Can you port Genesis game to SNES?

Anything DreamSNES-related can be asked in this forum, such as general questions about the emulator, how to burn it, etc.

Can you port Genesis game to SNES?

Post by scooterinab »

This might sound like a really dumb question, but there are a hand full of Genesis roms that I'd like to play through my Dreamcast, and I don;t really want to burn a disc just for them.

So the question is, is there a way to port the rom to SNES, so that I can add it to me DreamSNES disc?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Short answer: No.

Long answer: The SNES and Genesis are completely different. You could remake the game on the SNES (sometimes - some Genesis games would be virtually impossible on a SNES, and some SNES games would be virtually impossible on a Genesis), which would require rewriting the game from scratch. You can not simply convert from one to the other.

Interesting. I didn't know you could burn multiple emus onto one disc.

How do I use it with DreamSNES?

"Gone" from a message board is only so true.

But yes, remotely legal ways to play Genesis games on your DC are hard to come by.
