Well, I decided to update my Powerpak mappers from 1.32 (plus the loopy mappers) to 1.34 and have encountered a problem with playing NSFs or games with extra sound channels. Some games play the extra audio, while none of my NSFs will. Everything worked fine before updating.
Here's what I've done so far:
* Reformatted (not quick format) Kingston 1GB flash card
-Tried FAT
-Tried FAT32
* Downloaded 1.34 mappers from Retrozone and extracted to the card
* Checked roms and made sure they were good.
* Tried on my modded NES and Famicom (with modded adapter)
Games that work with extra sound since I updated:
- Akumajou Densetsu (J)
- King of Kings (J) (bad graphics, but just testing audio)
- Final Lap (J)
- Erika to Satoru no Yume Bouken (J)
Games that don't work properly sound wise:
- Mappy Kids (J)
- Sangokushi 2 - Haou no Tairiku (J)
NSFs I tested and don't work right since updating:
- Castlevania 3 - Dracula's Curse JP (VRC6)(1989)(Konami)
- Moryo Senki Madara (VRC6)(1990)(Konami)
- Gleylancer1 (N106)
- T_AkumajoDracula_VampireKiller_N106ver
I'm about to try going back to an older version of the mappers, but before I do I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions.
