    Default trouble with ADVMENU and ADVMESS...

    Hello,
    ADVMENU cannot run any Sega Megadrive rom.
    I set up all ADVMENU.rc file correctly but nothing works.
    I also put some Sega Megadrive bios and rom in rom folder but i got no luck.

    So can you tell me where is my mistake in ADVMENU.rc file here below ?:


    Emulador MEGADRIVE
    *******
    emulator "MEGADRIVE" generic "advmess.exe"
    emulator_roms "MEGADRIVE" "rom\megadrive\roms\"
    emulator_altss "MEGADRIVE" "rom\megadrive\snap\"
    emulator_roms_filter "MEGADRIVE" ".rar;.md;*.zip"

    What format are the Megadrive roms in, inside the zip files if they are compressed and does the emulator support that format

    Megadrive/Genesis roms can be in a few formats *.md *.bin *.smd *.mgd (*.md and *.smd I am sure are actually the same format, but lots of software does not support the *.md file ext)

    P.S. can't claim to of used whatever it is you are using as an emulator though, kinda sounds like Mess though, that to be honest is maybe not the best choice to use

    Retroarch is a better choice for multi system emulation

    well, i use as MULTI SYSTEM emulator the ADVANCE MESS that has got the best graphic, that's why i choose it.
    Other emulators do not get that good graphic like ADVANCE MESS's.
    ADVANCE MESS (and ADVANCE MAME) use SVGAWIN like graphic driver.
    You can check it out here:
    www.advancemame.it

    Anyway, i use ADVANCE MENU (a kind of official ADVANCE MAME front-end) to run MESS roms.
    The problem is to edit and to compile ADVANCE MENU config file named ADVANCEMENU.rc

    My Megadrive roms are inside the zip files (compressed) and frontend ADVANCEMENU support any rom format.

    I refuse to use Retroarch because his graphic is like the others' and i want a special emulaotr like ADVANCE MESS and ADVANCE MAME are.
    ADVANCE MENU is their official front-end.

    I would try the official forums for the front end and try and get help from those that use it

    If I did I would of offered more help but as it is I don't

    I use My Xbox (Original) and my Wii to emulate other consoles, N64, PSX & Saturn and up over I still use real consoles anything older I emulate now but on other consoles rather than through my PC that is more of a hacking platform than a gaming one anyway

    Anyway sorry you stumped me on this one

    And wish you all the best in finding the answers you need.
