Earthworm Jim 2 doesn't work anymore in 1.52.

Post by ViewtifulM »

Both the (U) and the (E) versions of the game have stopped working in 1.52. This is what can be seen on the rom loading dialogue of the (U) version:

"EARTHWORM JIM 2" [checksum ok] HiROM, 32Mbits, ROM, NTSC, SRAM: 0Kbits, ID: A2EE, CRC: 393DE197

The game worked flaswlessly in 1.51. Apparently, there is the same problem with "The Mask": http://www.snes9x.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=4559

I must say at first I saw this issue in snes9xgx for Wii, but after that I confirmed it didn't work for Windows either, so I contacted Tantric and he told me this was the place to put it. Thanks in advance.

It's a known timing problem. It affects all games using that sound library.

Is there any possiblity to fix it???
Like a small code add (like soulblazer (E) in 1.51), new lib, etc?
