i tried rondo on the iDeaS v1.0.2.4 and the first time round it worked well into one of the tutorials, before hitting a repeating error (a box pops up with the text 'lino') during one of the attack animation. it was looking pretty sweet, i might add.
after this happened, i had to reset the emulator and now i cannot even get passed the boot up screens before the same error hits.
Lino is the pseudonym of the guy wrote created iDeaS 1.0.2.4, if anyone knows what this error is about, any help would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: i tried removing the setup.ini file so that it would be recreated as default, and it worked. the sprites are not too great (they flash in and out a bit) but it works pretty well as long as your computer can handle it. as for the reason... i've still got no idea. but this solution works pretty well.
