Great work... thank you so much 4 this

Is there a way to use Cheats in the Games?

In the original RetroArch emulators there is a Cheats options. I don't know how/if it works.

Is anybody knows, he/she can tell me so I can enable that option on the forwarders too.

Sakitoshi, you are a genius. Snatcher works like a dream.

Curiosity got the best of me and I decided to adventure a little bit with this newfound knowledge. I tried to employ the same technique for Turbo CD games, such as Ys Book I & II. I couldn't find a rom.bin in the dummy CIA I dumped, though. It was "[random symbols].bin". There's also a pceconfig.bin. Too scared to edit this and see what they do, considering the PCE tool Asdolo built is an injector, not a forwarder (Neutopia II works really well in the PCE injector, BTW!).

I'm just gonna throw this out there, but how difficult would it be to build a PCE-CD forwarder? I'd really just use it for Ys and Legend of Xanadu, and I'm sure not a lot of people would use it...but I could dream. :')

If there's a PCE-CD RetroArch core then I could try.

Hmm, which is better? This or the official Genesis VC emulation?

The Official Genesis """VC""" has not many compatible ROMs.

What are the chances of a Neo Geo Pocket forwarder using the RetroArch core?
I don't think there's an NGP RetroArch core for 3DS, but there is a Neo Geo Pocket Color emulator named NeoPop 3DS. The chances of a forwarder using that emulator are almost nil, though, especially since it's still a little bit slow.

Mednafen_NGP_libretro.cia is included in the RetroArch nightlies

First off, thank you for this tool (and all your other ones), it's super great and I've made a ton of use of it.

There was one thing I was wondering about. With this forwarder, although it says Genesis/Megadrive, I've gotten it to load Master System games just fine by renaming the files before building the CIA. However, because there's no settings option in the menus, I can't enable the FM Synthesis sound for games like the JP version of Phantasy Star. Would it be possible to add a selector for this setting, or to set it by default to "True" instead of "Auto"?

You can try extracting the CIA and enabling FM Synthesis sound from there, just like how you would extract a GEN forwarder CIA and then hex edit it and put files in it for it to support Sega CD.
