Ah, I was using Genesis Plus GX (installed as a CIA). I'll give Picodrive a shot, thanks!Which core are you using? It should run better in Picodrive than Genesis Plus GX.
Thanks for your response. Good to know we can at least have samples in FBA. Be nice to have high score support in MAME though. From memory Android version of RetroArch MAME didn't support high scores either. Not sure about PC version.@rygar Re: samples, in theory the MAME core should support them, in practice it might or might not. I was trying to figure out where MAME 2003 expects samples with some help from Radius, but although we identified what seemed to be the correct location, they didn't work loaded from there. So it's kind of a "nobody knows" situation.
The FBA core should support samples, at least, placed in a directory named "samples" under the ROM directory.
SF3 works great for me in FBA Full (using sfiiij rom and sfiii parent present in the directory) - runs between 40 - 60fps, so averaging about 10fps faster than you report it running in Mame. I even posted screens in this thread.It is kind of a pain to figure out which Roms work, and which ones dont. I got the correct FBA Romset, yet when I go to run SFIII, it tells me I am missing Files, I go to MAME 0.139 Romset, and it works. But most of the Roms for them work perfectly fine. But there are some Roms that work in MAME .78, and some Roms you have to use with FBA Romset. LOL
As for MAME 0.78 Roms, go to TPB and search mame 78. Can not link it to here. You will need both Torrent Files since the Poster did them in 2 Parts
The folder in the latest build, "fb_alpha_libretro", is that CPS3?

You can only do genesis injection, not sega cd. (use sonic 2 3D classics)Also, is it possible to inject Sonic CD in anything, or does injecting only work for Genesis and Game Gear so far (as far as SEGA consoles are concerned)?
ooooh! that why then thanks a LOT for the clarification ! (will edit OP)
libretro-fba would be too power/ ram hungry ?
makes sense
(if you ever have some time to spare to try to build that one, I/we'll do some testing to check some roms that allow us to have an idea of RAM limit/how fps are etc)
This is wrong - It's in the OP what they should be called and where they go:The Sega CD BIOS files need to be named as follows:
- us_scd1_9210.bin (US BIOS)
- eu_mcd1_9210.bin (EUR BIOS)
- jp_mcd1_9210.bin (Japan BIOS)
You should be able to rename your .md format BIOS accordingly and everything should work as it should
Sega CD - Location retroarch/cores/system
- bios_CD_E.bin (MegaCD EU BIOS)
- bios_CD_U.bin (SegaCD US BIOS)
- bios_CD_J.bin (MegaCD JP BIOS)
Sonic CD runs at a low fps in Picodrive, it's really unplayableWhich core are you using? It should run better in Picodrive than Genesis Plus GX.
