Regarding Sega CD games, what formats will work? I tried Wonder Dog as a BIN/CUE, and that was fine, but how about ISOs? Can it handle WAV and MP3 files for the soundtracks?

Kind of odd how some Sega CD games online have the data and music all in one file, while others don't.

@bubble2k16 Hey! Love your work on all of your emulators! I have a few questions!

Does this support .32x files?

Will it in the future?

Is it possible that game gear emulation could be added?

Any chance of you reworking any other emulators from retroarch like neo geo , csp1 + 2, etc.?

I think there are converters which change Game Gear ROMs into Master System ROMs. Might be something to look into if you're desperate to play those games.

Yes 32x will be supported because it's already available in PicoDrive. By the dynarec is not yet tested thoroughly for this build.

The complete set of codes weren't committed to Github previously. I've just pushed the latest complete codes, so you can compile and try again. :)

Hmm... Separate MP3/ISO seems supported in PicoDrive. But I haven't tried it in this port... and even if it does, I expect it to only work smoothly for the New 3DS. I think that the Old 3DS may not have enough juice to decode MP3.

I tested it with Thunder Force IV and it actually sounds really, really fucking good. I like that low pass filtering is present, and an option for the games that are dependent on it, and the games that were made without it. Speed is pretty good too. Thunder Force IV tends to cause a bit of slowdown on emulators for less powerful consoles, but it was pretty damn smooth here.

I really, really like this emulator.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
