Best Genesis/Mega Drive emulator for DC?

This forum is for discussion pertaining to homebrew and indie software for the Dreamcast, such as homebrew games, emulators/interpreters, and other homebrew software/applications. Porting requests and developmental ideas are not to be made here; you can make those here. If you need any help burning discs for homebrew software, this is the place to ask as well.

BlackAura:yeah I think you used enough DAC in your post :P


I am probably going to make another disc with shorter rom names and short names on the list. some game that I really wanted to try had a messed up name like "isky woods.smd Risky woods" lol. I fogot how much of a bitch streets of rage 3 is! I got to the samurai boss at the end of stage 4 (?) and he whooped my @$$ with that stupid jump slash move he does >_<. but its cool if you hold B down after defeating shiva you can play as him on your next continue! Shiva owns........ sorry a little off topic. Keep up the great work,team!

My PS4 works just fine, just set your region to US (unless you have the jap version)

I just tried burning with BA's latest update and all it did was reset itself. Where is the bin supposed to be replaced at the Emus folder or the first read bin in the inducer folder?

Update:
Figured it out, however so far the Star series doesn't seems to work all that well. In PS2 after Rolf leaves the house and goes to the town center the game stops. Then again this is still a beta test and hopefully that problem will be fixed. Other than this little problem all seems pretty good with GPDC.

I'm just guessing: You have to replace the bin of this file http://homepage.ntlworld.com/ian_edward ... 090406.sbi with the bin inside this zip http://files.frashii.com/~sp00nz/Doom/f ... 060726.zip

Or maybe wait for christuserloeser shows up anytime with the compilation ready-to-burn

It is pretty simple actually...


You download any of the .sbi releases, then run sbi and let it place the files in the inducer folder. Then take the BIN from Blackaura and place it over the BIN in the emu folder of the Inducer folder. You'll have to rename Blackauras BIN to GPWT.BIN. It really isn't that hard.

the roms with filenames messed that you said, work perfect in genesis plus? because i have filenames larges too, but up to 32 chars... some emulators dont run games with filenames too large, is genesis plus one of them?

I didn't use sbinducer to create the file, I used bootdreams and after I replaced the bin it had to scramble the bin to create the cdi image. The end result was still the same though, it stopped playing after Rolf went into the town center, otherwise its simply remarkable.

Still speaking about ROM files, does the emulator support zipped .bin and .smd ROMS?

GUYS! Use underscores instead of spaces! :P You're gonna have to rename your roms so that there's no spaces and then you won't get garbled rom names when selecting a game. And yes. Zipped roms DO work. Has anyone gotten Gunstar Heroes or Yu Yu Hakusho working?

Try Bare Knuckle III. It's the original version of Streets Rage 3. BK3 is about twice as good as SoR 3 :)


Edit: I typed "BK4" instead of "BK3".. .Doh!

if the entire file name is too long it wont load the roms for instace say you wanted to play "dinosaurs for hire* you would type the name of the rom (dino4hire.smd or .zip) you would then type the name of the file you want it named like "Dinohire" or something, if you were to let it be Dinosaurs for hire, it would appear like this in GP "saurs4hire.smd Dinosuar" something like that so it would be wise to shorten both the rom name what it will appear as in GP. hope that makes sense.

Gunstar Heroes makes the emulator freeze RIGHT before the level starts under C68K mode. It works with FAME, but the music is too fast! Any ideas?

well at least you don't have a problem with converting programs, if it wasn't for fackues help I would still be sitting here annoying everyone about how I couldn't play it. I have to use Alcohol to burn because cd recordthats on Bootdreams freezes after the part it says "wanting for user burner to (blah can't remember) and then it hangs. so once I make the Disc jugglar image and not knowing how to do the romlist thing, I made 5 coasters. I mean the emu booted but the roms didn't. I hope you got it working. also bootdreams 1.0 was being used but that uses bin2boot to convert images. whats strange is I never had a problem with bin2boot.oh well I got genesis goodness now, so I am not complaining.

You should really specify to only post results of a single release of this there, because if not the chart will be muddled with lots of false reports from all over.
