Re: Bandai WonderSwan Core Released
was playing a little bit of dicing knight, and silversword last night, fun stuff.
its a shame the majority of these games are japan only, but there are luckily some english translation patches around
Re: Bandai WonderSwan Core Released
Any chance to limit integer scaling to something like 4x/5x in future releases?
Full screen image on 1080p (7.5x I guess?) is kinda blurry.

Re: Bandai WonderSwan Core Released
Most of the games I test on this core do not boot. I could only get a single game to boot, Digimon Tamers - Battle Spirit Ver. 1.5 (Japan).wsc.
All other games just sit on a white screen after I load them. I tried deleting the bios files and rerunning update all. I have tried games from different rom packs. Nothing loads.
Any thoughts on what I need to do to get more games working?

Turns out I had two cores for the wonderswan installed which was confusing me a lot. One just called Wonderswan and one called Wonderswan Color.
The wonderswan color core was probably an old build and not loading things well. I loaded the core labeled "Wonderswan" to do some testing and realized it also loaded Color games, all the games are loading just fine on the main core.
I must have tried a beta core or something and update all gave me the working core which left me confused between the two cores.

Re: Bandai WonderSwan Core Released
It must have been WonderSwan Color.mgl.
This is a relatively new feature for cores emulating several devices, in this case WonderSwan B/W and WonderSwan Color.
It also created a games/WonderSwanColor directory where you can put the color games, the games/WonderSwan containing the B/W games.
I did not use this feature yet but you have to edit the mgl file to indicate which color files you have (I am not sure of the format to use).
There are other cores like this but I don't know which ones.
Re: Bandai WonderSwan Core Released
The WonderSwan stopped working for me too (it was fine a few weeks ago).
It boots to a grey screen (no bios detected, seemingly) and that's the extent of its current functionality.
I was aware of the newly separate folders for regular WS and WSC games, and had split the ROMs accordingly a while ago, not expecting there to be a problem (there hasn't been an issue with the similarly newly split GB/GBC libraries and their dedicated folders).

Re: Bandai WonderSwan Core Released
I must say that i never tried the mgl files...
In any case: both BIOS files should be in both folders. Or you just use the normal wonderswan for both color and noncolor games....
Re: Bandai WonderSwan Core Released
Anyone having issue with Judgement Silversword?
Even if I define the buttons, I cannot start a game.
I can use "start" to go to main menu. Then "A" and "B" don't work.
Tried other games it worked no probem.
Tried different rom version of Judgement Silversword and same result...
It was working great a few months ago so I wonder if something happen during an update..

Re: Bandai WonderSwan Core Released
If the game is rotated, the buttons rotate, too, so you may have to use different buttons.
Re: Bandai WonderSwan Core Released
Can anyone help with the correct vscale_border setting on this core? With 1:1 integer scaling it looks huge on my 4k screen.i’m using a resolution on 1080p in my Mister.ini. I’m guessing the correct number for me is around 300 or so.
I’ve tried to use a couple of settings (with what I thought was the correct maths) but when I apply an LCD post processing effect the squares are far from even - looks terrible no matter what I try.
I’ve been able to correctly set the GameBoy consoles correctly but can’t seem to do it for the WonderSwan consoles.
Thanks,
