  1. No change to my PAL Double Dragon as well, I wrote this before, the dumper still needs some updates but the emulation is really superb now😊
  2. I found this too but the zoom function of my TVs let me show normally the full game on my Sony. On my Samsung games like Commando 7800 miss the last few lines. Its natural and fine for me. Most TVs can handle this and on my monitor I just switch it off for some games👍
  3. Many thanks for this huge update🤗 Integer scaling improves vertical scrolling, especially in PAL games like Commando, Xevious (wow!) and River Raid👍 Phosphor helps very much to improve flicker games like Frogger, Wizzard of Wor and Buck Rogers (look at the ship!) they are all part of the list for option auto but you can shut it off or make it stronger/weaker by the menu😊 If still PAL sprites might disapear (not on my finicky monitor) 50Hz disabled is the option of choice and can be combined with phosphor. Two buttons on Space Rocks work very well, select a pad in menu of the game! The Stella 7.0 colors are beautiful and and look correct👍 Only the dumper needs some work. Double Dragon 7800 PAL still fails (worked on very old dumpers) and Medieval Mayham (dumped fine above x03 but fails again, my cart should be 60 fps and sometimes it even starts with 50 fps). My Medieval cart dumps with glitches on every 2nd new dumper😅) Will test the dumper in more detail in a few days.
  4. Yeah, this is not nice in several ways. I've got an hdmi switch with a remote control and it does not feed power back. Also another simple one which is fine too and I will use it it the office instead of this one. But it looks like quite a few of these hdmi switches do this, as others reported this issue too. And 2nd I did not expect the 2600+ accepts power from its hdmi output port... The max hdmi 300 mA are enough to power up the console but not to run a game. It was a coincidence I discovered this. I used the switch between two laptops only for long time and they of course do not boot from power at their hdmi output. As the 7800+ took the place at the TV (where I do not have such a setup), the 2600+ had to move in the office and took the place of one laptop.
  5. Either wait, or post a printout from the debug load, so @raz0red could have a look. Maybe the new release of PAL Asteriods Deluxe 7800 has got another md5 hash than the AA version. I once (a year ago?) had the issue that it did not start as PAL and provided the md5 hash🤔 Exactly in the moment when it should start, try to press A+B+down on your pad to force PAL, as a test. Refering to Ben, maybe it is known and will work on next load anyway🤔
  6. Asteroids Deluxe NTSC (new release) and PAL (AA release) work on the 7800+ and my 2600+ (it works for quite some releases now🤔).
  7. Yeah and the best controller for this game 🤗 Decathlon is another one👍
  8. I got two of the Sears. Paddle was fine for Crazy Brix but the buttons were not very responsive and the stick... well😅 I did a quick and dirty mod to one of them to use it on my Vectrex for the racing game Hyper Chase, one of the few games with analogue controls. Left/Right is on the paddle (steering wheel) and the 4 buttons on up/down (schift gears), and on the two buttons (pedals). The buttons look ugly now, but are responsive 😅
  9. Opended the picture to get a better zoom and it is Scrapyard Dog. Should give this one a try again 😊
  10. Hmm, Feuerzeugbenzin🤔 Zak will find the Feuerzeug on Mars I guess😅
  11. My Double Dragon 7800 PAL fails on any dumper higher than 1.1.0.2 on my 2600+ and on the 7800+
  12. On 2600+/7800+ the one button control with up does not work yet. You can use the right difficulty switch to swap buttons (actually you should 😊) but jump with up does not work, it is always two buttons still, isn't it?
  13. @MrChickenz could have different stick colors by those rubbers from the joycons... P1... P2 😅 Need to play a bit to tell if this is a good idea really...
  14. The joycon size fits😅
