Testing Namco System 246 emulation on Play!

Some basic JVS support has been added to the 2x6 branch so I thought now was prime time to make a video.

NOTES:
Play! I find personally isn't the most performant emulator, though games on the PS2 side have become playable all the time as of recent, what I'm testing here already runs slow (except Capcom Fighting Jam which is playable) and I'm using a craptop with no GPU so OBS made things drop hard.

Tekken 4 is missing one of the kick buttons.
Can't access test mode yet(?)
Ridge Racer V Arcade Battle doesn't have JVS implemented yet.
Many games you saw on my list don't actually work and booting them just goes to a black screen.
Fate Unlimited Codes CAN boot but it requires an HDD and while it'll get into the boot process it has two elfs for loading the game, and the HDD support is kind of hacky atm according to jpd.
System 256 games do not currently boot according to jpd although he has shown MotoGP going into attract.

    Yeah, it desperately needs to be optimized, but overall it’s a WIP. Even my high end gaming laptop has trouble playing Soul Calibur and TEKKEN. Bloody Roar plays well though. It’s HLE, so that’s why it’s slow. Even with my GPU on performance rather than quality it struggles. Sometimes uncapping the frame rate helps a bit. Considering that it’s being programmed mostly by one person it’s incredible that it’s come this far.
  • When I start a game, I get an error that says: "Invalid ISO9660 Volume Descriptor". Help me pls
  • Where can I download decrypted Game Files for the Namco System 246 and 256 Emulator "Play!" These Game Files can present in cue, chd, bin or elf. Only important is, that these Games starts and playable with this Emulator! After all I don't know how to handle with chdman, to decrypted these chd files. Finally chdman is to difficult for me to decrypted a Game File anyhow. And this can be quite frusted when aren't see any good Result.
  • Failed to open CHD File. What should I do to solve it? Any advice, tips or anything to fix this?
