Vampire Savior SSF

[scorp1014]

Hello everyone, I usually don't need much help when it comes to emulation, however this one has me scratching my head. I wanted to play Vampire Savior for Saturn so I loaded it up (Yeah I know mame and all) but I enjoy playing it on saturn as well. When I start the game it gets to the Capcom Logo screen and after that it shoots this error.

MasterSH2 code = 0000
060A5F08: (0000) Unknown code

SlaveSH2 code = 8BFE
06000952: (8BFE) Unknown code

68000 code: 6000FEF0
0000412A: (6000FEF0) BEQ $0000401C
SH2 Unknown code: 0000

Now going through the forums I see Zordon tried to help a fella with the same problem though different error code, Any idea what is causing this to happen. It only happens with this game. I have tried the image from Emuparadise and from theisozone which causes the same code. I am using SSF 0.12 R4 Beta (the latest I believe) Any help would be appreciated thank you

I'm getting the game in few days, maybee i can try to rip it if it can help. I know it sounds stupid but do you use the 4MB card? Have you tried it with an other card?

I ran this ages ago in SSF and it played just fine,

@emu75 Yep, I am using the 4mb card in ssf.

@ Warrior, I'm aware that it is said to be working in older versions however I am not running 0.07 I am running 0.12 R4. Maybe the game is broken in the new emu. I would like to get it running in 0.12 if it can, if I can't no big deal. I'm not new to SSF and I know this game worked under 0.9 as well. Just took a chance to see if any else ran into this issue and if there was a way to fix it.

Il test it in the latest ver and see, pretty sure thats what I used since I always stays up to date.

Well I have some time on my hands today so I figured I would test various versions with this game. This is what I have come up with so far.

SSF_009_Beta_R4 = Working
SSF_010_Alpha_R4 = Working
SSF_010_Beta = Working
SSF_011_Alpha_R5 =Working
SSF_012_Beta-Beta_R2= Working
SSF_012_Beta_R3 = Working
SSF_012_Prototype = Working
SSF_012_Beta_R4 = Not Working

Seems this game in particular breaks after the R3 version. So I can technically move back to R3 seeing the only thing I see different between 012 R4 and 012 R3 is Vampire savior breaks. Still would like to see what you get Warrior with testing this with 012 R4.
