I'm so glad they borrowed some code from the Wii homebrew! The Wii's homebrew and emulating scene is just amazing! I've been hacking and modding Wiis since 2007 :) I like how fast the PS3 is unfolding.

For the people having lock ups are you putting your External on the far right USB slot? That might help.

Mednafen has been around for a couple months now, and though simple, seems to work plenty well for Genesis at least. Is the base for this a better emu to begin with? Why do it otherwise?

Make sure that you have the "genplus" folder that you extract as one folder. Do not take the 4 folders (bios, roms, sram, state) out of that one. From there place the "genplus" folder on the root of your external HDD and make sure it is plugged into the last USB slot on the right. Place your roms in the roms folder, throw the .pkg file on to your USB stick and install it. Should run fine. I ran into the problem when I took the 4 folders out of the "genplus" folder, I was then presented with the same error you are having. Works great now :D

I get the same thing (GENESISPLUS TEST 201. 18495 FPS). If you press down you can change the numbers then it freezes and hard reset is needed. I'm on 3.41. Maybe something to do with usb folder structure. I couldn't understand it so I tried and few different variations. Instruction need to be clearer. Thanks though to the dev.

I have the exact same problem. roms folder, nothing inside. usb on the far right. have all the roms, ending in .gen. rom folder shows as empty on the ps3. I'm going to try to throw some with a different extension on.

# clayjitsu 2010-12-26 08:44
the manual does specifically say "This is a Sega Mega Drive / Genesis only emulator: therefore, it requires suitable ROM images in the form of .bin, .gen, .md or .smd files. "

hey guys just got mine working finally!!!(this is using an external HDD) k, do like mentioned above, extract all the files to the usb stick or external hdd, run the pkg. when you boot the emu up, notice in the top left corner the 2 little red dots?(..) just keep pressing X until you get to a menu that has "app_home, dev_flash etc and go down to "dev_usb000" and press X. from here just got to your roms folder and you're set ;) hell, it doesnt even have to say roms, tested it in a folder i have named "SEGA" and it works fine! hope this helps fellas! cheers
