Title: gens not working win7
Post by: toothlessgrinn on April 23, 2018, 07:59:44 AM
I had it working before but my HDD took a crap on me and I forgot how I did it. Can anyone help me with the
Switches I need in the args line? Or is there a better emulator for genesis then gens??

Any help is most appreciated!!
Thanks!


BTW...
I have the config at default..

Look at the default config on github? MAME has near perfect emulation for Genesis and Neo Geo.

I don't know what the hell I'm doing wrong but I can't find it... Do you have a link maybe? I'm not sure if I'm even looking in the right place. I'm not very familiar with github. Was first time on the site and I get " can't find any match to your inquiry" or maybe I just don't know how to word it right. I search for Mame default configuration files.

Sorry man I'm a hardware guy and when it comes to software and searching I get lost very easily. LMAO!!

Thanks again for any and all help.

File format in link is not in attract config format, but you can easily see all the necessary into to create a config file.

If they have Sega Fusion for your platform I would go with that.
