No Megadrive injector. Although Sonic 1 & 2 exist in the eshop, it is highly optimized specifically for those games and injecting another game into them causes a variety of negative effects, such as a crash resulting in a reboot after you play your injected MD game and, I think, no saved-game support.

Unfortunately, we're all better off with a homebrew emulator.

@Asdolo , mate you have made this SEGA fanboy VERY happy with this and your MD injector. I'm just wondering; someone mentioned an SMS injector can't be done because SMS games were never on VC. However, GG and SMS were both pretty much the same so, theoretically, wouldn't this injector do the job?

I believe you can actually use GEN-MD Forwarder Maker to make SMS injects because it uses Picodrive emulator, and it can emulate SMS roms.

You'll obviously miss a SMS 3D banner, but as soon as I get one, I'll make it 100% compatible with the injector.

@Asdolo Is it possible to have some sort of config option for the programs? For some reason when each step requires a file it uses last opened directory, if there is a way for specific directory For example

Screen shots. Desktop/injections/Screenshots
Roms Desktop/injections/roms
CIA desktop/injections/CIA

Something like that, instead of having to browse to the directory cause it always start from last open file directory.

Awesome, can't wait!

Apologies if this is another stupid question, but I see that all your injectors work with an emulator. This means that emulator needs to be installed, yes?

Umm the injector is the emulator. It injects roms into virtual console. :P

If you mean forwarders, is different. You need the rom and homebrew set up and all it does is load the homebrew with rom from the home menu instead of the HBL :)

So, I'm having an issue where each time I create a GG .cia, it takes way longer than it should, then about halfway through the progress bar, a message window pops up saying something along the lines of "data has been copied to the clipboard" in Spanish. Then, when the bar finally finishes and it says the .cia has been successfully created, it is nowhere to be found, even if I click Yes to open the output folder.

Did you try open as admin? What rom are you using? where did you extract the VC injector program?

Extracted the program to my Downloads folder. ROMs I'm trying are Sonic Chaos, Sonic Labyrinth, Sonic the Hedgehog: Triple Trouble, Tails Adventures, and Tails' Skypatrol. Of all of them, Triple Trouble was the only one that actually made it into a .cia, and I tried all of them as Administrator and as not.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
