Newb question about roms in genplus

Post by alex3540 »

Hey guys just stumbled across this page last week and have been fooling around with my dreamcast ever since, great site with loads of info!

Ok so my problem, im using genplus the preview version, i got it on a cd and it boots fine but i dont know how to load my roms. The main menu treats them as directories i think. they are in .gen format. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks guys.

dunno about .gen format. I think they should be .bin or .smd, You may need to convert the roms somehow.

Change the extensions to .bin or .smd, then zip them up. Make sure your ROMs are (U) or (W) versions as well, GenesisPlusDC doesn't like (J) and (E) ROMs. GoodGen will rename all your ROMs with a few keystrokes.
