			@cafe-alpha... I will share a link in MP. All games here are working fine on linux, half off them are not working on windows. Benjamin might be able to provide you some names of game. In order to test, just download game files, do not unzip, add in the directory the file stvbios.zip and choose a STV cartridge in the setup of kronos. You may need also to etup a STV stick in the input part of the settings.

			@cafe-alpha... Linux and Windows shares the same video core, SH2 core, etc... https://github.com/FCare/yabause/blob/extui-align/... Each rom have a specific structure. For non working games (windows port only), it seems the problem comes from game_byte_blob : Here an example with Astra Superstars : HEADER_BLOB, "epr20825.13", 0x0000001, 0x0100000, GAME_BYTE_BLOB, "epr20825.13", 0x0200000, 0x0100000, GAME_BYTE_BLOB, "epr20825.13", 0x0300000, 0x0100000, GAME_WORD_BLOB, "mpr20827.2", 0x0400000, 0x0400000, Games without Game_byte_blob works.

Thank you for the support !
So far I didn't noticed that STV stick was available in settings menu, so I wasn't able to go further than game title screen

Thank you for the tip !
I just sent you a PM. Let's continue emulation related discussion there

OK, thank you for the hint

Astra Superstars doesn't works here too, so I will use it to see what's wrong on WIndows port.

That's always the same error ? If so, maybe it is happening when emulating BIOS ?
Also, some games taken from some download sites may be incomplete or not contain dump files at expected names, causing emulation errors.
So if not already done, it would be good for testers and developers to use the same ROMs for testing ?

As an example, here is the log when Astra Superstar crashes. It happens during the "system checking" screen.

Code:

    Error: Master SH2 invalid opcode

R0 =  25A7A000	R12 =  060FFED0
R1 =  060CF888	R13 =  00000000

R4 =  53454741	SR =   00000000

Note : 53454741 = "SEGA" = uninitialized memory.

			I hope that somebody will compile this for android, yaba sanshiro aka uoyabause requires Android 5.0 to install and there are many heavy android devices with lower Android versions and no custom roms that is probably able to run Kronos very well, even the xperia play with overclocking could possibly run 2d games if Kronos was ported. Keep up the good work.
