OK, I don't mean to sound bitchy or complacent, but how does this run compared to DrMD (on the GP32)?

I have been using that for emulation for years now, but since buying my DS, I hardly play emus any more (apart from Neogeo

). I'd rather leave it for now if it's not comparable to DrMD and dig up my GP32 or wait for a later version.

Thankies.

The main problem with jEnesisDS is that the DS screen is only 256x192 pixels wide, but most Genesis games use a 320x240 resolution. There's an option for vertical scaling, but horizontal scaling isn't possible the way jEnesis renders the graphics.

Otherwise, it's a great emulator with good sound, speed and compatibility, but if you have a GP32, then DrMD is a better way of playing Genesis games.

The Genesis 3 is very different from the Genesis 2, by the way. Mostly it's way way smaller and missing the CD expansion port. Also, it was marketed by Majesco, not Sega. Sega did market a lot of other Genesis hardware, though, like the CDX, X'Eye, Nomad, etc.

I used to think that real-time Genesis emulation on the DS was going to be impossible, then jEnesisDS proved me wrong. Now it's getting to the point that it's approaching the best of the classic console emulators; it leaves the SNES emulators in the dust, and dare I say it surpasses NESDS with its excellent UI. Thanks for all of the hard work Stephan, it's a great emulator.

Now if you could just add support for external RAM packs so that we could play Sonic 3 & Knuckles...

anyone have ideas for must have genesis games?

Seriously, its an overlooked game.

The speed is great - the DPad scrolling is awesome. On platformers like Sonic, it make the lack of horizontal scaling almost a non-issue. It's not the default setting, but I recommend everybody give it a shot.

The speed increase was especially great for Vectorman and Batman & Robin BTW. Batman and Robin still has some wonkiness in the backgrounds, but totally playable.

Thanks. At least I can play Neogeo games without digging up the GP32

Shinobi 1's HUD is corrupted with this one.

Shinobi 1's HUD is corrupted with this one.

I can't reproduce that, works fine for me. Maybe after loading a savestate? Savestates don't work very well yet.

I can't seem to open Sensible Soccer-International Edition, it just leaves a black screen.

Say it again Hadrian. My absolute favorite game on the genesis. I could play that for hours.

Hi Lordus,

I'd like to say thanks!

I noticed that Street Fighter 2 Special Championship Edition still doesnt detect the 6 button pad properly. Is there hope for a fix? It plays in-game with 6 buttons if you enable the 6 button pad before loading the rom, but when you go to the in-game options to remap the buttons, the game only sees the gamepad as a 3 button pad.

 

[wynsezhello]

is joe and mac compatible with this? i've tried it, didn't work.

joe and mac = ancient metal slug

 

[Hso]

Does anyone know if Kid Chameleon works with this version, or any other EMU?
Last time I tried it, i had no luck

I will spend a bit more time to fix things like that now, and work on compatibility.

Works for me..

Should work alright since a few versions ago. Maybe it's a bad ROM? This game doesn't need it, but if any game doesn't work, try setting H-Int to ON first. That fixes a lot of things.

 

[TrolleyDave]

Awesome work again Lordus mate.

 

[Axaj]

The thing I love about emus of old consoles is that sega/nintendo/atari/blahblahblahectectect doesn't lose money when we download ROMs.

 

[Apex]

Fantastic, I love Genesis in the palm of my hands.

(Screw the Nomad.)

They don't lose money, but they also don't gain any because people aren't buying VC games. VC is just total profits anyway.

This emulator is still great. Can't wait to see how far it will progress, Lordus is one the best programmers for the DS. I just wish that SNemulDS could get an update one of these days.
