I'm not totally clear here. Are the sound pitches actually fixed, so that things don't go out of tune in higher registers, or does this just fix a crash?

I think it just fixes crashes, but not the pitches.

Also, the pokemon games require 32 kb of ram.

Could this possibly be fixed?
Because 25 kb is available to user without like, hacking it. But I read somewhere that the chips have 48 kb of ram; is the other available ram used for other purposes that can't be disturbed or something?

I never understood this properly, so I'd appreciate it if someone could explain this to me.

Thanks.

The Pokemon cartridge contains 32KB of RAM. However, that is completely separate from the 32KB of RAM that is already inside the Gameboy itself. That brings the total RAM used by the game up to 64KB, which is already over the 48KB limit. And beyond that, the emulator needs RAM as well, bringing the real total RAM requirement closer to something like 72KB.

Yeah.

I know this isn't a priority, but since the updated beta some games don't work anymore.

I tested FFlegends 1 and 2; neither have anything. Just a blank screen.

FFlegends 3 actually has something, but after starting the text box in the intro just flashes and is blank.

Yes, older models have 128 KB total ram so there is enough for the emulator to work.  If you can find an older model for a good deal, don't pass it up, since TI is rolling out with the
48 KB RAM Calcs from here on end. (for that it seems).  I got my S-0505D for a mere $15! :w00t:

;D, only about a mere month newer, congrats!  We both have 128 KB, except in my "newer" one.

Oh, I see what went wrong there. It has to do with how I'm handling the STAT register now. (That is, very stupidly.)

I'm still researching the Super Mario Land freezing glitch, since I've managed to replicate it in wabbitemu.

I don't know if this will provide insight, but when I play Super Mario Land on hardware, after enabling sound and starting the game, pressing stat to disable the sound does not seem to work.  I do not get the performance gain like in any games I've tried.
