was very good apart from the missing coin. Talk about throwing out goodwill. Speaking of the coin I do hope they send it.
@h3s It's an odd choice as the Mega Drive re-release is edited as well.
@tektite_captain Zool was unknown and mediocre? What planet are you living on??? π
@Damo I don't tend to stick to a website based on my opinions but more my interests. All the AI articles will no doubt increase here as more projects use Gen AI but apart from that this website puts out a lot of interesting articles otherwise I wouldn't spam post MobyGames Discord with them. πI can't imagine going to different websites just because I disagree about AI and neither should you, differing opinions should be welcome. π
@Damo Regulations are needed. People won't stop using Gen-AI so don't expect that to happen.
@Scollurio "the whole entertainment industry and software industry is creatively bankrupt and managed to run itself into the ground just fine even without AI.
A common argument is "AI can just remix exiting stuff but not create new things." - I don't see how this differs to 90% of all things in a saturated end-stage society like ours."
@Damo There's nothing wrong with questioning this technology but I'd see the problems more from a business point of view. I just find this tech announcement unnecessary and I don't feel the platform has legs considering the AI tools exist elsewhere to do what they want to do.
From a creative point of view I always go back to needing regulation laws.
Well as an apparent VIP on Antstream this doesn't interest me a whole lot. If the tools to do this exist elsewhere people might not buy into this service. I personally think Antstream should stick to games. They've done a lot of good already. This seems unnecessary.
