Issue with unlicensed games

[wark91]

I tried those two games:
- (sha1sum) 4ef41e4caccab118014abb8e079c7e5668a4f468 Legend of Wukong (World) (Unl).md
* There is a SRAM error message on the screen

- (sha1sum) 791ee690b2929d4edfda22ff23d7cfd74376299e Star Odyssey (USA, Europe) (Unl).md
* The games not start, we have just black screen.

Do you know if those two games work on real hardware ? Maybe need some settings on the genesis core ?

Yes, they do work on original hardware and they also work on GenplusGx, since it implements the special mappers used by both games.

Maybe MiSTer Genesis core is still missing those mappers?

[bootsector]

I've confirmed the core lacks support for Beggar Prince as well.

I've opened this issue in the Genesis core repo: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Genesis ... issues/149

Thank you for opening this issue on github.

I have tried Beggar Prince (rev 1) this one booted without issue on Mister. Maybe those two revisions don't used the same mapper.

This console have quite good Unlicensed games. I like "Old Towers (World) (Unl).md"

[bootsector]

Beggar Prince apparently boots fine, but try entering/leaving some houses at the beginning and it will reboot. Also it will fail saving when you have a chance to do so.

On Beggar Prince, When I enter the First house on the left the game reboot but it is not the case for other houses on the left.
It is weird ....

[bootsector]

Yeah, it requires its own mapper to be implemented inside Genesis core as well.
