jEnesisDS 0.6

[ZAFDeltaForce]

This is one kick-ass release. A Genesis emulator with sound on the DS is overkill. Time to cut the chit chat and try this baby out

Thanks for the heads up Urza

Sound... this just made my day

I never actually owned a genesis and I remember making a note of good games for the previous releases.
However I got a new comp and stuff like that was lost unfortunely. So could someone please recommend me some must play / good games?

i can finally play sonic with sound...no longer do i have to make my own jumping sounds and collecting rings...

Sound is half the nostalgia! Go jEnesisDS!!

You should try

Gunstar Heroes
Sonic the Hedgehog series (Play three and S&K together instead of playing them separately)
Streets of rage series (If you're going to play part three then play Bare Knuckle 3 instead)
The Rocket knight series (Rocket knight adventures and sparker)
Micheal Jackson's Moonwalk (I think thats the name)

All I can think of right now.

I was excited to see sound on the changelog, but Shadowrun doesn't play well at all. I can get the outside environment to come up with minimal artifacts, but the inventory/stat/dialog screens are all a jumbled mess.

On a brighter note, Shining Force seems to run perfectly.

*double post, sorry*

Phantasy Star II
Ghouls & Ghosts
Mickey Mouse & the Castle of Illusion
Quackshot starring Donald Duck
Fatal Rewind
Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle
Shining Force
Strider
Valis III

This release is amazing! It runs most games I tried at full speed WITH sound!
(probably some minor glitches here and there, but totally playable)

Hare dare you omit the "wong" shield.

Man this sucks, I didn't bring my DS to work today, only my PSP, now I have to wait till I get home to check it out.

Thanks pika3000 and XeroRestraint.
I'll make sure to try them out

Sound! Just tried this and it's bloody amazing! Sonic & Knuckles runs pretty much perfectly with sound! Finally! Portable Mega Drive games! (Nomad doesn't count)

Just donated a fiver to the author.

Actually in the 90s in North America Sega sold a portable genesis sytem that used the full size genesis carts. I'd hazard a guess that they must've also sold it in Europe...

[EDIT]
Did a quick google just to make sure, and yes, there was one and it was called the Nomad. I even kind of sort of remember the name now...

Shame it doesn't run Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
On the bright side, besides the intro, Gunstar Heroes runs practically perfectly which is all I need right now.

Makes me wonder why developers these days use those washed out and blurry sprites in new 2D games when the late SNES/Genisis age styled 2D looks a lot better...in my opinion anyway.

[EDIT]

@cutterjohn: I hope you realize that in the very quote you uh...quoted...shaun says the Nomad doesn't count.

 

[noONE]

Awesome!
I tried that old Michael Jackson Moonwalk game, it's.. so weird ^^
remember playing it a bit when i was younger, just wanted to try it again.
now, off to Sonic 1,2, and 3 , WITH SOUND

oh.. and

Read Shaunjs post again , i think.. he mentioned the Nomad there

So there is a 3mb file limit on roms that can be played?

 

[Bitbyte]

Very nice. Perfect Genesis emulation was the reason I got a GP2X. I hope this is (or will be) as good as that

 

[Saylient_Dreams]

This is probably something really stupid to ask, but is it possible, in some future release, (again I'm just asking if it is possible, not if it's included in the present build), to have multiplayer? I think I read some thread about how its impossible to do wireless mutiplayer on emulators because the DS hardware can't handle it? Man it would be so friggin cool playing Gunstar Heroes multiplayer on this. *goes and finds more games to play on this*

 

[TheNeck]

Awesome program, so far its played about 10 games ive tried perfectly except Mortal Kombat 3 and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 will not load.

 

[Scathraax]

Is it possible to run .sms files on here?
(I assume so, but this is the first I've tried JEnesis on my DS)

If not I'll have to hunt down the .gen files instead.
