Re: Castlevania Bloodlines

Yes, I gave it a quick go on Saturday and I was able to get past the section of the stage, using a restore from the older firmware I used to replicate the issue in the first place. So although it wasn't a very thorough test, it seems to be fixed for me. Is yours still crashing just after the start o...

Re: Castlevania Bloodlines

I haven't found a way to make it play properly. It would seem there are some real issues with the Genesis emulation on the Retron 5.

I'm beginning to lose hope that a new firmware will ever be released either...

Sorry resuscitate this old post... but it's all been eerily quite from Hyperkin on the Retron 5 front.

Is there any news on any new firmware updates?

Hmm - I'd tried downgrading to 2.0 beta 6 and now it doesn't read the cart at all - just gets stuck on Loading...

Re: Castlevania Bloodlines

Thanks for the tip - I'll give that a try!

I also noticed that Alien Soldier would randomly crash at certain points if you leave the demo looping. Hopefully this fixes that too...

Re: Castlevania Bloodlines

I may have missed you answering this already, but have you installed the latest software update on the unit yet? https://www.retro5.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=138 Yes, I'm running the latest software. For what it's worth I think I have a "model 2" retron 5. Mine has rubber caps on the co...

Re: Castlevania Bloodlines

Thanks for taking the time to test that, R9delta! Really appreciate it. I've tried your approach, using a Wolverine Adamantium Rage cart with a patch to run Castlevania Bloodlines. The result?

Interestingly enough, that stage is used for the demo mode, so if I just leave it running after booting the title it'll...
