Homebrew How do you make a Sega CD forwarder

[SonsofOcelot]

Ok the title says it all. I've used NSUI to make some forwarders that I want but I really want to make one for Sonic CD. I tried editing a megadrive via in NSUI (checked the bios path and made sure there was a proper bios there, pointed the rom path to a cue file that pointed to the bin file, and was using picodrive) but that didn't work. I know it can be done, but how because I can't find a tutorial... Any help?

Since you're gonna make it with Sonic CD, would you share the final .cia result for us all? seems kinda pointless to have all of us go thru that hassle when, personally, i only wanna play sonic CD as well

Are you asking others to share their CIA to you?

Are you asking others to share their CIA to you?

Is that against the rules or something?

Can't share the final cia with you because it goes against gbatemp rules. We can't directly distribute copyrighted materials. I will be sure to let you all know if it worked though as I'm currently installing the cia.

Oh, gotcha. Didn't know about that. I'll await your results and try it myself then.
Strange since everyone's making tools and hacks and such that allow the creation and manipulation of such files, but they can't be shared. But okay i won't argue with the forum's rules.

See section "Warez".

• Terms of Service and Rules

That means no asking someone to share download links or upload what they have, and vice-versa of someone providing those.

Now, if someone worded something along the lines like, "I need help. The game I got from that ISO site [defunct] and that cia site aren't working. What to do?", where you're not exactly asking or telling others specifically where to find warez, then the mods are usually okay with that.

You're very welcome! Glad my guide helped! I'll copy my guide and open up a thread tutorial in case anyone else needs it too.
