My problem is that I put all the roms, (.dm files), onto the cart, and it's just not getting read. They aren't listed as possible selections. I can run the emulator just fine, it's just not noticing the games, so I can't play any. :(

I read that it can only read .gen, .smd, and .bin files. How can I get these files converted from the downloads on this site? http://www.pocketheaven.com/ph/wiki/JEnesisDS#Features

Please, if you're asking for help then be as thorough as you can so we can help diagnose your problem as quickly as possible.

Things you should post when asking for help:

Hardware
If you don't know how to find out any of the information below then just go to start>search>dxdiag and hit enter (Windows 7 and Vista). If you're running Windows XP go to start>run>dxdiag.exe and hit enter. Show/Tell us what it says on the screen that opens, on both the system and display tabs.
Spoiler warning:

CPU.
Spoiler warning:

It's important to mention what make/model as well as how many GHz it runs at, as well as how many cores it has.

Graphics card.
Spoiler warning:
Please make sure to tell us what model your video card is, whether it be an onboard chipset or a GTX295.

RAM.
Spoiler warning:
Be as specific as you can when posting information about your RAM, try and state how many MB/GB and whether it's SD/DDR/DDR2/DDR3.

Operating system.
Spoiler warning:

Please mention which operating system you're using, whether it's Windows XP or Windows 7, etc. It's also important to mention whether you're using x86 (32bit) or x64 (64bit) operating system.



Consoles
Spoiler warning:

Which mod you're using to load your backups, whether it be a modchip or a softmod.
Spoiler warning:
PS2 eg: FMCB memory card with ESR
Xbox eg: Softmod through XBMC dashboard
Xbox 360 eg: iXtreme 1.61
And so on.


Which brand of disc you're using.
Spoiler warning:
This can be quite important, if you're using cheap discs your console probably has issues reading them.
eg: Verbatim or Memorex, etc.


Which burning software you're using.
Spoiler warning:
This is also important, some software aren't as good as others.
eg: Nero or ImgBurn, etc.


Which brand your burner is.
Spoiler warning:
Some companies manufacture better drives than others, so it's important to have a good quality burner.
eg: Samsung or Pioneer, etc.


What speed you burned the disc at.
Spoiler warning:
Write speed is very important. If you've burned the disc too fast then there's a good chance that's the reason your console is failing to read the disc.
eg: 4x or 8x, etc.



Emulation
Spoiler warning:

Which emulator you're using.
Spoiler warning:
There are lots of emulators out there, please try and be as specific as possible.

Which version of the emulator you're using.
Spoiler warning:
There are usually lots of versions of an emulator, so please be specific as to which version you're using.

Which plugins you're using.
Spoiler warning:

Please post your plugin configurations along with this information.

Have you tried an alternative ISO/ROM of the same game?
Spoiler warning:
It's possible it was a corrupt download or a bad copy of the game, it's always worth re-downloading another copy before asking for help if possible.

Or have you tried any other emulators?
Spoiler warning:
Some emulators have better compatibility than others, it's always worth trying another emulator or at least checking a compatibility list for the emulator you're using before asking for help.

What this guy said, was this:
__________________________________________________ ________
First Step

download Exoboot (http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.ph...&page=18&pp=15) and follow the instructions there

Second Step

Convert the CD 2 file to a self-boot image using EXOBOOT. This tool is easy and intuitive, you'll see it

Third Step

Download DAEMON TOOLS 3.29 (wrote that in google and you gonna find it) and load the image created by EXOBOOT. Then run Chankast, load the game. **IMPORTANT: The image only works in DAEMON TOOLS 3.29, if you use another version it won't work.**


Fourth Step

ENJOY!

I've recently discovered that it's possible to burn a selfbooting Marvel vs. Capcom 2 disc for dreamcast that uses a custom soundtrack, as opposed to the elevator music that comes with the game. I'm using the guide found here to do it. I've successfully turned all the mp3's I want to use into .bin files, so I'm pretty sure my problem has nothing to do with that.

In the guide, it tells me to scrap the 1st_read.bin and IP.bin files that came with the selfbooting .cdi file (which I got from the main site), and substitute them with "fresh" ones, as the guide calls it. Google has not helped me at all in finding "fresh" binary files, so I tried using the binary files that I used to make a Dream Explorer disc, but I just ended up with a disc with Dream Explorer on it. My next attempt was to just go ahead and try the binary files that came with the selfbooting MVC2 image, but that would not boot, and my Utopia disc did not help it. My third attempt was to use only the 1st_read.bin file that came with the disc, and to let Boot Dreams create an IP.bin file.. still no luck.

This is really confusing the shit out of me, because Boot Dreams has worked well for me before in creating selfbooting discs. Also, I don't know why I would have to get new binary files, when I know for a fact that the ones that came with the image I downloaded work fine. I made a mvc2 backup (totally unmodified) with the image from the main site, and it has given me no problems at all. I usually have some kind of idea what could be causing my problems when it comes to emulation, etc., but this time I am clueless.

I don't know that anyone here has made custom soundtracks for DC games, but if someone has, please help me out. I don't want those three useless CDRs I have to be wasted in vain. If there's any other info I can give that will help you help me, let me know so I can post it ASAP. Thanks in advance.

Frist how does one setup chankast. Alot of install guides on youtube say to set it up like any normal emu, then use daemon tools. I got all the bios, DT lite, and other stuff to get started. I guess what I'm saying is that I need someone to grab me by the hand and take me through it.
I'll report back once I unzip everything.

Just so we're clear this is prolly the best emu site around.
most of the rest are all secrective about it. Kinda like the MUGEN community.

Also if I remember correctly, PSO v1 had a cd serial # that you had to put in before you could play.....or was that just for online play...hell IDK it's been years ]]> Sega systems Dayis224 http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?t=85943 Captain Tsubasa Sega CD - save problem http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?t=85294&goto=newpost Wed, 02 Jun 2010 09:38:58 GMT hello I have problem in save the game with this game Captain Tsubasa Sega CD and the emultor I use is Fusion 3.4 hello

I have a model 1 NTSC-U Dreamcast that was manufactured in April of 2000. I downloaded Rez (PAL) from the main site, and I want to play it on my DC. After extracting it twice, I ended up with a .cdi, a .nfo, and a .sfv file. I've found pages that claim the .cdi means the game will self boot, and others that say that I will need a file called IP.BIN in order for the game to self boot.

These are my queries:
1. What is the best thing for me to do in order to override the region code? I would prefer not having multiple boot discs lying around, so I was thinking about the Utopia Boot Disc. I don't know if it's region free, though.

2. What do I need to put on the game disc? Is the .cdi file enough? Is the .sfv file necessary?

3. In the future, will I need to have an IP.BIN file in order to burn games that will self boot?

4. Zorlon's guide states that my model 1 DC will only play data/data mil-cd's. I really don't know enough about this to tell what is on the sessions of this image. Can anyone confirm that model 1 DC's will only play data/data mil-cd's? If so, how can I tell what is on the image's sessions?

Normally, I would let trial and error figure these things out for me, but, considering I only have 2 cd-r's left, I need to make sure I get this right the first time.

Any and all help is very appreciated.

EDIT: I'm switching to the NTSC-J version of the game. Due to a momentary brain fart, I forgot that I don't have a tv that runs at 50 hz. However, this still leaves me with the problem of bypassing the region.

I also need to add another question. Can I use the same VMU to store save files from different regions? ]]> Sega systems Blashyrkh http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?t=84966 Skies of Arcadia help http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?t=84861&goto=newpost Thu, 27 May 2010 21:01:09 GMT Hello im trying to play skies of arcadia with nulldc but evertime ive opened it it doesant show anything just a blank screen tryed both nullpvr plug and chankast video plug and swiching cable modes nothing seems to work if anyone can help plz Hello im trying to play skies of arcadia with nulldc but evertime ive opened it it doesant show anything just a blank screen tryed both nullpvr plug and chankast video plug and swiching cable modes nothing seems to work if anyone can help plz ]]> Sega systems Rasg http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?t=84861 Chankast .25 http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?t=84078&goto=newpost Thu, 20 May 2010 00:08:42 GMT Ok i got a whole list of problems so far i had it working at one point before i had to system restore almost a year ago.

I used MagicISO to burn the image. ]]> Sega systems BlueScapegoat http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?t=80860 SSF fullscreen? http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?t=80666&goto=newpost Mon, 12 Apr 2010 23:00:15 GMT Anyone know how to get SSF to run in fullscreen?

All the other games work perfectly fine. I burned these 2 games with the same program and settings I used on the others.

It was .cdi format, all the games are self-boot, and I burned them with Disc Juggler. I used DC Hakkar to check the games, and Prince of Persia has the music file on the disc, it just wont load when I play.

Is there any way I can fix this? The opening FMV in PoP has music, though. ]]> Sega systems SHINOBI_3 http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?t=80346 About to give up on DC emulation. General Help http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?t=80197&goto=newpost Wed, 07 Apr 2010 20:36:36 GMT Hey guys, I would like to preface this by thanking you in advance for your patience.

I've been spending my free time for the last couple of days pulling my hair out trying to get a DC emulator to work.

I tried both nullDC and Chankast.

When I run nullDC with the Chankast graphics plugin, I get the distorted graphics that most people seem to get with the Chankast graphics plugin. However, when I switch to the nullDC graphics plugin, there's a white screen, then a black screen, then it says "nullDC stopped working, Windows is searching for a solution" Then is closes because, as we all know, Windows never finds a solution!

So I decided to give up on nullDC and try Chankast. I can get it to run but with the same distorted graphics. Also, it only runs as an audio CD. (Yes, I switched to different drivers).

I'm kind of a noob when it comes to computer hardware and software so I may be wrong but I think I found my problem.

I only have Mobile Intel 945 Express Chipset Family graphics card. It came stock with my laptop. Is that good enough and my problem lies elsewhere? If it's not good enough, is there a way around the problem without having to buy more hardware?

I have Vista Home Ed(32) and I'm trying to play PSO.

If you need any more information, please ask.

I burned many games (dreamcast games mostly) using princo cds usually there isn't any problem but some games that I burned about three years ago started to malfunction, specially those that I played the most in that time. I take really good care of my games but what if my dreamcast is the problem, recently burned games work fine though.
Should I repair my dreamcast? or the same fate awaits to all my burned games. ]]> Sega systems aspinia http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?t=80075 SSF issues... http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?t=80072&goto=newpost Tue, 06 Apr 2010 18:05:22 GMT hey everyone, im sorry to bring this up as its probably been brought up many times, yet I still cant seem to find any solutions within these forums or on google.

It would be very much appreciated if anyone could tell me how to fix this.

I'll cut to the chase here, am I right to assume that CDI's that are around 200 meg have no dummy data? is it possible to take these CDI's and add dummy data to them? if so, how would one go about doing it?

the reason I'm asking is because I've been reading about the ongoing discussion over discs with dummy data being far easier to read on a dreamcast than that of ones that are burnt closer to the centre of the disc.

thanks for any help. ]]> Sega systems Tensketch http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?t=79107 Chankast Speed Issue http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?t=78875&goto=newpost Sat, 27 Mar 2010 12:17:33 GMT Ok I'm having a problem trying to run Shenmue (PAL) on my Chankast.

Basically everything runs too fast. Frames say 60 (if i'm reading the right number), I've set Vsync on forced for my graphics card and setting the emulator into Full Screen seems to have fixed most issues. (The menu with the VMU's etc is now normal speed and the Shenmue game menu is all normal now)

However the game and in-game videos are just too fast, despite the frames saying 60, so how do I set it to 50? (how I remember most Dreamcast games actually played) I have no options to do so and it's frustrating me.

I'd heard that Audio Sync forces it to 50, but I haven't got that option?

Lastly a quick BIOS question: I ripped my own BIOS but notice that never save my settings in Chankast. I have to reset time, auto-off and language everytime I start the emulator? Baffles me why it starts in spanish when my BIOS were always run in English. ]]> Sega systems Damian227 http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?t=78875 <![CDATA[I can't get this stupid game to work.]]> http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?t=78270&goto=newpost Wed, 24 Mar 2010 01:13:30 GMT Hi.

Now, this sounds like a good idea, as this netbook is the same price as a Saturn and TurboDuo. My only concern is that while I know that it can run TurboDuo via Magic Engine, will a netbook run Sega Saturn games?

Here is the specs:

Genuine Windows® XP Home Edition SP3
160G, 2.5inch, 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
1GB DDR2 SDRAM
Intel® Atom™ Processor N450 (1.6GHz/667Mhz FSB/512MKB cache)

Will it run with these specs?
