Glad you figured it out, unfortunately I didn't have the time to test it myself. PCem seems to have been abandoned, which is a pity, but there are forks of it that are still active, such as 86Box. I actually wrote a guide on PCem back in the day. You can read it here.

This is very interesting. I remember one of my first messages in this board was regarding the DOS version of RAINE, which I liked to play now and then under DOSBox. Now I prefer to use PCem for those matters, and I set up a Celeron machine with Windows 98. If I have the time I'll see how this new build behaves under that environment during the next days.

Nope. Just checked. Anyway, if you're not getting more users with the same problem by now it's likely my version of the game.

Then I must have patched the wrong version of the game or something. Nevermind.

I should have noticed this before... but I probably tested the game with the sound off before. In my version there's an issue with the voices in the opening, they keep playing if I interrupt the intro, playing well into the animated prologue after you choose a character. Or maybe it's just my version of the game. However, this doesn't happen under FB Neo.

I didn't notice any problems with the audio tracks on RAINE, I guess I didn't progress enough into the game. But if there are any problems with the game I'm glad they have been fixed this fast. It's not like we're drowning in Neo Geo CD emulators.

Alright. At the FB Neo message board they've told me to convert the patched CD image to MODE1/2352. That seems to solve the issue under both emulators, FB Neo and RAINE.

Earlier today I learned that an English translation for Samurai Shodown RPG (for the Neo Geo CD system) has finally surfaced. You can get the patch here. Unfortunately, I'm having a hard time patching the game and playing it. I've finally got a patched version that I think should work, but FB Neo won't recognise it (I've told them, just in case) and under RAINE it crashes the emulator after showing the introductory screens.

Ah, good. Thanks for fixing all those bugs this quickly.

Glad to be of service.

The new version (Windows 32 bit build) seems to crash when loading "Acrobat Mission". Don't know if it's a new bug or if it already happened before. Can anyone confirm this?

I can't get any sound under Windows 10... tried using wasapi and directsound drivers, the rest don't seem to work for me. Tried overwriting my existing RAINE folder as well as with a fresh install. Is anybody else experiencing the same issue? EDIT: OK, I think I found the issue... in my system by default RAINE outputs audio to DigitalOutput (NVIDIA High Definition Audio) and won't play any sound. If I change it to Speakers (2-Realtek (R) Audio) it plays sound. There's a third option, Realtek Digital Output (2-Realtek (R) Audio) that won't play any audio either. This is funny. Never had to change the sound device in RAINE before.

OK, understood. Thanks for the info. EDIT: Did as advised, the game works now OK 👍 EDIT 2: I think it's not the first time that I report a bug in this board and I'm advised to disable speed hacks. I was wondering... considering how fast are CPUs these days, would it be too bad for RAINE's performance if ALL speed hacks were disabled by default? Just wondering.

How do you do that?

I'm seeing some glitches in "Neo Turf Masters", Windows x86 build, using the Scanline-3x.shader. Don't know if this is normal. They appear in the hole overview screen only.

Thank you.

Thanks for figuring this out, mer-curious.

As I said, no overclocking: https://www.pccomponentes.com/procesador-amd-ryzen-7-2700x-37-ghz But I may have been abusing my CPU lately, re-compressing video while I go through my usual stuff, including fiddling with Raine.

No, my CPU is not overclocked. The figure could be wrong, though, it's the one Windows gave me.

Thanks for confirming it, it was driving me nuts. It could be rtelated to the OpenGL drivers, because I haven't reproduced the bug with the other drivers. Which doesn't mean I'm certain about it. At all. I'm running Windows 10 and my hardware config is basically the following: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core CPU running at 3.70 Mhz, 16 Gb. RAM and a Asus DUAL-GTX1060-O3G graphic card.

Can't reproduce it now... I could this morning. Must be a very specific set of things that cause this freeze. I'll keep testing.

I finally found out what it was. If I delete the files inside the "config" folder, restart Raine, add game folders and activate fullscreen, then the new 4:3 mode before loading any game, Raine will freeze when trying to load ANY game. But if I load a game before touching any video option, then everything works fine.

I'll be damned... I broke something playtesting SSF2T and after doing a re-install of RAINE not a single game works... everything gets stuck at the "Applying visual layouts" step... Maybe it's just me, but can anyone see if they can reproduce this? Using the x86 build under Windows 10.

Ah, glad to see the bugs I reported have been fixed. I'm a bit on the fence when it comes to the AR of Capcom games. Back in the day I always saw them in 4:3 monitors, but with time I almost got used to see them in the... original? AR. Anyway, you have given enough margin for anyone to use their preferred AR, and that's a nice touch.

Understood. As I said, these are minor concerns. I only reported them because I thought they could be symptoms of bigger issues. Keep up the good work!
