doesn't crash here, what rom did you try?

I played through a couple of planets myself, so no issues with my ROM from the Smokemonster set.

I use the hotkey on my Hi-Def NES to reset my console. There are 2 hotkeys: Long Reset and Short Reset. I used to be able to use the Long Reset to return to the EverDrive menu, but it no longer works in v1.20. It seems like it now requires RESET to be held down much longer on the console itself to return to the menu.

Also, I miss the old FDS loader that looked like it emulated the original FDS BIOS. Would it be possible to get that back?

I can live with the FDS change though. The reset issue is a much bigger problem for me. That being said, the full MMC5 support is great! Thank you so much for all your effort, Krikzz!

Haven't played much NES since I updated but I can confirm that Karnov doesn't work on my stock Front Loader.  I'm going back to previous firmware until this gets fixed and/or get an N8pro when I get an A/V Famicom.

On 1.21 reset to menu is broken on my NES toploader, it always goes to a black screen. It's fine on 1.20.

[James-F]

1.21 works fine here.
I see this after reset and everything boots normally.

OS init...
ok

Hi,

I confirm Karnov is fixed with this new 1.21 firmware

thanx Krizz !

Yes same issue here with my nes frontloader ,reset from the menu is ok but reset from a game  give me back to a black screen.

edit : after some search , the reset issue is  probably related to the SDcard and folder management

Was mapper 99 not fixed in the 1.21? Vs. Excitebike still shows the same glitchy graphics.
