Is there Sega Genesis Emulator for Dreamcast?

Breath Of Fire II · Post by **Breath Of Fire II** » Fri Jun 21, 2002 8:06 pm

Hey guys, as you can see I'm a newbie here (not a dummy one either) who's just beginning to burn games for my beloved DC.

So my question is, is there any well functioning emulator for DC that I could use with "Dreamcast Factory" software? If so... could you please direct me where to get it?

You could try looking at http://www.dcemulation.org

Hope that helps!

NesterDC, SMEG, and StellaDC function very well and can be downloaded right from DCFActory.

I'm answering to the question in the title.
The Genesis emulators are not in this site. There are two, one homebrew and one hack. The homebrew, i think, was removed by request of the author. The hack of DC SmashPack is considered as WAREZ by the site.
Try looking for them at GOOGLE.
I don't know if the hack of DC SmashPack can be used with DC factory but it works fine with the Utopia Boot disc.

To clear things up.

Genesis Emulators.
There is a the official Sega Smash pack, which is a retail emulator, and you have to purchase.
There is a hack of the Sega Smash Pack, which is illegal and will never be hosted on this site, and no one will give you links to.
There is one still in the works I belive, allthough I havent heard from ATani, the author, for a while, It is called DCGenerator, there was an update not too long ago which fixed many bugs within it.Check on the DCEmu home page for this.

Emulators which can be burned with DCF
If you simply gohere to download DCF, allthough I belive you already have it, make sure you have all available scripts, they are all the emulators possible to be made using this wonderful program.

Be sure to ask any more questions around the site, most people are friendly and willing to help. Welcome to the boards aswell.

the hacked one is just a port of kgen that sega bought

so its 100% perfect speed but the sound is not that good its ok

the home brew one is really bad it flickers and crashes more times then it works and theres no sound

you got only one to look for and its hard to get to work if your a new person also its a warez hack and you cant ask for it on this board

if you want help email reaper_angel@hotmail.com

The PC Sega Smash Pack is, but the DC one was written from scratch by Sega.

Dc Gen is great, there is just the flickering problem.

Crt0 is working on a megadrive (genesis in europe - since ur a newbie

) emu as well - he's making one from scratch rather than proting so if you wanted you could wait for that - or you could choose my favourite:

Genesis 3 doesn't work with some games because it's missing a chip thats in the orginal genesis.

But you're right, the hacked smash pack runs gensis the best. It's too abd there isn't a legal homebrew version that does the same.

It was the Mega Drive in Europe (and Japan) and the Genesis in America, not the other way around

.

I think it was called Mega Drive in Japan aswell....why did they change the name around for different regions?

You misinterpreted him - He means "MegaDrive is the Genesis, in Europe"

The name was changed in the US because someone already owned a trademark on the word "megadrive"...

I noticed that after I posted... oh well.

And about the Genesis 3 lacking a certain chip - it will still play over 99% of games. It won't work with Virtua Racing, the MegaCD, the 32X, Action Replay or the Gamegear/SMS (whichever it was) adaptor.

The Genesis3 has every chip that a standard Genesis does. The differences are that the video hardware lacks SMS compatability mode (which is why the SMS converter doesn't work), and there appear to be some connectors missing, both for the CD and the cartridge slot, so games that use custom chips don't work (Virtua Racing, the 32X, Action Replay).

I read somewhere that it had no Z80 coprocessor. If that were true, there would be no sound/music on 99% of games, and most of them wouldn't even boot. I think it was reported as 'missing' because there is no chip labeled 'Z80' on the motherboard - it's actually built into the 68K CPU, probably to make it smaller. My PAL MegaDrive 2 works perfectly with everything I've tried, except the SMS converter. I had to take a hacksaw to the thingy at the back. As long as you didn;t touch it, it worked perfectly.
