SEGA Games on Emulators?

[MTwinny]

Like what the thread title says, any of you guys play SEGA games on emulators? If so what games and what emulators? My brother usually plays a couple, depending on emulator.

I did when I was in college, due to strict parenting...and for the lovely romhacks, but now I have a Capture Card and several systems there's no need. I highly discourage it and its questionable legality....they don't work as well as the real deal anyway.

 

To answer the question - only for ROMhacks.

[AcidGamer64]

Depends on the game really, I really only get hacks for my emulator, so I don't think there is anything wrong with that.

Shadow The Hedgehog.

[AcidGamer64]

How well does it run on your PC Luke?

[Luke]

It works fine, just slow at some parts. Why are you wondering?

[AcidGamer64]

Cause regularly it runs very slow.

Speaking of emulators. I'm wondering if it would be at all possible to convert Sonic Before the Sequel into a MegaDrive ROM? I'd imagine the music would need to be compressed in order to make it fit, but I've been toying with the idea lately. I'd love for some way to play these games on an actual MegaDrive/Genesis.

 

If you buy one of those cheap knock offs you see occasionally like the handheld version, they actually include an SD card slot for you to load ROM's onto and play it that way. Could be worth a shot. :3

Unfortunately LakeFepard's games are built with Multimedia Fusion 2. The program limits you on what you can release your games on compared to the bigger development programs.

 

You can produce your games as regular windows .exe's, iOS app's, or flash file's to play on the web. If there's a way for the MegaDrive/Genesis to run flash files, then it may be possible.

 

This is definitely something worth looking into. Great idea Lhancat. It could push the fan-gaming scene forward.

Yeah. Like the cutscenes, they're way off. The cutscene's audio will finish before the cutscene is over

Weird. How do you even get used to that?

[Luke]

I don't know actually. XD

Maybe because there's nothing I can do about it.

I have Michael Jackson's Moonwalker.

Oh cool! That game was pretty funny to play.

[JPunxR]

I only heard about MJ Moonwalker because of BrainScratchComms xD

I had a sweet genesis emulator on my Windows laptop before it died on me. Luckly, I do get some emulator use out of my Mac. I found Genesis Plus and it works fine. I moslty play rom hacks and Knuckles Chaotix, though I haven't tried KC on the Mac emulator yet.

[JPunxR]

Somewhat on topic:
Wait?! So you are able to play Kunx Chaotix?!
You can record it for the YT channel! :3

[Abominal Taz]

I could. I might have to bump that emulator up with proper drivers to do so.

[Luke]

Might download Sonic Advance.

[AcidGamer64]

Might download Sonic Advance.

Then, go for Sonic Advance 3. Cause, Sonic Advance 3 is amazing. If you don't get it. I will be confused.

Sonic Advance 3 is amazing. It's like Knuckles Chaotix's sequel and Sonic Heroes' little cooler brother.

Just like the people here, I only use emulators only for hacks. Nowadays, you can (almost) everything cheap. I once found Sonic 1 for 5 bucks.

5 bucks? I'll take that any day!

I found Sonic 3, boxed with Manual and all, for $3. That was unexpectedly awesome.
