Wow, can't wait to try this. Thanks, Notaz!!
Wow, can't wait to try this. Thanks, Notaz!!
Warning 1.50 users:
The readme says that this just needs to be kxploited to work, but it doesn't. It won't launch and gives the 80020148 ("PRX type unsupported") error, which is the error that usually pops up when running an EBOOT that's been specifically compiled for the newer firmware kernels.
All fixed!
Holy Crap!
When I heard that this was also able to play Sega CD games one game came to mind, SONIC CD! I was so excited over the fact that I could play this great game on the go but I wasn't expecting Notaz to cause me...
...To come to tears. I popped on three games that seem to have problems or not run at all on DGEN 1.7and PSPGenesis 0.18c. Those games were
1) Exile
2) Ex-Mutants
3) Talespin
Tears started to stream down my face once I saw those games running perfectly, no frameskip. God...
And the surprises didn't stop there, almost all the games I have in my Genesis collection ran fine, full speed, no frameskip. Even more so, all my games sounded like they should and actually even better than before (headphones are a must!!!) I was highly impressed and cried most of the night while I played my genesis collection in the form it should have been for years when it came to the PSP, utter perfection! I have one question for you Notaz...
Where the hell have you been?!?
You are in the very league of coding masters when it comes to the PSP alongside the great Exophase.
Dude, don't take this as me being gay because I'm actually married but...
I love you! You truly made my day and bring hope that the PSP scene is nowhere near the end of it's potential. Please, don't become one of those one devs who jump out of the scene once you release a program, keep going! I have no clue what else you could do to this emu you have created to make it more perfect than it already is but you are definitely very very talented in what you do! I'm telling you right now... if you had a paypal account to accept donations, expect an amount with 2 zero's at the end, you have impressed me and I would give you a high donation in order for you to continue your work.
Notaz...
You are my hero!
Thank GOD!
Finally someone made a Sega CD emulator!!! I have been waiting on this for a long time buddy, thanks a million, you are fantastic!
Very polished for a first release!! Very nice compatibility, full speeds, sound is emulated near-flawlessly. Thank you very much again for this, your hard work is much appreciated, and long awaited!
Can anyone say Lunar? Shining Force? Vay? Heart of the Alien(Out of This World?)???
Very nicely done sir.
I was almost in tears reliving some of the glory days...
Thank you very much again.
<Hugs>
great work, thanks for this.
fantastic to see! hopefully Notaz dont stop release stuff for the psp. i havent tried it yet but when i read the comments it seems to be as fantastic as NJs and Exophases emulators!!!
will try it out now =)
HOLY SH*T!
I'm so happy. Downloading now, I can't wait to try out Sonic CD :)
like i said, did you enable the "better sync" option? i know that this game doesn't even run in kega fusion without this option enabledQuote:

Thank you so much for this incredible emu...

I've uploaded a separate version for 1.5 users (see my first post), so if you are running 1.5 version (NOT a cfw compatibility mode), please try and post results.
Before all, thanks Notaz, awesome work
Then, my video showing Road Avenger
http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpsCO2J6BdA
I notice that disabling Z80 it goes a bit better and disabling sound it works near fullspeed ... but RA without sound is not RA
I'll upload a few videos along the day
PD: i'm sorry bout the static (sound) in the video and i forgot to set up volumen until the end !!! DAMMIT!
Im amazed at this news, thank you for stepping up to the plate and imo giving the PSP scene its best release, Usually porters go for quick, easy stuff and the harder things like this get left until the end of the line, which shows who truly deserves praise and you my friend definitely deserve it.
Definetelly the BEST Mega drive - Genesis emulator for the PSP!! 100% my favorite.
vay fails to load after the 1st cutscene after pressing start for me..
i have tried like 20-30 megadrive roms now. ALL OF THEM RUNS 100 % FULL SPEED!! if the Sega CD games runs as good as the megadrive im in heaven :D
this is the best thing that has happened to the psp scene since Dark_Alex let us play psx games!
so this will stay on my memorystick forever =)
thanx so very much Notaz!!! thanx to ppl like YOU, Dark_Alex, Exophase and NJ the psp has become every hardcore gamers wet dream :D
thank you, thank you and thank you :)
this is one of the best ports i have seen if not the best, speed fantastic, screen resizing is amazing
great work, many thanks.
I translated the Readme to spanish
Here
'll upload a Silpheed video later
I HATE YOU WQHY WOULD YOU RELEASE A HALF-FINI...pft!
Awesome release, notaz :D truly. I do remember quite a bit of people saying Sega CD emulation would be impossible, no? (PS don't just say it was only Saturn. My memory sucks but I do remember people saying SCD would NEEEEVER be made.)
For the record, what are some really good non-turn based RPGs for Sega CD?
Great Releas! I've always been a fan of PicoDrive.
Tested Sonic CD. Runs great.
Notaz - infinite thank yous, my friend. :D
This emulator is simply amazing.
All the megadrive games run flawless plus all the CD games I've tried seem spot on. :)
...and people keep saying the psp scene is dead! lol Sega CD, regular new mame builds, the n64 being worked on etc all make me very happy. :)
Very odd... I'm no noob, but can't get this to load any games! Using latest DA CFW on my slim. Put relevant bios in and correct palcement of folders but get "failed to load" message on both CD and Gen games. Grrr... am I the only one??
^^^ you must not have renamed the bios correctly then ??
Take another look at the read me. You must renane the bios to what it says in there, or the emu will not recognize them.
This is a legendary emulator, big thanks to Notaz
Still needs more work?! This is amazing!
The 1.5 version works great.
Thanks for taking the time to get this fantastic emu running for those that still stick with 1.5 (1.5 user, never felt the need to update as homebrew is really all I use PSP for).
Do the changes needed to make it run on 1.5 degrade the performance at all or take much time for you to accomplish? If either is true I guess I should update.
I've only tested Mega Drive games (mostly sonic 2), but this emu is amazing, I don't really know how to quantify things like 'fluidity' and 'crispness', but the games certainly seem far smoother and better defined to me (with default settings). I need a better vocabulary.
Brilliant emulator for the Mega Drive component alone, I will have to get ahold of sonicCD. :)
Thankyou!
EDIT: ROMs work fine from any directory.
EDIT2: Kawasaki superbike challenge (obscure game with kind-of 3d gfx that I loved back when It came out) runs perfectly, your a bloody legend. :)
Holy sshh...
This thing rocks!!
Tested Earthworm Jim Special Edition(sega cd) and works perfectly with minor slowdowns!!! Shrunk Bin file of my coppy to 45MB!!!OOOOOOOOOOO!
Much thanx to Notaz for ported this!!!
so, i have tried like 30+ megadrive games now and they all work 100 % perfect! =)
i have tried some sega cd games now too:
After burner iii (US) Set to Frameskip 1 since fast render seems to bug the graphics up.. very playable! not my favorite game though ;)
Android assault (US) set to Fast render and then no frameskip is needed. the game is my darling that all shoot em up fans has to play! set the scale factor to 1.25 so it fits the psp screen better!
Keio's flying squadron (US) Set to Fast render and then no frameskip is needed. set the scale factor to 1.25 so it fits the psp screen better! very, very nice cutie old school shooter.
lords of thunder (US) Almost full speed. set to Fast render and it will be. no frameskip is needed. great game. too bad the sound from the weapons is to loudy and the music to silent..
robo aleste (EU) Almost full speed all the time. set to fast render to have 100 % full speed! cool hi res shooter =)
Slipheed (EU) fast render mode distrubs the graphics very much. the audio is a bit glitchy. it wont help set frameskip to 1.
my scale factor: 1.32
very innovtive shooter.
sonic the hedgehog cd (US) nice sonic game. Set to Fast render and then no frameskip is needed. the game is perfectly emulated then. but the psp screen isnt good enough sometimes for this game (when sonic is in a hurry)
thanx so very much notaz. this emu will give us all many many hours of gaming on the psp :D
No, the code is completely the same, and it's only a matter of changing one build option (to make a little different EBOOT), so no trouble at all.Quote:

Sorry for doubting you notaz. Great work!
Cheers
The Bios work just fine for me on their own and are named to match the readme... any other ideas, people?
Good to hear, thanks for compiling both.Quote:
