      Hi there,

      I am having some issues trying to run SegaCD roms.

      First of all, I did not find where to download the bios files for genesis-plus. But I owned and used the files for picodrive for years now (by the way, why should the bios files be different from an emulator to another ?) on my desktop computer.

      When trying to launch a rom using Picodrive, I get a green screen basically saying: "This game cannot be played on a Japanese system". I removed the japan bios file just to make sure but I still had the same error.

      For the playstation 1, I am using the same bios file that I have been using for years (which is not referenced on the retropie help page), and it's working well.

      First of all, does any of you know where I could download the files for genesis-plus ?
      And second, do you have any idea why I run into this issue ?

      Than you very much

        What game are you trying to run ?

          @Zangdaarr picodrive and genesisplus-gx use the same bios. They just have to be named differently. See here:

            @mitu I have been trying to run Flink(U) and Dragon's Lair

            @quicksilver thank you, I was going to try that it's nice to have a confirmation beforehand
