@tommyellas Please read the forum's rules - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2/forum-rules, there's no ROM/bios/games sharing.

Very similar to my build (including the Mayflash), although I cut some grooves in the expansion slot to add some USB ports.

I wired the reset and power button to work as well, using a coupleof trimmed microswitches and GPIO pins, think I used the 'PiGirl' script to add them easily, then set the reset button as an exit emulator option, as I just couldn't configure that with a standard Mega Drive controller.

@mitu Ok, thanks

Nevermind, I got it working. You have to choose the fbalpha neocd option before loading. Also, it looks like it doesn't have chd support and no cd music..which was the point of using this. Thanks anyways. Back to lr-mess.

Bumping this, might help clarify matters for several other GPGX users!

ekeeke replied to me about this, explaining the following regarding the new MAME sound engines:

*ASIC version corresponds to the chip model used in later Model 1 consoles and most Model 2 consoles. It features the better (not distorded and less noisy) DAC output and full address decoding of status register (which causes slower music in Hellfire since it was developed for the discrete chip version) compared to discrete chip version.

Enhanced version has same "enhanced" features as ASIC version + full resolution DAC (14-bit instead of 9-bit in real hardware versions) + zero busy flag time (busy flag in FM status is only emulated for real hardware chip versions). It corresponds to an "idealized" version of the chip, like it is emulated in other Genesis emulators.

The low pass filter is unrelated to the chip DAC and exists in all console models (it is implemented by analog circuitry outside of the chip). It should be enabled for accurate emulation of analog sound output (and disabled if you prefer the clear sound of pure digital emulation). Filtering ratio is configurable because it varies for each console models (also between model 1 consoles or between model 2 ones) so it's up to you to find a value that matches your own memory of accurate sound. Default value should correspond to Model 1 VA4 console.*

@hitch187 said in Sega Genesis theme:

I think, personally for my system, the Splash screen is okay, I possibly could keep the systems menu as is on the default theme, then for the game selection for each system, have a custom background for each system (Edit: I don't actually think you can do this, I may have misspoke).

You actually can do that. Since the themes are based on layers it is possible to have one global background image and put different images on top. Setting up different images for each system can be done by the old method, where you have to create a separate theme.xml in its own systemname folder. Or by using variables and have all images in its own decicated folders.
The theme from @chicuelo is using that method to display different controller and character images on the carousel but it can easily be added to gamelist view.

@ricko This is not related to RetroPie. I'm guessing you are using Emulation Station on Windows with MakaronEX. Wrong forum, sorry.

@beldar So I thought there were regional differences between dual shock 4 v2's (Japan having the better dpad). There aren't. It was just a fluke. That dpad wasn't supposed to be in that V2 at all. I've found out that a lot (maybe all) of V1 dual shock 4's have that superior dpad. Apparently Sony thought they improved the dpad design in the V2 by making it more matte and grippy. But for me the older dpad plays miles better so I bought some broken V1 controllers to harvest those dpads. :)

If you can give me some images of how a Sega Genesis menu and game loading I might be able help

Well I've tested Sega CD and 32X on my Pi Zero. I used the overclock I mentioned above but with overvolt 2 instead of 6. Sega CD works flawlessly on FMV games and games that use scaling/rotation. Sega 32X is so close to full speed it hurts, but its not quite there. I'm sure if I could squeeze another 100 MHz out of the CPU safely it would work at full speed. It's funny because I remember 32X working good on my Pi1, just not PSX or above. That was a few RetroPie versions back however. This will eventually be a handheld system so active cooling is not really an option. As a result I will likely have to leave 32X out unfortunately, unless performance improves when I lower the screen resolution for the LCD. Out of curiosity, has anyone ever pushed a Pi1 or Pi Zero to 1100 MHz? If so was it stable? How about temperature under load?

I got ahold of them no good :( but we have another dev to ask, no worries red batman, ill push this to go forward, i got a answer from another dev but he said he would make a mod but not for 1 person and for only 1 game/ 2d games unless we get alot of people asking for it but thanks for reply and keep the hard studying up buddy thanks

The new GamepadBlock supports switching between the various controller modes via a virtual COM port.

For the ControlBlock a Bash script could be written that changes the controlblockservice.cfg file and reloads the ControlBlock service. I have not had time to work on that yet, though.

I have pretty much resorted to AdvanceMame for anything that the lr-MAME cores (mostly 2003) can't handle with a decent framerate and no glitches on the Pi3, and it's been surprisingly reliable.

I can even run the Sega System 24 games on it without any slowdown or problems, namely Bonanza Bros, CrackDown and Gain Ground.

Strongly recommend.

I Agree, the SEGA logo at the very beginning is nice for an intro. A 6.7 second intro to be exact. A bit short but it could be extended to keep showing the logo for a few more seconds.

"IN STORES SEPTEMBER, 2017" the SNES mini will be in the stores in September too. Soon we're going to have the Second 16Bit war LOL.

very clean

nice work

@FrustratedUser

Glad to hear it.

@administrators @obsidianspider hmmm Interesting.

I probably misunderstood @RobotLimeLtd reply. On my version 4.1, yes I did have the SegaCD bios file in the bios folder. That I know does work. When I went to go update to 4.2. I simply formatted my sd card so there is nothing on it. Installed RetroPie 4.2. Plugged in my USB that has all the roms, bios, configs just like if your adding a new game (not over the internet). If that makes sense. All my games such as NES, MegaDrive, Atari, PS1 (which has bios) all works fine. SegaCD does not. I never once tinkered with where the files.

I love the new fixes on it though.

@administrators " you've modified something on your system that has changed the defaults." What modifications can I have done to make it change? I only have changed the occasional ES themes and changed the splash screen.

Overall thanks for the responses!! Means a lot. I may just install the new update at a later time.
