Generations Dashboard 4.0 for the flashback hd (new version release)

cue+bin for the cd formats both in their respective folders.

Genesis-cd\Snatcher\Snatcher.cue or Genesis-cd\Snatcher.cue?

the latter

the latter

Hm. That is what I have it set up as. It doesn't show.

--EDIT--

Okay, it is case sensitive. All lower case makes them show up.

I have another question, I have an official Sega Genesis 6 button controller plugged in, but MD.Emu can only detect the DPAD and A/B. Nothing else seems to register. Is there a solution to this?

 

[WD_GASTER2]

does the 6 button work with the other emulators no issue?
i really am not sure why are having this many problems. i use a 6 button wired controller no problem.

The entire documentation for this install is very vague. It would need a more coherent write up. For example, the photo of the wire mod is blurry and is buried in another thread. Also, file types don't seem to be listed anywhere. .gen and .md are very common dump types, redump uses .md on their .dat.

I can write a complete guide at some point to help out with this mod. It's very useful, thanks for doing it. I'd like to help out with what I can.

A video would be cool to make, but I'd need a fresh unit and the prices on these things went sky high. I bought mine at $35, the cheapest I can find is $75. I'll wait for a deal.

As for the controller, it works fine on my PC but I don't have a Genesis around to test it out. I'll grab another one from storage to see if the controller is the issue.

The link to the "lite" version of the launcher is dead. Any chance it could be reuploaded?

 

[WD_GASTER2]

I no longer have that version in my files. i would check with those that downloaded in the thread and see if they still have it in a zip file on their pcs. my apologies for the inconvenience.

Hi ! First of all ... really great work =)

How can I switch the default path from /mnt/usb_storage/USB_DISK0/udisk0/Games to /mnt/internal_SD/Games

I can't see the Games in the Dashboard

Would be so great if I could change this =)

Very, very kind Regard =)

 

[WD_GASTER2]

its hard coded Polarwolf. you would need to do the usb mod in order to get this stuff to work. I am sorry i no longer have the regular SD card dashboard source code. Otherwise i would gladly compile it for you.

 

[Polarwolf]

No Prob @ all =) Did the USB Power Mod and everything works fine now =)

Thank you so much for your great work !

Cheers / Vielen Dank ! ^^/

Hello.
I have a Stock Megadrive Flashback 2017. I downloaded the file "Notice Me Senpai Edition.rar", and I have some questions how to proceed. So please, let me know if these steps are right.

1 - Make the USB mod > Just need a wire in the first leg of the usb port, right? There is just a picture without instructions.
2 - Make a NAND BACKUP. > got a file called MDFBREW.ORG.7z that explain how to do this. Looks ok.
3 - Prepare the files:
- What's names should I put in the bios files?
- Put all APK files in the root.
- Copy all roms to a pendrive
4 - And now? I think that I need to plug the console in my computer and just run "installer.bat", right?

Thanks!

Yes that is correct....but between you and me.... new version is in development. Stay tuned.

p.s. you will need to configure the keypad settings on each emu after your done

Nice! Should I just wait?
I read in the readme that it needs to be stock, so maybe would be better to wait this new version.
And I could make a step by step tutorial with pictures for future reference.

 

[WD_GASTER2]

Go ahead and update now. Next version will accommodate for already modded units. I’m really bad at documenting stuff and always leave that stuff up to the community. Thank you if you can btw.My hobby is coding . The new version will be either late next month or Christmas.

 

[Ashramkun]

Ok! Just let me know the names that I should use in the bios files.

Syscard3.pce for pc engine. Then point to it via the .emu emulator. The Sega cd can be called bios.bin again just pointing to it via the emulator

Awesome custom firmware, good job! Thanks

Source is now available upon request. send me a pm. if someone knows how to github this thing or follow proper dev guidelines feel free to reach out to me as well.

I know this was a while ago, but I am quite good with GitHub - I use it with my Games Dev students - and would be interested in hosting source code, etc, for this. Have just got a load of Flashbacks (old and new) to do hacking with.

Hi there

I had problems to find the OTG cable. I have dad 2 orders canceled until finally to find in a local store.
So yesterday, I could test my installation, and the USB didn't work. The slot is working.

I am using a pen drive that have a led. In the boot, the led works. After that, it doens't turn on if I try to read.

I made the USB mod, as you can see in the picture.

Any ideia?
