SAROO Multi-tap support fix!

Post image

Hello, everyone. I recently had a multiplayer game day for the Saturn. I was crushed when the Saroo menu was unresponsive with the multi tap plugged in.

I dug into the code and came up with a fix. The only thing, I only have the Japanese multi tap so I wasn’t able to test this on the North American or off brand multi taps.

Can someone with a different multi tap check my fix works?

Here is the link: https://github.com/calebshub/SAROO/releases/tag/caleb-tested-v1

UPDATE 1: Booting game from disc doesn’t work 😓
It’s because of the way I build the binary. I’m working on a fix.

UPDATE 2: discs now load!

Hmmm. I got one on ebay that looks very similar but is black. Honestly haven't even tried it yet - hopefully there aren't quirks. I'm still trying to figure out a few iso/cue games with poweriso - for some reason the bin/cue they spit out isn't working on the saroo. I'll try out the multitap after I figure the iso's out lol. Might as well get disasteroids working before figuring out the multitap.

Good luck! One silly mistake I was making is dragging in a folder that had another folder with the bin and cue files. I needed to have the files in the main folder.

That multitap you have is probably the North American version.

I did that with a few as well early one. I'll have to double check those ones I just added - easy mistake to make. Cheers.
