Hi all
noob here:confused:
which folder do I put the files in? what type of ROM files do need?
I recently downgraded back to my original 1.50 from 2.60, and I find now that DGEN doesnt load any roms at all, no matter the what version(and I've tried them all). :(
Other hombrew emus work fine, but DGEN just refuses to load!
If you were using 1.0 eBoots for use with the eLoader you will have to convert or download the 1.5 version of the emulator. Then it should work fine.Quote:

you put it in Psp\Game and you need .smd or .bin filesQuote:

But i found a good rom site which has the correct roms :D
Excellent work.One problem though some of my favourite games like revenge of shinobi dont run smooth anymore so i have gone back to 1.6.I think its pushing the processor to much
Damn it! Wonder Boy in Monster world STILL WONT WORK!! Grrr.. has anyone got a save state for this just after the title screen? I really wanna play
EDIT ::: Well.. no worries, It runs fine on PSP Genesis with save states. :D
does anyone know if this comes with adhoc support? if it does could you please tell me how to make it work?
It comes with adhoc. You just have to load the emu with 2 PSPs, same rom. Then one of the players have to pick the 1P (adhoc) option, and the other one 2P (adhoc) one. The first one will be the first player and the other the second ;)
It isn´t that hard.
This version of DGEN is so much better than the last. Now I can just run Sonic 3 and Knuckles with no lagging! :)
Just downloaded this emu, in the process of getting roms for it now. Does anyone know if this will play Vectorman and/or Vectorman II? Otherwise, it looks like a sweet emu.
Now if we could only get this speed out of SNES emus.....
SNES TYL 0.42 ME is faster than this. Most SNES games run full speed without any frame skipping at all, but a lot of games still need frameskipping to run full speed with DGen.Quote:

Although, I am having trouble with DGen. Like I said, I'm running a 2.71 PSP with eLoader 0.99 everything seems to run except DGen. Is it using kernal mode that won't run in this eLoader? I thought I saw a post earlier that someone was running this in 2.71 with no issues. Any advice on how I can get this done would be appreciated.
Oh, btw, the emu doesn't even load, crashes the eLoader.
Thanks
they might have 2.71SE
u might wanna think about downgrading to 1.5 and upgrade to 2.71SE-C (much better in my opinion)
DGen won't run in user mode (eLoader) after verson 1.4.
What can 2.71SE-C do that 1.50 can't?Quote:

also on this release i get delays in Revenge of Shinobi.
the game was buggy before - when hit, instead of flashing you would actually go invisible (to player not computer) - but now there are serious lag issues. i have played with all settings but it persists.
i know it was playing fine on 1.6 and i dont want to have 2 dgens on for different games.
Do you happen to know where I can aquire the 2.71SE-C from?Quote:

Since late 2005 I'd been using PSP Genesis but heard a lot of good things about DGen so I installed 1.70 last night. So far I like it alot, beautiful emu, video/speed definitely seems improved over PSPGenesis with great presentation as well. But my Rockman Megaworld/Wily Wars and Contra Hard Corps will not run (both ran fine on PSP Genesis), and I've tried several different roms from another source. Anyone else have issues running either title on DGen?
edit: 3 different roms now for each from at least two different sources now and DGen still will not run them. When trying to boot either Wily Wars or Contra, it just goes to a black screen on the view window. In the process I also discovered DGen will not run the Genny rev of Sparkster, just goes to a screen with region info and a message from whoever dumped the rom. Looks like I'll keep my PSPGenesis for these and any other odd games that won't work.
Contra - Hard Corps is working fine for me in V 1.70
Try to mess around with Settings->Country priority and choose the first priority what country your game is from (i guess it's a (U)=USA version).
I don't have Rockman, but i guess DGen is absolute superior to PSPGenesis since V 1.30
Hi guys
Just a quick question to which I have not been able to find an answer.
Basically are there any PSP Emu's that play the Sega Genesis 32X games.... or are we restricted to megadrive/genesis games only??
Thanks in advance
YNWA2006: There is no support for 32X or Sega CD on the PSP (as far as I know)
Dylan1CC: I kept hearing that Dgen was the best, so I never bothered trying any of the other emulators. It works just great for most of my games, but the only one I ever REALLY want to play (Revenge of Shinobi) is pretty slow and almost unplayable in it. But after reading your post, I downloaded PSPGenesis and gave it a shot. Wow, much better. Still just a bit slow, but at least it's playable now. Thanks for the heads up.
O-bake: Thanks for the info but I already tried the country priority setting and they still would not load. And again, bear in mind I used several different roms for each game from several different sources.
b8a: Glad PSPGenesis is working well for you. It's a very good emu, it'd be great if the author released some more updates for it.
Now, more issues to report with DGen. Last night I gave Earthworm Jim and Gunstar Heroes a spin.
In GH there is very noticeable slowdown and frame rate drops. As an example, I was playing stage 1 and was surrounded by baddies. So, of course I did the jump/dive move to evade them. As my guy was flying through the air/landing the animation slowed and became quite choppy. While sliding down the pyramid/slope, my character disappeared a few times.
In EJ, getting hit by an enemy will cause your character sprite to completely disappear for several moments at a time which literally gives you an invisible Jim firing his gun out of thin air. I have never experienced either issue when playing these games with PSPGenesis.
edit: To clarify, I am using PSPGenesis 18c and all the games I just discussed run very well. GSH and Earthworm Jim both seem to run in full speed none of the mentioned issues.
That's because most games use sprite flickering after you get hit (I.E. they only draw the sprite every other frame). If you are using frameskipping and the frames being skipped are the same as the frames where the sprite is being displayed then you won't see the character sprite until the effect stops. The only way to avoid this is if the emulator supports random/automatic frame skipping (which I dont think DGen does).Quote:

All my old roms load, no flickering, no disappearing sprites and even the busiest games such as Gunstar Heroes run full speed. DGen is completely overhyped.Quote:

Its not like most games need it to run full speed either.
No I didn't use DGen's frame skip at all. I never touch frame skip when I use an emulator because the way I see it, if it's a good emulator it should automatically run the games as close to they are on TV/console without having to mess with some setting in the menu. Last night I also tried Thunderforce 3 and the ship kept disappearing. Very lame.Quote:

Hmm, Dylan1CC, I think there may be a problem with your games. I highly doubt that DGen is overhyped because it runs my games flawlessly.
After I read your post, I went back and checked my copy of Gunstar Heroes. Perfect. I didn't even mess around with the settings at all and I had no problems, not even the ones you mentioned. I also retried Revenge of Shinobi once more, this time trying it with all of the different region priority settings. I could've sworn I had already tried them all in the past, but this time I found one that runs it the same speed as PSPGenesis, but smoother.
So, as of now, DGen is back to being my top --and only-- pick for Genesis emulation. Quite honestly, while PSPGenesis was impressive (especially for such an old release), it stuttered a lot.
DGen is not over-hyped.
It runs the vast majority of games better than PSPGenesis.
Its a quality emulator, if you're not capable of changing 1 or 2 settings in the menu occasionally thats certainly not something to criticize the emulator over.
You're free to use whatever emulator you want, the authors created them and asked nothing in return. No need to put down someones hard work, especially when many others clearly do not have the issues you do.
If you are too stupid/lazy that you can't even change one option in the menu to fix your problem then that's fine (albeit pretty pathetic), but youo should be forewarned that if you are using frameskipping in PSPGenesis you will most likely have the same problem with sprites disappearing. (And if frameskipping is disabled by default then most games will only get 30-40 fps at best.)Quote:

is there a way to get this working on 3.10 oe?? thanks
Just put the emulator folder in the PSP/GAME150 folder and it should work. If it doesn't work, try the GAME folder instead.
Awesome! Great release, glad there is sound too. Been looking for this for days. :D Thanks!!!
I'm on firmware 1.5 btw
MT11 put the dgen and %dgen (or whatever it is) in your game folder, put your roms there too. And then try the emulator out it should work. Does anyone know if Dgen is going to be exteneded to another release or was this it?
