Homebrew Gensplus GX 1.5.0 Released

[mark0217]

Um... My emulator looks nothing like the pic? It just looks like the old version... What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: nevermind, my old channel forwarder isn't working for some reason... Anyone care to make a forwarder channel? I've tried but can't make one to save my life

EDIT 2: nvm this again lol, found one floating on GBATemp amidst the dead links

I've tried playing my gamegear games and they're displayed in funky colors and the controller doesn't work

 

[Pikawil]

which ".dol" I have to use with the HB channel? the one that comes in the apps folder right?
what about these two: genplus_cube.dol genplus_wii.dol ???
The apps folder is what you want for the HB channel.

QUOTEI've tried playing my gamegear games and they're displayed in funky colors and the controller doesn't work

There is only Master System support in this update, not Game Gear. You want SMSPlus for Game Gear for the time being.

Is there any way to have separate copies/ channels of gensplus gx 1.5.0 within homebrew to operate as the genesis and mastersystem separately, so they use separate rom folders and 'remember' them?

add gg support & change name maybe....

I have my genesis games on my sd and sms on usb, and it seems to work good

the forwarder chan i'm using works it's the one with sonic and tails on it and sonic is running.

I see, but is it possible to have separate gensplus on a single sd recognize and remember separate sms and gens roms folders respectively?

i don't think so unless you fancied whipping up your own version of gens, but is it really nessiary to seperate the roms this way?

No, not absolutely necessary. I just like to have separate icons for each of the systems (shared emulators or not) merely for hbc presentation.

I can,t configurate this emulator for all screen for master system, can you put the archive cfg?

Master System games never were fullscreen, I always got colored bars on my TV as far as I remember, i think it's because the resolution height was slightly smaller than Genesis games. You can force the display to be scaled vertically in video options menu but this won't look right , i once tried in smsplus gx and alex kidd was kinda too tall and too thin :-)

 

[Hielkenator]

I don't think sms games are supported in zip format.
Can anyone confirm?

Also the controls seen MUCH tighter in this version.
I've been using the gui version for some time now and I love it!

 

[Jacobeian]

all my zipped .sms files works here... make sure you only have one ROM file per .zip file, I know I had some trouble with .zip coming from shady places that added some readme.html inside them

 

[wiimanofthenorth]

If one day CD or 32X could be added that would be great. But I know that's more of a Fusion thing on the PC.

 

[duffmmann]

Ok, this emulator rocks. But I have a question, how is it possible? Was there a version of the genesis that could play master system games as well? Was there maybe an adapter or something that allowed it to play master system games? Or is it simply a case of great programming? And if so, could the same be done for the Super NES emulator and regular NES games?

 

[Ergo]

The Genesis has most of the same hardware as a SMS, principally the Z80 chip which is the CPU in the latter and handles stereo sound separation (amongst other things) on the former. So if you emulate a Genesis correctly, you get most of the work of emulating a SMS for 'free'. (Yes, this is a gross over-simplification, but I think you get the point.)

(It should also be pointed out that the emu author, ekeeke, also wrote the SMS emu on Genesis (or at least ported it) so 'merging' it w/ the Genesis codebase was probably a pretty straightforward process. In fact, the lack of GG support is probably down to the fact that it's a bit more difficult to emulate a GG due to a number of hardware differences between it and the SMS, so it isn't as 'free' as SMS support.)

yes there was an official sega adapter called the power base hope that answer your question

Yes it works I'm sorry, the last time GGX just crashed. Now it works fine.

When will it be released on Homebrew Browser?
