custom firmware for sega flashback 2018

[rrifonas]

The problem is not only the emulator (player), but the core and extensions supported are hardcoded in the menu executable. I removed the code with extensions but we can't really enable any other core without rebuild the menu. The only fix would be having another menu app and likely another player since the one being used is very limited, especially with PAL games.

Hi !
I've a problem with my Sega Megadrive flashback 2018 vers.
I've already updated it in official website, when i try to play any game beside internal games it seems to play sounds fx slower as they should be for example when i play Rocket Knight Adventure 2 and i press A to hit by sword i hear the sound of the sword after the animation not at the same time as it sholud be. There is a way to fix it ?
I've tried to update with your custom firmware to play 32x and sega cd games but nothing changes so i think that i do something wrong. Please could anyone help me linking the last custom firmware ?

Thanks !

Try running the NTSC version of the games if you can. PAL games have sound or framerate issues on this device

About the last custom firmware ? I really like to play 32x and sega cd games

Is it possible to have both the internal games and games from the SD card with the custom cover arts appear at the same time on the boot-menu?

This is the latest version: https://gbatemp.net/threads/genesis-flashback-hd-2018-game-manager.529624/page-6#post-8844246
And this post has the last 'stable' version: https://gbatemp.net/threads/custom-firmware-for-sega-flashback-2018.523590/page-9#post-8537041

Is it possible to have both the internal games and games from the SD card with the custom cover arts appear at the same time on the boot-menu?

No. The games in the "GAME" folder in the SD don't support custom cover art. You can use Genesis Flashback HD (2018) Game Manager to manipulate "allgames.ini" and make the 'external' games behave like the internal ones.

Thanks for the reply @rrifonas

I've been looking through the update and dump files especially in the res folder, noticed it contains the majority of the textures used for the boot menu (with a few unused ones) however, Sonic Games and Bonus Games texture options are not present. I was wondering if you knew where these can be located, and whether modifications can be made to two specific items?

The categories are hardcoded in the menu executable.

Does anyone know how to get FM Sound to be enabled on the Genesis Flashback 2018? I am using the custom Genesis Plus GX firmware.

genesis_plus_gx_ym2413=enabled enables FM sound. I didn't test but creating a file retroplayer.ini with the content below in the root of the SD Card might work. The init script has a logic to copy retroplayer.ini from the SD Card to the /data partition. If it works, delete or rename retroplayer.ini to avoid the same file being copied every time the device restarts.

Use it at your own risk ;-)

[hossbags2]

just asking....are you able to setup graphic filters at all. thanks by the way.... I will try your script

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I tried this, not sure if it did anything but SMS still does not have FM sound. Is it supposed to be
genesis_plus_gx_ym2412=enabled

 

[rrifonas]

No display filters.

And I've got this setting from PC version. Atgames changed retroplayer.ini after some update introducing a retroplayer_ro.ini inside the emulator partition, which is read-only. it seems that external settings cannot be applied when you have this file.

 

[hossbags2]

is there any way you can figure out how to change the settings. Would like the SMS to play in FM audio,,,,,but thanks

Sorry if question has been answered already, but has there been any all in one core that plays all the Sega ROMs (genesis, Sega cd, master system, game gear AND 32x)? That is the dream. I know some 32x games through the picodrive firmware don't play well (virtual fighter as an example) could there also be a way to fine tune those 32x ROMs?

 

[godreborn]

maybe try hakchi. it now supports the genesis classic.

Does anyone know the fix for the installation loop? Mine is currently stuck in it

Recently discovered this site/thread so wanted to say thanks to everyone's effort and time they've put in to modding this little console. I was looking for ways to play Master System games on it, don't really have space for another console, and the CFW here was exactly what I was looking for and so easy to use. Will dig into the other aspects of it soon.
Plus the PSP threads look interesting as well.
