Are you on custom firmware? CFW is needed to play all homebrew.

**No_one_in_particular** · January 8th, 2008, 02:15

Yep. Basically have you made any efforts to change its firmware (besides Sony's Network Update)?

I love this emulator, well done man. Much better than DGEN.

I have but one request!! My all-time favourite Genesis game "Rings of Power" doesn't work, it just crashes the emulator completely. I've tried a variety of dumps, some just stay on a black screen but most just full crash and you have to power cycle! Please fix this pretty pleaseeeeeeeee

edit- running 3.71-m33-4 on a PSP slim

Wowowow I didn't know 1.35b was out, I upgraded and it fixed it!! The best part is the native save actually works! No other emulator does this (including PC emulators like Gens and Xmess). Great job, man!

Only game I can find that doesn't work is "Rolo to the Rescue". Great game, I hope you get it working in a later update. Thanks again.

Ah, James Pond 3 is broken to, I think it uses the same engine as Rolo to the Rescue actually, so makes sense I guess.

I can't figure out how to run iso's.

I have 1.35b installed on 3.52 M33 custom firware

BIOS is us_scd1_9210.bin and in the proper directory.

I want to play Snatcher. I have Snatcher.iso and all the mp3's (starting with Snatcher_02.mp3 _03...etc)

Picodrive launches fine, i can even test the BIOS.

But when i pick the snatcher DIR, it just says failed to open ROM.

Any ideas?
I'm digging for my sonic CD game to rule out a bad ISO

Hey, sonic cd works fine here, and make sure that all your files are named correctly, your bios'es are named correctly. Also, try using all the bios. It may be your iso, keep that in mind.

I think if it says failed to open rom then it is a bad iso.

**musick** · January 26th, 2008, 02:57

Ive ripped my own games that work on my old segacd unit.
I'm used to dealing with cd images.

I can not run an iso on this emulator, dont know why.

The BIOS's run fine, it just "failed to load ROM" when I click on snatcher.iso

read the readme 10 times now, renamed all the files a few times to make sure.

Thanks for the emulator, I just can't figure this out...these isos also run fine on PC emulators..

**musick** · January 26th, 2008, 03:14

I want to confirm that with the same BIOS and iso + mp3 files they run perfect on 3 different PC emulators.

3.52 m33 custom firmware

1.35.

Tests BIOS's fine (i see the sega cd and can even get to the menu and eject, etc)

when I go to run the ROM file it just fails.

are long file names a problem?

is Snatcher (T-95035)(U)(00).iso too long?

so I have Snatcher (T-95035)(U)(00).iso and
Snatcher (T-95035)(U)(00)_02.mp3
Snatcher (T-95035)(U)(00)_03.mp3

etc all the way to

Snatcher (T-95035)(U)(00)_22.mp3

man if i get this working I will love whoever helps me.

I run all other emulators on my firmware just fine..

thanks guys.
