jEnesisDS 0.6

[m3rox]

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.

You do know that sms = Sega Master System, right? Not Sega Genesis/Mega Drive.

Oh shoot..
I shoulda caught that..

Thanks for correcting me!

If you want to play Master System games on the DS, check out DSMasterPlus.

Who would believe that Genesis emulation with sound in full speed is possible? Awesome!

Also those of you asking for recommended games, I recommend you Flink. It's a great platformer with beautiful graphics. I think it was developed by Psygnosis.

Well I've been following the emulation scene for 10 years now and I remember the KGEN Genesis emulator coming out on the PC. I thought that was an amazing achievement.
But this really is an unbelievable achievement. I never thought we would see a Genesis emulator with sound on the DS. Well done to all those involved.
I have just been trying Splatterhouse 3, Spiderman, Batman ans Sonic 2 and they all seem to work great.

That DSMasterPlus thing sounds really good, there were a couple mentionable games for the master system. Shame I cant read the site

Other worthy genesis games are Rock 'n' Roll Racing and Miro Machines 2 turbo tournament

oh, so FINALLY he released it to public.
I had this version for a long time but wasnt allowed to talk about it.

Cool that you guys enjoy it but I dont since most of my favourites still are mutes with this emu.

 

[Rayder]

I found quite a few games that just don't boot or don't play correctly:
Double Dragon (all of them) no boot
George Foreman boxing - no boot
Boxing Legends of the Ring - no boot
Road Rash (all of them.....goofed graphics)


Maybe I just didn't dork around with the settings correctly, or those games just don't work. If anyone got the Double Dragon games to work....how?

Still, I have my Sonic games, and Turrican and Mega Turrican appear to work, so I'm happy. Turrican whoops the bejeebers out of Megaman, IMO.

To be honest, I never even bothered to try jEnesisDS until this release. I can't stand to play games without sound. This emu is WAY better than I expected. While the sound isn't perfect, it's good enough to give me that nostalgic feeling.

This emu is awesome. I'm going to try General Chaos

Oh really? The version i gave out was a beta, that i would have NEVER released publicly and also just finished on the day i released it. The beta didn't have Z80 emulation, and the sound working was more luck than anything. The released version should have sound for almost all games, except a few like WonderBoy, which should be solved in the next release.

I have to look into the games not working. Double Dragon is very timing sensitive and i had a hard time getting it working on the Java version at first, too. George Foreman and Boxing Legends work for me, with H-Int set to "ON". This helps many games that don't boot otherwise, like Story of Thor, for example. (That's why this is also stated in the readme, but who reads them anyway)

Road Rash, like many EA games unfortunately uses the 128 tile wide background mode, which doesn't natively exist on the DS. Finding a way around this is problematic, but i'll see if there is any.

Lordus, you rock. This is my new favorite DS app.

 

[[M]artin]

Fucking shaweeeeeet! Thanks a ton, Lordus!!!

 

[Agjsdfd]

Havin problems with loading. Its glitchy after you load the game. Then when i die, screen is fine(Jungle Book).

 

[Lordus_]

I guess then you just have to die more often. No seriously, there are some issues with the hardware renderer, that are not easy to solve, but hopefully i will manage to for the next version. I just spent SO much time on the sound part and everything involved to make faster, to still be playable with sound, that i didn't really have time to work a lot on other things.
Sometimes, when the screen gets corrupted, it helps to turn the option "Force update" off, go into the game, turn it on again and finally continue playing (fixes for example Kidd Chameleon, Viewpoint).

 

[victorlammy]

I will try the v0.6 tonight! so exited to see it is out! GREAT WORK Lordus!!!!!!!YOU R MY HERO!

 

[Browncoat1984]

Yay! FINALLY a Genesis emulator with sound! I just loaded it up and I love it, played through the original Sonic and it plays great. Soooo...now that I can finally REALLY enjoy Genesis games on my DS, anybody got any suggestions as to what games are great on the Genesis that I can put on my DS (I'm not as familiar with the Genesis library as I should be).

 

[test84]

Sonic the Hedgehog series (Play three and S&K together instead of playing them separately)


could you explain it more? what did u mean by playing them together? parallely?

The Rocket knight series (Rocket knight adventures and sparker)

correct name is Sparkster.

 

[pika3000]

Sorry about that

, I meant playing them with the carts attached as S&K has an expansion port on top which you can put Sonic 3 into, the rom site usually list it as sonic 3 and sonic & knuckles I think.

 

[test84]

wow, could you please explain about that? what happens and how thats possible to do with jEnesisDS?
