Title: Question About Neogenesis And Fceu
Post by: zot23 on June 18, 2004, 09:33:00 AM

Two questions, don't think either of these is illegal (please let me know if it is though and I'll edit.)

For FCE Ultra, I have something like 11K files to go in the ROMs area.  Can I put this many in there, or will that crash the emulator/xbox trying to keep track of that many files?  If it's too much, can I split the ROMs directory into folders and get the emulator to recognize those files inside?

For NeoGenesis, I have a great big ISO on a DVD disc.  It sees this fine, but if I ftp that ISO to the HDD, it doesn't read it anymore.  Do I have to do something else to it, or make a conversion of some kind?

Sorry if these are n00b topics, many thanks (tried searching on forum, but the search feature seems to be down.)

Just sort your nes roms with GoodNes and use the Dirs option,
this will put all your roms in specific dirs (USA/JAP/HACKED/etc)

it makes for easier browsing and it overcomes any(ifthereareany)
problems the xbox would have with too many files.

and you just have Fce Ultra point to your rom dir, when you want to select your
game you'll then see the dirs and you can just browse all you want.

Ah cool.  I tried a test where I placed a ROM in a folder called "test" in the ROM area, but although it saw the folder it would not browse into it.  I suppose if they were named correctly FCEU would know what to do.  If nothing else, I only want the USA files, so I can run Goodnes and ignore the others.

Do you know anything about the NeoGenesis ISO thing Vamp?

Thanks for the reply, appreciate it.

death-

It's one jolly great ISO file (talking 2.6 GB or so) that has seemingly all the Genesis files in it.  When I use the emulator and disc is in the DVD drive (with ISO on it), I can look through and load files.  But if I put that ISO on the HDD, NeoGenesis just sees it as a file, not a directory anymore.

Extract the files out of the ISO, (WinISO).
