Ok trying to get SegaCD working with GenPlus GX, I have genesis roms working fine with the emu from home brew. I downloaded the SegaCD USA bios and renamed it to bios_CD_U.bin now I wasn't really sure where to place the bios file on the SD card. I ended creating a bios folder in the genplus gx folder within my apps folder and I also just put the bios file in the folder. Also not sure where to place the .iso of the segacd game on the SD card. First I made a CD folder in the genplus gx folder and placed the .iso in there and tried to load the .iso and it said "Unable to open bios_CD_U.bin" so I tried extracting the .iso into the same directly and tried to load the game.bin and that just boots to a black screen. Someone help please? BTW the game is WWF Rage in the Cage if that makes any difference.

bios_CD_U.bin goes in SD:\genplus\bios
Your ROM files go in SD:\genplus\roms or in an optional CD folder inside the roms folder.

Be sure that the in-app system settings aren't set to try to boot your SegaCD ROM on another Sega console.
In Settings > System, try:
Console Type: AUTO
Console Region: AUTO
System Boot: BIOS&CART
BIOS & Lock-On ROM paths >
Point CD BIOS (USA) to bios_CD_U.bin

Let me know if this helps.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Kodi repost are still pretty popular
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    oh you mean the 3rd party apps on Kodi, yea i know what you mean, yea there are still a few cool ones, in fact watched the new planet of the apes movie other night w wifey thru one, was good pic surprisingly, not a cam
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
