Frogger on O2EM

[Chris!]

First off, the Frogger title tune is all messed up on O2EM, it plays in a weird register which lowers and garbles it up. Next, I have run into a problem that makes the game unplayable: All the characters will sometimes disappear on me and once you get to the upper screen, the game freezes. See the pictures I attached. I am using v1.20b5.

strange - I just tried it with the same version of o2em and it works - can you run the game, go to the debug window, type info and see if you get the same values as I do for System info? (see attached screenshot)
Region PAL is important, as well as all the hacks (otherwise it doesn't work properly ...)

What version of the ROM are you playing with? Are you loading up the Brazilian release of Frogger?

Well, the screenshots don't happen all the time, just once in a while. I'm using the file "pb_frogger.bin" in Rene's collection.

the rom should be the correct one - please try what I wrote and use the "info" command to see if your rom is recognized as "Frogger (PAL)" and the system is correctly set to PAL

It´s looks like looks in a real brazilian Odyssey. I would like this version worked here. I think it's better (more challenging) than the version we had here.

I tried it here. The game is running normally.

I tried both Frogger ROMs from Rene's VIDEOPAC page and they both have the same issue. The brazilian one is worse, however both don't sound right in O2EM 1.20.

However in MAME it does sound OK.

Read my thread for more details:

There's a video I posted (the link is in MAMEWORLD) where you can hear how Frogger sounds in MAME and O2EM.

That's because Frogger uses a special way to generate sounds that is currently not supported by O2em.
