Genesis Roms

[jxx2005]

i know this might be a dodgey subject
but

i have a couple genesis roms that are .gen file format
and it seems DGEN (psp genesis emulator) doesnt support them
is there a way i could convert them?


(i own the games of the roms i have so its all good)

I don't think .gen files can be converted. Have you tried them with PicoDrive?

UPDATE
picodrive will play the roms
and quite well i might add
near perfect

Just for completeness, rename the files like so.

Somegame.gen -> Somegame.bin

ta-da converted.

[jxx2005]

changing the file name wont change the encryption
files made differently, using different methods

[jamotto]

There are only three different format types for genesis rom's that I know of, they are bin, smd and md. If you open up the .gen file in an hex editor you should see that it is in fact a bin file.
