Homebrew Question Any real Sega CD emulators out there?

[tbb043]

Maybe you didn't check which forum you're in, it would be tricky to use the real discs on a Switch.

I was just riffing on emus in general, but no i didnt' notice, I got in the thread from the front page

picodrive works fine, bios names are: us_scd1_9219.bin jp_mcd1_9112.bin eu_mcd1_9210.bin.

Picodrives not working for me.

Picodrives not working for me.

did you change the "System/BIOS" path in the retroarch directory settings to the right one? make it point at the folder containing the bios files.

if you already did that then i dunno, has to be something on your end.

It just flashes to a white screen then says no items.

PFBA runs Sega Megadrive aka Genesis, plus Master Systems and Game Gear, i dont really know what more you want lol.

Are you sure the us bios is named "us_scd1_9219" and not "us_scd1_9210"?

 

[The Real Jdbye]

Where do I have to put the bios?

It's two different naming schemes depending on the emulator. I followed instructions for RetroPie since I was running it on a Raspberry Pi, but most likely there will be a BIOS folder in the RetroPie folder (if not, make it) and you have to put the files there with the correct names. The names should match the ones here: https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Sega-CD
Yes, you need 2 copies of each file with different names if you want to use both PicoDrive and Genesis Plus GX.

 

[SeongGino]

A) One heck of a title. =w='

B) Check the documentation first.

 

[Rabbid4240]

nvm I got it done.

Yeah you're right sorry for the typo and the late reply, didn't see it earlier.

It's fine. I got the emulator up and running.

.iso .cue and .bin are all formats for Sega-CD-ROM. But I don't remember having to use .chd

 

[WiiuGold]

pfba works just fine (just don't get it in the appstore) you have to put roms in the "sms" file in the pfba folder (if its not there, just make one). Then put the rom in a .zip folder and name it specifically "miracle". its the master system version btw.

@xiaohei @SexySpai May as well not bother with the hbstore releases since they are almost always behind on release milestones. Or pFBA as a matter of fact.
Ahem.

You do realize that it links to the exact same emulation platform being ported by the exact same person (m4xw), right?
