Hi,

can anyone please tell me on how to name rom files on AtGames Genesis Flashback 2018 with stock 20190226 firmware to be recognized by the device?

I've put the following files onto the SD card in a folder \GAME:

Flashback.md Flashback.md.png Choplifter.sms Choplifter.sms.png

Only Flashback is recognized (however it got truncated to "Flashbac") and without any custom cover images. Any hints (except for flashing to custom firmware, i want the stock one if possible)?

Egon

Genesis games must be copied in .bin format. You can just rename from .md to .bin. If I recall correctly the png file won't be loaded, you will only get the generic cover from SD card.
SMS games won't run from the SD Card with the stock firmware, the menu is hardcoded to only read .bin files. Renaming a .sms file to .bin won't work because the core recognize bin files as Genesis ROMs automatically.

Thank you very much for your response. According to this, i probably will go with your custom firmware - thanks for creating it, makes the system absolutely a dream from what i've read already!

    That Dell data breach is worse than people probably realize....
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I worked for Dell we had access to data about military contracts and addresses for high ranking people.

    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol

    sometimes I wonder why anyone would ever buy mega man x legacy collection 2
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I always thought that capcom shuffled the games in these collection, but apparently they are all in chronological order, which makes legacy collection 2 worthless

    the booty boogie from (once again) the donkey kong country cartoon could also be a good song to sing while playing sea of thieves
