Thanks again for another outstanding emulator, xport.  Anyway, i have not put this emu on my xbox yet, i am currently having ftp problems, i was wondering if saving sega cd games was possible using the ingame save option and the instant save states?  I haven't been able to in the past to save a sega cd game state; when i do the game just freezes up on me.  Is there some special trick to save the game states?

re Aladdin - Plays perfectly fine here, so I have no way of knowing what you're talking about.  Might be a 50/60 hz issue, though.

This is similar to the prob I had in your older versions of genXport- The music in Sonic CD was too fast. I remember a few of us mentioned this and you attempted to fix it but it didn't work for me.

I'd like to know if the genesis/megadrive handled this 50/60hz stuff in software or hardware? I'm guessing if it's software your emu is forcing the game to run faster then what it should.

Maybe it's an idea to only use US roms?

Xport, can you confirm this because it is pretty much usless to play an rpg, such as lunar, for the sega cd if saving states are impossible.

Weird.

I patched it from debug to retail w/ dexbe, and it just freezes now. (this happens from time to time with dexbe...) So next I patched it with xbepatch, and dexbe still shows "debug", not "retail"! I need to burn another disc to see if it works, even though it still says "debug" in dexbe.

I'll save XPort some time and confirm it for you - the source to Gens does NOT support saving states for Sega CD.

So chances are it'll take an update to the Gens core before this is available in any ports of the emulator, whether it's neoGenesis or Xenesis (incidentally - new version due soon guys!)

That said though - backup ram emulation should be fine so those games that save to backup ram should still save with no troubles at all.

Hope that helps

It supports segacd games through samba, but does it support regular genesis games through samba?  It doesnt appear to.  Whenever I try to load a regular genesis game through samba, it sends me to the segacd bios.  It seems silly to want to play regular genesis games through samba since theyre only a few megs, but have a large collection and it can quickly add up (400mb).

Make sure the genesis games end in .smd.  If they are .bin files, NeoGensis automatically thinks its a cd.

re - save states in CDs.  All of what Carcharius said is true.  Backup RAM is functional which was the "normal" way that real Sega CD systems saved games.  You'll have to use that.

re - controller mapping.  As I've said before, if you have played a game previously with GensXPort, then the old mapping will still be laying around on your hard drive and NeoGenesis will try to read that.  This will *only* happen once (at the most) for each game you've already played in GensXPort.  Once you have set the controller mapping for a game, it will be saved and overwrite the old GensXPort mapping.  If you're really hard-up on this issue, then go to E:\SAVES\NEOGENESIS and delete all the *.KEY files in that directory.  Load up NeoGenesis, go to the Controller Configuration from the main menu, set up some defaults, and that's what will be used until the next time you change it (either from the main menu or from within a game.)

The XBE was already XBEPatch-ed.

It reads ROM games across Samba.  Yes, either rename the files from *.BIN to something else or just ZIP up your ROM files.

depending on what version of windows you are using, you can open up a command prompt, "cd" to that directory and do :

ren *.bin *.smd

But try that out on a test directory with 3 or 4 roms before doing the whole thing.

sega cd save states work in the pc version of GENS.

at least on Sonic CD they do.

maybe he didnt have time to put them in?

anyway, great emu.

how do you make the iso + mp3 files back into a single iso for burning. My current iso + mp3s no longer work in this version.

You don't have to combine them for burning. Most burning programs that let you assemble your own disc image lets you mix ISO and MP3 tracks. So, you can do it in Nero, for example.

Easiest way is to get/make a .cue file for burning in CDRWin..
