Gens 1.80

[Lynk]

I'm trying to use Gens 1.80 to run Lunar: The Silver Star, but it freezes up after the intro movie. If I try to skip the movie it freezes anyway. It shouldn't be my computer because it runs Lunar 2 near-perfect. Would BIOS matter?

i have no idea what would cause your problem but i feel your pain.
having lunar in your possesion and not being able to play it can be rough http://www.emuxhaven.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cwm2.gif

does it do that with any other emulators? mabe u should scan your roms with GoodGEN

[brightman]

Umm... RJ... Lunar is a SegaCD game, so it doesn't use roms.

Anyway, Gens should support it, maybe try using Kega to see if it's some configuration problem or soemthing.

[brightman]

Oh BTW, are you using ISO+mp3? If you are MAKE SURE all mp3s are there and fully functional and named correctly, because any missing mp3 means a freeze after intro screen.

lol... Yeah I almost made the same mistake too, then I took a second look and then i realized. Anyway, Gens can play both Genesis/Megadrive games and SegaCD/MegaCD games.

[Lynk]

Thanks, I'll be more specific next time.

I'm running it off the actual CD. It's pretty scratched up though. I have yet to try &nbsp;scratch remover on it but I think I will. &nbsp; &nbsp;http://www.emuxhaven.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cwm40.gif

[brightman]

OK, yeah, that might be the reason. Also you should run the correct regional BIOS on it. For example the US BIOS on a US CD, Europe BIOS on the Europe CD and whatever. It's best if you have all three bios.

[Lynk]

It's a US CD, I'm using us_scd1_9210.bin BIOS. I cleaned it and the only difference it made was now it's a lot more blinding. What other emus are decent at Sega CD? I could try one.

[emuxhaven]

you could try Kega http://www.emuxhaven.net/sgemu.html

It's a great new Sega Master System, Game Gear, Genesis/Megadrive and SegaCD/MegaCD Emulator and has good compatibility with Sega CD .

[brightman]

Yup, Kega as I said before you can use. Its compatibility is as good as Gens' but it doesn't have as many features.

[Lynk]

It seems to work fine on Kega, but I still don't know why Gens didn't work. So thanks.

On another note, how is it that PS emus can use save-states, and Sega CD can't apparently?
