Hey man, good to to see you too.

In a couple of weeks I hope to be able to try out the Linux versions of Kronos 

I had Linux Mint installed temporarily on a old 'throw away' PC and I quite liked it!( My first time using Linux )

I don't plan on abandoning Windows permanently, haha. I just wanna setup a separate dedicated Linux PC to play around with.

Haha! Nevermind!

I literally just found Kronos 1.6.0 and 1.7.0(both 32 and 64 version) and the dlls you sent so long ago Benjamin on my hard drive too!

So, if anyone ever has a need for the windows versions of Kronos versions 1.1.0, 1.2.0, 1.3.0, 1.6.0, or 1.7.0(32 or 64bit), I have them and can upload them somewhere where others can download -- I couldn't find any old versions online. Thank God I backup everything, lol.

I am missing 1.4.0 and 1.5.0 windows versions so if someone has them, I'd like to have them for posterity.

Hi. Been a while! Hope everyone is staying healthy!

So I recently decided to get back into Saturn emulation and I see that windows support has been dropped from Kronos. This is sad. My heart is broken. 💔

And the only downloads I can find are the lastest ones, which of course are only on Linux.

So, I'm wondering if there is a repository somewhere with the old windows version binaries? The specific version I'm looking for is version 1.6.0 (as I recall 1.7.0 had sound issues)

I already had windows versions 1.1.0, 1.2.0, and 1.3.0 backed up but version 1.6.0 is the one I'm looking for. If someone has it, or knows where I find, I'd appreciate it.

Not interested, sorry.

Citation de: Benjamin Siskoo le juillet 19, 2019, 06:26:08 amcould you add some bug report here : https://github.com/FCare/Kronos (your edit about the sond for example)

Hmm... Maybe. I download stuff from GitHub quite often but I don't have an account there so I've never done that before. GitHub's a place for smart people; I might make myself look stupid, lol.

Btw, I noticed your avatar on GitHub is Caprica 6. I'm an Athena fan myself.

Edit: Ok, I made a GitHub account and posted an issue on the page you linked. I hope that was the right way to do it, hehe.

Kool, no rush.

I forgot to mention my OS before; it's Windows 10 64 bit.

I play ISOs of Deep Fear and Resident Evil created from legal discs. They're the only Saturn games I care about, lol.
(Edit 2: Actually, I just double checked, their not ISOs. Each one has a .ccd, .img, and .sub file. I launch the .ccd files through File->Eject/Load ISO.)

In fact, it's mainly Deep Fear I care about as the PC version of Resident Evil is the better version, imo(no 'floating' polygons, higher resolution, modding tools, etc.) I just purchased RE cause I wanted a particular texture for model I never finished.(No idea how to rip stuff from Saturn games, btw. My plan was to bump up the settings and take a screenshot then run it through some filters in GIMP, but I lost interest and moved on, heh.)

Anyway, back on topic, I deleted the kronos.ini and bkram.bin from appdata\local\kronos but it didn't help. I couldn't find a yabause folder though.

Actually, I couldn't find a Kronos folder at first either. Then, I remembered that you could set a custom path for the bkram.bin in kronos so I started it up, went to settings->cart/memory and clicked the '...' button with the intent of making a new one in a temp folder, and was taken straight to the appdata\local\kronos folder. I then closed the window and exited Kronos, went back to appdata\local and there the Kronos folder was, heh. I'm 100% positive it wasn't there before because it's right above the Lazarus folder(free Pascal compiler) and I stopped and checked that out for second so I'm sure I would've seen it.

I tried doing the same thing with Kronos 1.6.0 as by default it points to the appdata\local\yabause for it's bkram.bin but when I tried I, it just opened the folder where the kronos.exe is for 1.6.0, so no dice.

Probably a good thing though, as I don't really wanna mess with 1.6.0 to much as it runs Deep Fear great.

Edit: One last thing. I did some experimenting trying to fix the sound issues by changing various settings (toggling multi-threading on/off, changing bios region, etc.,etc.) and I noticed the sound issues where worse with v-sync off. V-sync seemed to be the only setting that affected it at all.

Citation de: Benjamin Siskoo le juillet 15, 2019, 06:52:05 pmThanks for your complete report (and spec are important

You're welcome. And thanks for the dlls.

Kronos 1.7.0 64bit starts now but there are sound issues in both Deep Fear and Resident Evil and the some of the video options are (seemingly) broken. I checked the 32 bit version and it's the same(I didn't actually have a chance to play anything yesterday).

Kronos 1.6.0 doesn't have any problems, for me at least, so it's ok.

Edit: Also, I noticed that silly Kronos = Love topic I made awhile ago wasn't actually in the Kronos section, lol, sorry about that!

Hello. Got problem, I hope you guys can help me with.

While the 32 bit version of Kronos 1.7.0 works great for me, whenever I try to run the 64 bit version of Kronos 1.7.0 I keep getting two errors; missing VCRUNTIME140D.DLL followed by missing ucrtbased.dll.

I did some research about these two .dll files and found this brief discussion on Microsoft's site: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/06b66cae-d010-441d-bc72-64a8c7cd65bc/missing-vcruntime140ddll-and-ucrtbaseddll

According to that, they're debug versions of .dlls in vs2015 and you can remove the need for end users of your program to have them installed on their PCs if you compile your .exe in release mode and not debug mode, or by linking them to the .exe.... Which doesn't do me much good, haha.

The thing is, I already have both ms visual 2015 redist packages, x64 and x86, so feel like I'm out of options, so I came here to ask for advice.

This is a different PC from the one I mentioned awhile ago. The specs probably don't matter, but just in case it may be relevant somehow:

HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop 690
AMD Ryzen 5 2400G 3600 MHz 4 Cores
8 gigs of RAM
GeForce GTX 1050 2 gb driver ver. 391.25

I've tried every Saturn emulator I could find over the past 2 years and, in my humble opinion, Kronos is the best. So I just wanted to say thank you to the people supporting and developing Kronos.

Edit: Also, Kronos v1.6 is great; best version yet. I have a new PC now so I can finally use those fancy filters without my screen going crazy!

Will do and thanks again.

Ok

Backup your bkram.bin from Yabause and remove it. Try again with Kronos.

Lol I feel like a moron... While I was following your suggestion above, I noticed the Cartridge option was blank and realised I never set it.... Oops...

I set up a 32 Mbit backup ram so I can save now under Cartridge. Still can't save on system memory, but I guess it doesn't matter.

I apologize for my ignorance, thank you.

Hello,

Could you give us your specs ?

CiterI'm using save states now but I know they can cause glitches in some games in certain situations.

Do you have some examples ?

My PC is a Dell Optiplex 780
Windows 10 64 bit
4gb Ram
160gb Hard-drive, although only 38 gb is free...
CPU is an intel dual core @ 3.33
GPU is an msi 6450 hd 1 gb ddr3

I play a lot of PC games/emulators so I have over a dozen microsoft redistributable/direct x packages so I don't think it's something I'm missing....

In fact I think Kronos is in conflict with yabause. I noticed earlier that the memory path in kronos is pointing to the same bkram.bin that yabuase is....

Oh, about the save state comment I made - I wasn't talking about a specific issue in kronos or even saturn emulation in general. I just know that sometimes they can cause glitches in various games/emulators.

An example is Suikoden on PSX. By Saving/Loading save states you can glitch certain mini-games leading to infinite money. Another example is a certain older version of Project 64(I forget which version...), where loading a save state resets your controller configuration to how it was set the last time you made a save state, very annoying....

As for save states in Kronos, I haven't noticed any problems.

Like the topic says, I would greatly appreciate it if the memory unit is already set up and ready to go in the next release of kronos.

I'm running kronos 1.2.0 now, and when I started it for the first time I got a message telling me I needed to set up the memory unit. I followed the instructions but when I tried to exit the memory screen kronos locked-up. I gave it a few minutes before shutting it down(nothing happened). Now when I play Deep Fear, I can't save, it tells me the save attempt failed. I'm using save states now but I know they can cause glitches in some games in certain situations. So, having the memory unit already set up would be great!

Thank you for making Kronos and good luck on the next release. Looking forward to it!
