Homebrew 32X Virtual Console games

[FoxySonicMaster108]

So I've tried injecting Knuckles Chaotix into a Sonic 3 Wad and every time it starts up it pops up with this:

Can someone please help me with this?

Well I'm no expert in the subject but it looks fairly self explanatory... Whatever emulator you're using doesn't seem to support 32X games. Which would make sense because no 32X games were released on the Wii Virtual Console.

I presume that's the same message you'd get if you attempted to plug the real cartridge directly into a real Megadrive

But isn't already obvious you can't play 32x on a Genesis? The same way you cannot play PlayStation 4 games on an Xbox 360?

@FoxySonicMaster108 Sorry for necrobump... but i have to aclare this.

There is no way to run SEGA 32X / Mega 32X games in the "built-in" VC emulator of Wii of SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive.

Genesis 32X (or simply 32X) is a peripheral designed for Genesis / Mega Drive by SEGA for expand the 16-bit Genesis/Mega Drive's functionalities with additional hardware and specs for make it run in 32-bit. And these games that require the 32X hardware will lock up in a "incompatible hardware" screen if inserted into the Genesis/Mega Drive without the 32X peripheral.

If you really want to play SEGA 32X on Wii, the only thing i can recommend is using this newish port for Wii of the emulator PicoDrive, which is a true 32X emulator, but it is still in progress and some games may slowdown.

This newish PicoDrive Wii can be downloaded with LibRetro's RetroArch Wii.

Here's a thread about this here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/32x-emulation-is-now-on-wii.587508/
