Nestopia and regions issues.

Post by Eugene.S »

Hi, nesdev.
I want ask for help with minor nestopia issues.

Originally, nestopia-win32 (by Martin Freij) has only 2 regions - there are NTSC and PAL.
and all of them have own child-subsystems, named "favored systems":
NTSC-region contains "NES NTSC" и "Famicom" systems; PAL-region contains "NES PAL" and "Dendy" systems as child.:

Code: Select all

|------------------------------|
| Region: |   NTSC   |   PAL   |
|------------------------------|
| Favored | NES NTSC | NES PAL |
| system: | Famicom  | Dendy   |
|------------------------------|
Problem is:
You can switch between systems ONLY if it belongs to different Regions.
So, you cannot switch between "NES PAL" and "Dendy" systems, because it
belong to PAL-region, and cannot switch between "NES NTSC" and "Famicom", because it
belong to NTSC-region. You need re-open ROM for switch.

Last nestopiaue multiplatform build (provided by Rdanbrook)
has more simplified region-selector:

Code: Select all

|---------|
| system: | 
|---------|
| Auto    |
| NTSC    |
| Famicom |
| PAL     |
| Dendy   |
|---------|
But since core logic still old, both multiplatform / libretro (by Rdanbrook) and win32 (by Martin) ports have these issues
