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

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.
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..
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.
what are some really good games for sega cd? the only game i have thats worth getting was the sega classic collection
got it to work!
it was something weird.
I had to put the "snatcher" rom directory in my root game150 folder.
works FLAWLESSLY AWESOME JOB nak!!!!

If you like a REALLY tough platformer, Shadow of the Beast II is available for the SEGA CD.
I never got into "FMV" games, but many people enjoy them. The most popular is probably Sewer Shark.
Hi , i'm pretty new to this emulation scene , kinda noob to ask this question but what is a bios and how can i get my hand on one of those ?
Couldn't get my sega CD games to work , looking forward to playing Final Fight and Shining Force.
Greatly appreciate it if someone could give me a clue =D
BIOS is an acronym for Basic Input Output System.
Its the small amount of software that is stored on a chip (firmware) to put the hardware in a state that allows other software (the programs you actually want to use the hardware for, IE games on a mega-cd) to run. It gives them a way of identifying and 'talking to' the hardware.
I cannot link you to the files, but if you were to download a mega-cd emulator for the pc from a torrent site, I would say you would almost certainly get the BIOS files included.
The readme included with the emulator tells you how they must be named (they will probably already be correctly named so you can just copy them over).
Hey bah ..
Thanks alot for the prompt reply , i do just that .
C'ya abt =D
I suppose it´s a bug:
I can´t use key combination start+L and start+R for save/load. Only load with both combinations. It works with default L - R buttons, but i need L - R for 6 button pad.
Any solution? Thx in advance.
Ive Just Joined The Forum.
Thanks for download and the info from other users. Cant wait to use it
you wont be dissapointed KashP! but use the latest version of Picodrive if you want better Sega CD support! =)
Picodrive 1.40b, the most recent version I know of.

It'll be a while before you get 32x working buddie. Drivers have NOT been implemented into the emu yet. Hopefully someday.
I'm running the latest version of Picodrive on my PSP, but it can't quite handle Sonic The Hedgehog. When the background is scrolling around fast, it's jerky instead of smooth. Anyone else notice this, or is it just me? And, if this is a known problem, can it be fixed with a later update?
i remember when pico was on ds but had no sound wished the work on a wii version would happen, i love segacd but dont have a psp or gamepark i work hard but my money goes to bills so i rarley can afford other systems, pico was a good emu very much on ds as good as the other that was released on ds i slightyly liked its loding screen better even though it had no sound. but great work on this emu keep it up.
f8ck yeah... im gunna play some vector man!
totally awesome dude playing "Shining Force CD" right now and working on getting the music to work..
EDIT: Just ripped the music off the CD Image and then renamed them accordingly and it works great! I now have Shining Force CD working 100% fine with default settings and just 10 mins of converting/renaming.
Very happy now I don't have to use the PC to play this version of Shining Force..
Cheers!
Oh duh.
That was simple.
SF:CD works AMAZING! Fantastic.
