Weird Final Soldier issue

[Michael Helgeson]

Ok,got a nice near mint Final Soldier.
Placed in a CoreGrafx With Super Cd Rom 2 system the game randomly crashes with grafx issues before or right after the title screen. The audio acts up too. If I run the game on just the CoreGrafx itself it runs fine. Anyone else have this issue?

[Michael Helgeson]

Legendary Axe Jp hucard has similar problem,wont work unless Core Grafx is not hooked up to Super Cd-Rom 2 deck. This one just goes right away to a black screen. I have over 40 hu-cards,and these 2 are the only ones giving issues when the Core Grafx is hooked up to the cd system.

System I am using is a Blue lettering region modded Core Grafx. Back when I had a orange lettering one with a Super Cd Rom 2 system I had no issues with Legendary Axe. That system was not modded. Anyone know if this issue is just related to the blue lettering Core Grafxs or if it is maybe region mod related,even though I cant see how it would be...,Any guesses here?

Solution:  Throw away Super CD-ROM2 deck.  Get new one.

[Michael Helgeson]

I don't think there is anything wrong with the Super Cd Rom system itself,which is why I am wondering if someone else has had a similar problem. I am doubtful you have Joe,your just using a Tg-16 deck with a cd-drive. And I mean ,this issue is only happening with these 2 titles,none of my others.

[Joe Redifer]

Well obviously the problem has something to do with the CD deck if it goes away when it is removed.  I'd be amazed if it was a flaw of the CoreGrafx when coupled with the Interface Unit.

You know what i'm having the same problem right now.

Afther d-lite gave the games a test run they work fine on the other pce consoles.

Still i plug my blue logo,Coregrafx in into my scdr2 and those games will crash on it. I haven't tried..without the scdr2 since i don't have the ac adapter for the coregrafx.

Btw my coregrafx has been region modded as well.

It will play the rest fine for my u.s&jpn hucards expect for six titles.

[Michael Helgeson]

Why not happen then with my 40 plus other titles?? It seems more like  a compatibility issue,but I would need someone with the same set up to repeat the issue to confirm that. So far I have had no other issues,so this does not make any sense to me other then if it was a compatibility issue related to having the cd-drive hooked up while trying to run those 2 titles,but do not know if the region mod plays a factor in this also making it happen.

As I know data is transmitted from the hucard area out the expansion area to the cd-drive system regardless, as it is all connected via expansion bus,and that this happens regardless of you actually using a cd title. Also Joe,this is the Super Cd-Rom 2 system,not the briefcase unit,I wanted to specify that real quick.

[Michael Helgeson]

Hey Tron,what are the 6 titles you are having probs with,and can you specifically confirm that you are having probs with Final Soldier and Legendary Axe 1?
Thanks!

I'm thinking it may have something to do with pin #29 on the Hu6280.

I'm thinking it may have something to do with pin #29 on the Hu6280.

Can't be that.  It's not an issue with any of the DuoR systems I've modded.

Could both of you guys try plugging the AV cable into the Core AV port instead of the SCD2 port?  That might solve it.  The Core units themselves work perfectly fine with the games TRON had without the SCD2 connected.  Just might be something to do with the way the SCD2 handles the #29 pin?  It's not a problem with the SuperGrafx/SCD2 setup modded I know.  I've had some of those in the field for years and haven't heard a single issue.

Yea I did try swapping video ports,no luck there. Its not a major issue,I just wondered if others had it happen to them also,and maybe what the cause was.

Shibubuininman (JPN)

Ok let me know what your findings are then.

This is realy a odd problem.

[TR0N]

Bump! some what of a update.

I just got a ac adpater i can use for my coregrafx a while ago.

So far afther running the,Coregrafx by itself with those games it will run prefectly now.

Realy it's weird the scdr2 has compatibility issue afther the region mod for the core.
