Bumping??

On this and most other discussion forums on the Internet, it's generally considered more polite to just edit your last post if you come up with something else to say before someone answers you.

Anyway, you asked about compatibility earlier. While this looks like it generates official Virtual Console titles, under the hood it's running an emulator developed by the community. Like all other community emulators, it was made without "inside knowledge" of how the game console (the Genesis in this case) works, so there's likely to be at least one game that it doesn't run as well, which is why it's not 100% compatible.

Do not be snob all of you and giving people slaps when they post twice. i thought tost will merge auto. but it didnt. Anyway, dont post offtopic please! see? xD

Also, "please" dones't make it less snobby...

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.

So I actually gave this a shot and was able to edit the file without any issues, but what I realized is that the emu will crash if I build a forwarder for any Master System ROM and choose Genesis Plus GX as the emu, even though the standalone retroarch GPGX core will work with them just fine. I'm wondering if there's some configuration somewhere I should change to fix this, or whether it's something innate to the particular build used in the forwarder maker.

This is more related to your retroarch fork than this program but how would i make gpsp forwarders with your retroarch fork?

I used this converter and on old 3ds and both emulators works terrible and slow, but when i use separate app libretro picodrive it works perfectly, the same rom "sonic and knuckles" 60fps constant!

Whats the deal?

Disable the rewind feature on the Step 4 and remake the CIA.

charlequin · Jul 13, 2017

Asdolo, any thoughts on why master system roms don't seem to work with Genesis Plus GX in this forwarder? They seem to function just fine with Picodrive.

Its dissabled. I got old 3ds

I have a suggestion for your emulators:

Can change the noise they do when attemping to choose the game (for example, in this case, the Segaaaa! noise in this emulator to something else up to the time the 3DS can allow in compatible formats)

Seriously, the Segaaaa noise is starting to get annoying to me, and this comes from someone that actually loved that noise.
Would have been better to just insert the Sonic 1-3 & Knuckles Ring SFX

there is a topic with all the Fowarders and injectors for 3ds ?
Wich systems have?
I have for snes, md gen, cps, neogeo and GBA.

Work with Sega CD games?

Not perfectly, but yes. Only on N3DS, though.

I created a cia with the ultimate maker using another game (I used Ristar in this case but any other do) but put the name and banner of the sega cd game I wanted to inject (Sonic CD in this case).

Then used this to extract the resulting cia.
Once I had it extracted, took a look at code.bin inside the exefs and found this
View attachment 87471
so I changed it to load rom.cue instead of rom.bin

Then added the cue and bin of the sega cd game to the romfs (japanese sega cd bios and Sonic CD in this case)
View attachment 87474
renamed the cue file from whatever the name it was to rom.cue (the same as the edited code.bin)

And last but not less changed the retroarch system directory to romfs: in the config file (so retroarch search for the sega cd bios there)
View attachment 87475

Everything done I repacked the cia, installed and in a couple minutes was playing some japanese Sonic CD

The ultimate forwarder maker hasn't been updated, I just used it to create a "false cia" with another game and then inject the sega cd bios, cue and bin files.

I have installed the sega cd cias in both, an old and new 3ds and the old 3ds is too weak to run sega cd games at full speed, only the new 3ds is capable of running them at a playable speed.

So far I have tested:
Keio Flying Squadron
Sonic the Hedgehog CD
Popful Mail
Earthworm Jim Special Edition
Batman Returns
Megarace

All of them run perfectly. I haven't tested any sega cd 32x game.

There should be support for Sega CD and 32x games. I'd love to play Knuckles Chaotix and Sonic CD on my 3ds.

It will, in my New Injector

For some reason this tool doesn't accept roms with the extenstion .gen despite there being emulators that CAN emulate them just fine. I was trying to create a cia file of "Sonic 3 Complete", a rom hack of S3&K that only seems to be available in .gen format. It works fine when played with GenesisPlusGX but I'd still like the option of making it it's own .cia

Just change the extension, I'll fix that in my New Super Ultimate Injector.

I thought that would corrupt the ROM but I guess not. And what do you mean by your new super ultimate injector? Is that gonna be a combination of all of your injectors or just an enhancement of the genesis injector that adds support for CD and 32X roms?

EDIT: It worked!

Chomper · Sep 29, 2017

When can we expect the New Super Ultimate Injector to be released?

MasterPeter · Oct 5, 2017

Is it possible to inject Sega Master System Games with this Tool

Kirbyhammer7 · Oct 16, 2017

I am attempting to do the Sega CD inject thing myself, but how do I open the code.bin? In other words, how do I extract or open the exefs? I have the decrypted exefs currently, so I am confused. Do I need another program besides the HackingToolkit9DS? Thanks

SEGAwdCD · Nov 15, 2017

So I made my first CIA games and installed them. I used custom image for the lower screen and they all have a blue tint over the image. Anyone else have this issue? Maybe I missed a step. Everything else seems to work fine but the lower screen is distracting with the image glowing blue.
