Original [issue 181](https://code.google.com/p/genplus-gx/issues/detail?id=181) created by [e-mail] on 2011-09-02T20:23:01.000Z:

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1.have s&K.rom file and sk2memchip 2.load sonic 2 with lock on sonic and knuckles 3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? according to the new release should start up knuckles in sonic 2 game instead i get a endless black screen

What version of the emulator are you using (official, SVN revision,...)? current and i re downloaded sonic 2, s&k , and s2 mem chip (all 3 versions) i could find(using only 1 at a time )

Please provide any additional information below (Video settings, Console region,...) when using lock on with sonic 1 or sonic 3 i get what you would get with the original games and sonic 3 needs the sonic 2 memchip to play with knuckles in it as well. however if i for giggles try to load the mem chip by its self no lock on or anything i get the knuckles in sonic 2 game. not 100% sure if im not doing this right or not if but i do get the sonic 3 with knuckles game at the current settings here now i have the 2 roms correctly named as per the manual state in .bin format and in the root genesis folder with the action replay and game genie roms. everything but the sonic 2 locked on game wont play here. at first i thought it was the upmem chip that was incorrect since there are 3 of them but all 3 didnt work for me. please help or fix the error that im comming accross here thanks btw great emulator i love it

It works fine for me, using the latest official release. It sounds to me like the ROMs you're trying to use are pre-compiled Sonic 2 & Knuckles standalone ROMs, which is why they load when you select them. When you check the file size, the proper size should be 256k. I'd upload my own file here, but I'm not sure about the legality of that.

the file isnt the stand alone rom here its the s2k chip here but thanks for the heads up on the file size here and try again for the rom of the mem chip or send it to my email if that is allowed

Never mind you can Close this issue out i guess i really did have the wrong memchip and thanks Ice for getting me that it works just fine here now and i cant say enough what an awesome emulator you have here i hope that when the Wii U comes out you will be able to port it over.
