I guess that settles it. Thanks for answering.

A few days ago I was writing a comment on a different board comparing different arcade emulators, and then it hit me that RAINE doesn't support Sega System 16/18 games such as Golden Axe, Out Run or Afterburner. I'm wondering why, that's all. They were never considered, is emulation too complex or are other reasons I haven't guessed?

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.
