Picodrive error

Postby Chareng » Sat Jul 29, 2017 12:21 pm

I would appreciate any help, this is my first attempt at retro gaming. I can get Atari to work but not genesis or nintendo. I have a 16gb shield with samsung t3 ssd 250gb drive. I am a newbie and would appreciate any help, im really frustrated. Thank you

Would it be possible to use Genesis Plus GX for Genesis instead of PicoDrive? I know PicoDrive add 32X support, but Genesis Plus GX has a better sound.

I didn't realize about that. It could be an option.
What game can I test where the sound difference is noticeable?

Ok, now this is really nitpicky, but here I come xD

On Sonic 3, if you start a Blue Spheres special stage, the first blue sphere you get sounds different. Then everything is normal until you turn 90degrees, and when you do, the first sphere sounds weird again.

That's the only thing I've noticed, but I haven't had much time to test many Genesis games. Oh yes! Also, the game (Sonic 3) music suddenly stopped after completing the special stage. I could play normally, but music wasn't playing. Haven't ever seen that.

Sounds good :) If it helps, Genesis plus gx is usually praised as the best emulator, while Picodrive is mainly used for its 32x support, so maybe, instead of adding a new option, it's better to just set Genesis plus gx for Genesis and Sega CD, and Picodrive just for 32x.

Actually, the less options the better, as it's one of Retroarch's worst things (too many parameters).

Just tried Comix Zone and many sounds are definitely wrong. I'd strongly recommend using only Genesis Plus GX for Mega Drive and CD, and Picodrive for 32x ;)

Is there any estimated new release date? If so, what features are coming?
